Thanks to good old Day Light Savings, my kids are waking up extra early (look at the clock in the background). Yesterday, Kensington was up at 6:15. Since I had some work to do in our study, I told her…
It’s time…
…to bust out some Christmas pjs.
Away in the Manger
Yesterday, Smith took a 4 hour nap, so Kensington and I had plenty of time to break out her new toy… I ordered her the Fisher-Price Little People Nativity Set. Since she loves Little People, I knew she would love…
Beauty and the Beast (or tiger…whatever)
Smith’s first Halloween! We had so much fun. Kensington was only 6 weeks old at her first Halloween, so it was very different having a 9 1/2 month old instead. Different meaning so much more fun! My little ones were…
Full Monty
We’re in big girl panties. I say “we” because it’s a team effort. On Wednesday and Thursday, Kensington wore them around most of the day. On Friday, my friends Helen and Nancy told me I needed an “all or nothing”…

My little pumpkins
On Friday after dinner, we headed to a pumpkin patch along with my parents and grandparents. Right now, my friend Sheaffer is thinking, “Seriously, Shay. Is that the best you could do?”. Yes, Sheaffer, that’s the best I could do. …
A Fair to Remember
Andrew and I always use the State Fair of Texas as a gauge for our family. Whenever it’s “fair season” we always reflect back on our own “fair story” and the journey we took to get our babies. Here is…
