It was right after St. Patrick's Day in 2015 when I started to get suspicious. I was super bloated, and I literally couldn't get enough protein. I craved chicken and beef jerky like crazy. I also couldn't get enough buffalo sauce. I wasn't "late" yet, so I thought I was just PMS-ing (this also causes… Continue reading When we found out.

Constant motion.
Spenny has been officially walking for 3 weeks now, and is constantly on the go. He runs circles around our apartment, dragging his toys, laundry, and anything else he can get his mitts on. He's a busy boy. But he hits his breaking point after a few hours, and usually throws himself onto the floor… Continue reading Constant motion.
70 degrees in January!
A typical morning.
I'm going to miss these days when Spencer is older! I love our mornings together. When I hear him wake up, I go in his room and he's usually standing in his crib holding the railing. Some days he will be smiling and pointing at me, and some days he is just crying. I carry… Continue reading A typical morning.
What a difference a year can make.
I love reflecting on this past year, not just because it was our first year with Spencer, but because I am amazed and humbled by the ways God provided for us. Last January, I was set to return to work when Spencer turned 8 weeks old. I was a sobbing mess over this and couldn't… Continue reading What a difference a year can make.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
I feel like tonight is as good a night as any for a husband/father appreciation post. Moms get a lot of credit (well-deserved, of course!) but I believe good dads should as well. (Not just on Father's Day). My baby's dad... he's pretty great. To see how much he loves his boy, and how much… Continue reading Teamwork makes the dream work.
14 Months.
I often look at Spencer and wonder how he changed so fast. He seems to grow up faster every day, yet at the same time it feels like this is how he's always been and always will be. I remember when he was a newborn and I thought, "I'm going to miss this so much."… Continue reading 14 Months.
Magic House!
One of our Christmas gifts from Jordan's parents was a family membership to the Magic House in St. Louis, and we were so excited to go together. We got up early yesterday, picked up donuts, and headed out. Spencer must have known we were going somewhere fun, because he chattered happily in the backseat for… Continue reading Magic House!
Keeping it in perspective.
Last night, my son went to bed around 10:00. I readied myself for another night of little to no sleep. I don't know if I should blame some new teeth, or his separation anxiety, or what, but something has stolen sleep from my baby (and thus, from me) every night for the past week. Either… Continue reading Keeping it in perspective.
Intentional.
I had one thing, and one thing only, on my Christmas list for 2016. It was a devotional day planner from Anchored Press. As soon as I opened it on Christmas, I excitedly started filling it out. In the front is a page for listing my 2017 goals, my verse for the year, and my… Continue reading Intentional.
