I’m a little late on this (okay, really late) but I have finally gotten around to posting my birth story.   I decided to make a video because I thought it would be more efficient than writing a long journal entry.  However, due to my long-winded nature,  it ended up being 5 minutes-plus.   Yikes! … Read more

Baby Gus is 3 weeks old!   Time is FLYING.   Can you tell he’s getting bigger?

A big thanks to my dear friend Jayme Orn who took these beautiful pictures.   We are going to have a family photo session soon (that should be interesting) but until then, here are a few snapshots of our little pumpkin. 🙂

Happy November!  I had to double check the calendar this morning, is it really November already?    I guess it’s that newborn-baby time clock, my days and nights are running together.   I wanted to post my birth story and Halloween pics, but the days have gotten away from me.   I still don’t have … Read more
