Here is baby Garrett getting frustrated. It breaks my heart when he cries because he has little lip tremble, then he scrunches his face (like the photo) and lets out the sweetest, most heart-breaking little cry! It makes me want to rush up and hold him now just thinking about it. Here is his “thinker” … Read more
Mission: Organization
The countdown is on! One week from today I’ll be back to work full-time. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at work again, doing the show, and being part of a great team again. I’m NOT however, looking forward to waking up at 3:00am again.:) The past 8 weeks have flown by and it … Read more
Alive
Here is a picture from “Alive” yesterday! I brought Gabe, Garrett and Grandma and we had a blast! Jim had to work and Grant stayed behind because I knew he would be bored 5 minutes into it (trust me though, he was in toddler paradise with his babysitter)! I am a huge Third Day fan … Read more
Checkup
Today was my 6 week after baby checkup. All I could think about was stepping on the scale and facing the numbers. I wore flip-flops and light clothing, anything I thought would help my cause! I realize that it’s not something I should waste my time worrying about but a small part of me always … Read more
Considering Crocs
Have you noticed these shoes popping up all over? I heard of them about a year ago but didn’t think much of it, because I assumed they would be too ugly to catch on.:) Now it seems like everywhere I go, everyone has a pair! So what do you think? I always hear how comfortable … Read more

Oh what a week! It started wonderfully with some excellent news…Jim got a new job! He really liked what he was doing but something else came along and he just couldn’t pass it up. He’ll be working helping disabled Veterans and I am so proud of him. We took a little trip to Columbus to … Read more
Footprints
30 toes…wow! I love this picture of the boys and their precious feet, each at a different stage. When Grant was born I took a similar photo and it’s already amazing to see how much his little feet have grown. How funny it will be to look back when they are wearing size 10 and … Read more
Family Bonding
Long time no write! Life has been so full and most of the time I’m not even sure what day it is! I guess maternity leave can do that, along with days and nights running together. Earlier this week we rented a boat on Portage Lakes and had an amazing time on the water, and … Read more
Ready to Run!
Today I heard about the most exciting invention since the mini-van! As an aspiring runner, I am always looking for things to motivate and help me become a better athlete (and I use that term loosely). I love to run, it has become my passion even though I am not naturally gifted in that area, … Read more
Ready for Fun in the Sun!
…Well, shade mostly.:) Here is my 2 week old little buddy! Yesterday my parents took Gabe and Grant to the Akron Zoo, and Jim was working so it was JUST me and GareBear all day! I didn’t know what to do!? Lol. I’m never without my boys so I felt kinda lost without them for … Read more
