You Became Ours {3 Month Update}

I'm a bit delayed on updating about Annabelle Grace's 3 month birthday.  It was actually November 23.  However, I waited on purpose!  (Cleary I've played catch up with a couple of other blog posts, but this one I intentionally chose to wait to write!  Why, you ask?  Because December 13 is a very special date.… Continue reading You Became Ours {3 Month Update}

Thanksgiving 2017

We did it....we took a trip to North Carolina, with a(n) {almost} 3 month old!  The trip to NC is about a 12-13 hour drive, with VERY few stops.  You also lose an hour (assuming you're driving from the central time zone like we do.)  These facts are all true WITHOUT a baby.

One Month of Our New… “Normal?”

"Did you see that shooting star tonight?  Were you dazzled by the same constellation?  Did you and Jupiter conspire to get me?  I think you and the Moon and Neptune got it right, 'cause now I'm shining bright, so bright. And I see colors in a different way.  You make what doesn't matter fade to… Continue reading One Month of Our New… “Normal?”
