PSF – Beautiful Girl
I can’t get enough of this face. Eyes opened or closed, it doesn’t matter. I could stare at her all day. If only… Hosted by Cecily and Carissa
WW – Mothers & Daughters
My mom got pretty attached to Baby K when she was here last week. As she was leaving she urged me to send her lots of pictures (she doesn’t look at the blog that often) and we both fought back tears. I was so very happy to share my daughter with her, a time I…
Yesterday’s Pie Made Today
My mother and father are here until Friday afternoon and have been a great help since the baby was born. They’ve been driving the boys to and from school and mom has been cooking, baking and doing laundry. As well as helping with Baby K. Yesterday as I passed through the always clean when mom…
Of Course Breast is Best But GAH!!
So if you follow me on twitter and read my last post, you know Baby K and I are having some issues getting it together in the nursing department. We went today for a consult back at the hospital and met with a very lovely lactation consultant. We tried several things and made a little…
Do They Teach “Heart-String Pulling” in School?

WW – To The Baby Girl Inside
There was a time when I thought you would never be. But someone else had a different plan. I’d gotten used to the idea of our family being me, Daddy and your brothers. I’d embraced the fact that this was our little family and I was happy. Then one day everything changed. Daddy and I…
Just A Reminder
This is a little video of The B Man (my first baby who is now almost through with 2 weeks of Kindergarten) when he was a day old. It has no sound so don’t think that you are losing it (your ability to hear, that is) when you don’t hear anything. I just had to…
WW – I’m Not Gonna Go There…
… and call it the “terrible twos” because I just don’t like that term. BUT. I am going to go ahead and call it the “trying twos” because oh my golly have my patience and all kinds of other things of mine been “tried” lately by my two-year-old. He’s cute, yes but lately he’s been…
