Hello again, old blog. I’ve missed you. And that’s a nice surprise. I stopped blogging back in October for several reasons, and then decided to take a short hiatus to see how I felt about writing. As it turns out–though this blog is simply the good ol’ fashioned kind of blog that tells the daily… Read More Happy 2019!
She’s one of those friends I tell all my other friends about. She’s a force of nature, and she’s made a difference in my life. Connie came to visit us early this month, and we picked up right where we left off. Stephen and I first met Connie and her late husband, David, in Phoenix… Read More Connie Came
I wish you were here every day. Thank you for working so diligently to provide for us. Thank you for your perseverance under pressure. But still, these babies are so precious to watch every day. I wish you could experience: the crooked path Cooper takes to get from the family room to the front room… Read More Dear Stephen,
Brynn Kathryn had her first birthday on June 4th. Happy birthday, sweet baby girl! God gifted you to Mommy & Daddy. Mommy was longing for another baby, and we were so happy when we discovered you were a little girl baby. We thank God for you and all the gentleness you’ve brought to our family.… Read More Birthday Cupcake
Brynn took her first solo steps on May 16th, but it’s taken me this long to catch a good video of her showing off her new skill. This week she’s been especially persistent about staying on her feet. Though she didn’t begin walking as early as her brothers (Silas at 9 months & Cooper at 10… Read More We Have A Walker
Brynn Kathryn is getting close to turning one year old. She’s now 11 months, and it looks like we’ll still be here in Phoenix for her first birthday. I’ll be glad to spend time with friends who know and love Brynn for the first of her birthday celebrations. She even received an early birthday present… Read More Almost There
Back at the start of April, my Aunt Debby flew to Phoenix with her mom and three sisters to visit a cousin of theirs. She invited us to come spend an afternoon at the hotel pool with her and her sisters while they were in town. I have to tell you that it was such… Read More Belonging
Baby Girl’s fourth tooth popped through her top gum on her 10 month birthday. She has another one coming through any second now, so Brynn’s been a little fussy lately. Now that she has some teeth, I’ve been giving her more solid food. She’s tried avocado, Kix, Doritos (once child number three comes, this makes perfect… Read More Brynn Bear
Hey, everybody! I’m 9 months old now. That means I can wave, pull up on furniture and eat Cheerios. My first tooth popped through on the day before Valentine’s Day. (Mommy thinks it’s adorable that I have just one tooth.) I also love to dance! Music is optional. My favorite dance move is to bounce… Read More .75
This has been a big month for Baby Girl. She turned 8 months this past Thursday and can now sit unsupported, pull herself from lying down into a sitting position, do the army crawl, and even get up on all fours. She’s exercising her voice through babbling and making the motor boat sound. Brynn sometimes sings herself… Read More Brynn on the Big Screen
