Christmas morning was magical! All nine of us (Mom and Dad Moody and three brothers had flown in on Christmas Eve) gathered in the family room to read the Christmas story and sing carols before opening the gifts. This was my favorite Christmas yet. I loved having a newborn at Christmas as it made the… Read More Christmas With Little Boys
The beautiful thing about nursing a newborn is that it forces me to sit down and open my eyes so I can truly see my babies. Just mentioning the phrase “living in the moment” can make any mommy feel a weight of guilt. After all, a mommy can’t sit around the house all day “living… Read More Sit Still and See
Morning is such a nice way to start the day! Morning means we’ve made it through another night. Morning means sipping coffee. Morning means a snoozing Cooper. Morning means sitting on the couch while PBS plays for Silas. Morning means a few minutes on my laptop–a luxury these days. I love being a mommy. And… Read More Happily Adjusting
Watching TV in the morning~Hanging out with the iPad~Putting up the Christmas tree~ Loving our little men~There’s just something special about a daddy and his sons.
Cooper is just ten days old. Having a second child is both new and comfortable at the same time. I find I have a lot more confidence as a mom this time around, but yet, I can get overwhelmed with the emotions and tasks of mothering two little boys at once. I’m so thankful Mom… Read More 10 Days

Since last Friday was a cold, rainy, gray day, both Tammy and I felt like Panera Bread was in order for lunch. The broccoli cheddar soup hit the spot! Then we met the rest of the girls at the nail spa for manicures before heading to the church for the rehearsal. Stephanie had asked Silas to… Read More Rehearsing for the Big Day
Bitty Boy is so much fun! The other night he discovered his shadow on the wall for the first time. He decided the shadow needed a hug, so he hugged the wall! He’s also starting to say several words together. Just the other day, after finishing a brownie, he said, “More cookie, Mommy.” Now he… Read More Animal Sounds, Etc.
With only one grandchild–and him living on the other side of the country–I’m sure it’s a little hard for my parents and Stephen’s parents to really feel like grandparents all the time. I like to send them things from Silas to remind them that there really is a cute little boy way out in Arizona… Read More Send a Hug Across the Miles
