I haven’t posted in a LOONNGGG while….mainly because we had some major changes in our lives…including moving to a new state, starting a new job, living apart from each other for a month while Bryce finished his old job, living with my parents for that month, finding a home to rent for our family, unpacking…
Max Grows: Two Months
We’ve got ourselves a two month old! It’s unbelievable how much Max has grown and developed this month! He’s much less of a “blob” and more “baby” with every passing day. It’s so fun watching him develop and grow, and it’s been wonderful to get to introduce him to all the wonderful people in our…
9 Must-Haves to Survive Public Diaper Blowouts
Morgan and Max’s Hilariously Horrible No Good Very Bad Day….a book being published just in time to be under your tree for Christmas this year. Just kidding….but in all seriousness this was QUITE the weekend! We made the 8 hour drive to Michigan so Bryce could be in his friend’s wedding and Max did phenomenally…
Max Grows: One Month
I can’t believe one month has passed already! (Actually to be honest, Max is now seven weeks as of tomorrow…but I’m just now getting this posted.) It has been a crazy whirlwind getting to know our son and getting used to our new normal, but we wouldn’t have it any other way! Here are the…
Guilt vs. Gratitude
We were so lucky to have Bryce home with us for three solid weeks right after Max was born. But for the last two weeks, Bryce has been in full blown camp-mode…working long days–like 14 hour days–to get ready for the camp season which started today. Every night that he has come home late, he has…
Celebrating Year One of Marriage
Note: I wrote this post last month…but due to a new baby in my arms all the day long…I never got a chance to get the pictures in and post it. So here it is: a month after our first anniversary! It’s fitting that today it’s pouring down rain. Rain pours on the best days…
Max’s Birth Story
On April 20, I went to bed with my alarm set for 9:00. I had my 38 week doctor’s appointment scheduled for the following morning at 10:30. I slept horribly that night. Worse than I had in a long time. I woke up around 3:00 a.m. and couldn’t get back to sleep until 7:00. When…
Our Son’s Name and the Story Behind It…
When Bryce and I found out we were having a boy, we tossed around a few names…but there was one that we kept coming back to. You see…Bryce and I both spent nearly every summer of our childhood and teenage years at Camp Tippecanoe Baptist Camp in Northern Indiana. It was there that we not…
Maternity Pictures!
We were so lucky to be able to sneak in an extra trip home before our baby boy is born…and on our first day back, we got to head up north to see Mandy…our dear friend who took our engagement pictures and wedding pictures. A couple months back she messaged me and said, “When do…
Spring Break Appendectomy
I had planned on using my spring break to get a jump start on creating a backup of blog posts, cleaning like a crazy woman, organizing the nursery, and doing some meal prep for when the baby comes…however…life had other plans. I spent the first day of break accomplishing my cleaning-like-a-crazy-woman goal. Every nook, every corner, every…
