On November 19, we had our mid-pregnancy ultrasound. I was 20 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Although we didn’t want to find out the gender, we were looking forward to seeing our baby and hearing its heartbeat. We brought our children so they could see the ultrasound images too. I went back to the ultrasound… Continue Reading
It’s that time of the year — time to regale you with tales of our 3-year-old Owen. These update posts can get quite long, so without further ado, here’s what our little man has been up to for the past three months. Now that we’re well into age three, I can officially say that three-year-olds… Continue Reading
You’ve got to see my nephew’s adorable yet modern nursery! The aqua and spring green nursery decor with pops of peach is simply perfect for my sister’s sweet and snugly little baby Dominick. My sister Roberta did a fantastic job with the design (not surprising, since she is so creative). She generously shared some info… Continue Reading
You guys, this is BIG. You’ve got to watch the latest video from Kiddie Kopps Productions. It’s only a minute long but Owen and Carmendy’s performances are Oscar-worthy. It’s so good I’m thinking I should switch from a blogger to a vlogger. And you’ll want to wait until the end for this video…you don’t want… Continue Reading
I’m about ten days behind with this monthly update, as usual. BUT Carmendy is still 14 months old AND we took her photos on the actual date of her birth this month. So I’m kind of killing it this month, at least compared to my punctuality in the rest of my life. I should probably give this post… Continue Reading
Aaaahh. It’s fall. A time for spiced lattes, sweaters, pumpkin patches, and apple pies. A season filled with outdoor activities for families – festivals, hayrides, apple picking, corn mazes, pumpkin patch visits. Glorious days in the golden sun of autumn, playing in the falling leaves and savoring the crisp air. Yep, fall is here and… Continue Reading
Good news! I’ll be chronicling Carmendy’s second year of life monthly, so you’ll continue to see her cute pics every 30 days. Here’s our 13-month-old’s first second year report and photos. It’s a little late (okay, maybe two weeks late….but at least I’m posting this before she’s 14 months old!). This past month Carmendy reached… Continue Reading
I’m so excited to finally share Carmendy’s first birthday party with y’all! The sprinkles, sparkles and confetti birthday celebration was PERFECT for my baby girl, who loves all things tiny and shiny. Her bash was a small Friday evening get together with family but I still went a little crazy with the decorations, of course.… Continue Reading
She’s one! What a wonderful year it has been with our baby girl Carmendy. I tried to soak in every moment with her, knowing how quickly the days and months go by. And here I am trying to write a post about the very last month of her first year and I can barely remember… Continue Reading
Hard to believe, but Owen has been three for nearly a month. I swear we must have jumped through a wormhole because it feels impossible that I have a three year old and a one year old. While I find myself in the throes of deep sadness every time I think about how big my… Continue Reading
