We’ve been busy these past few weeks! A whirlwind of Thanksgiving, followed by a weekend up at Big Bear Lake. This week has been busy looking for part time sitters for Evelyn as I prepare to go back to work (womp womp) and trying to get in a few more fun day trips before it’s […]

Hi Guys, Happy Thanksgiving! This time of year is so special for us, not just because it’s our first Holiday Season with Evelyn but because this is the week, last year, that we found out we were pregnant. If you haven’t read my first blog post about our TTC journey that lasted over a year […]
Well it finally happened – my first moment feeling like a complete and utter failure as a mom. This weekend has been a whirlwind of lows. I tried to have a good self pity cry in the shower but then I just felt guilty about the drought which made my cry less enjoyable and so […]

We were shocked and thrilled when she rolled over but it also makes me so sad how […]
Hi Gals, Quick post to share my favorite photos from Evelyn’s first Halloween! Evelyn & I were Wonder Woman, Tim was Clark Kent/Superman and my sister went as Wonder Woman’s Aunt. We had a ton of fun dressing up.
We flew back East for the first time when Evelyn was 8 weeks. We went back for two weeks to have her meet family and her cousins as we won’t be traveling back for Christmas. We also got her Baptized. [I’ll do a separate post on that once we get the pictures 🙂 ] She […]
