Trip to Fredericksburg June 2021

Trip to Fredericksburg June 2021

Our little (haha, big!) family took a trip to Fredericksburg, Texas at the end of June. We picked Fredericksburg because we had never been there, and also because Gramps and Gram were going to be camping at Enchanted Rock State Park. We wanted to be able to spend a...

Archer is one!

Archer is one!

As I sit down to write this, the mom guilt spreads over me like a thick blanket in summer time. I just want to get this written... to feel like I at least have a foot hanging out from under this blanket. To cool that guilt that is a constant burning in my soul. You...

Lorelei’s first haircut

Lorelei’s first haircut

Lorelei has had a big week! First she became a big sister, and then she had her first haircut. Chris was cutting the boys' hair and Lorelei insisted that he cut hers too. I had to take some pictures to mark the occasion, even if it was just a little trim. It's a...

Mother’s Day 2019

For Mother's Day this year, we had our family over to hang out and get some baby cuddles. Chris grilled out, I got up to put some appetizers out... but tried not to over do it. It was a great time!

Archer’s first week

Lorelei is 3!

Lorelei is 3!

The last photo of Lorelei as a 2 year old. How can it be that my baby girl is about to be 3?! And yes, she is still addicted to the paci. I am hoping to have that addiction cured before she turns 4. But with a new baby on the way, it's not something we will likely...

Sarge

Sarge

We had Sarge euthanized today. He was 15 years old and had been having difficulty controlling his bowels for a while. Plus, he was in a lot of pain so the vet said that euthanizing him was the most compassionate thing we could do... even though it was super hard. To...
