Well look at that, I’m back for round two for February!! This month may have been short but it certainly was packed. So here we go! The month unfortunately started off with the stomach bug that has run rampant everywhere. It took our smallest one down, but thankfully he was a champ. It cancelled aContinue reading “the February chronicles”

Oh hello there. So here I am again because I often think of how much of Caleb’s younger years are documented on this blog, but poor Luke has definitely had the short end of the stick. In an attempt to reconcile that, I’ve decided to recap each month this year for a family record ofContinue reading “the January chronicles”

After we sent Caleb off to 2nd grade, Luke and I waited one more week and then it was back to preschool we went! Luke was VERY excited to be moved up to the 3’s class with Mrs. Joanna. He spent many weeks with me up at my classroom getting it ready before school soContinue reading “All About Luke: Back to Preschool!”

It is hard to believe but we are already in our third year of elementary school for our big guy! Something about second grade just seems BIG. But he was beyond ready! This year feels like his first NORMAL school year and we are SO excited for him. A lot of his close buddies areContinue reading “All About Caleb: Off to 2nd Grade!”

As crazy as it is, this summer has come & gone! But what’s even more sad is that at some point, I stopped documenting our family’s adventures on this blog. It’s been a YEAR! I love to write and I love to keep record of what our fam is up to so here I amContinue reading “The Summer of 2022”

Y’all, I don’t even know how we have arrived here. My little baby has decided to get all big enough to go to preschool. And what is even more fun is now I’m a preschool teacher and his class is literally right next to mine! It was always so fun knowing that Caleb was inContinue reading “All About Luke: Off to Preschool!”

Here we are again – sending our child to elementary school in a pandemic! Although last year was so strange, Caleb absolutely loved kindergarten. His teacher and school were so wonderful and made school so much fun even amidst the weirdness. The great thing is that he didn’t really know the difference since it wasContinue reading “All About Caleb: Off to 1st Grade!”

Wow! Looking back at my last blog post, it was OCTOBER. This feels like right around the time that life really geared back up to ‘normal-ish.’ But let’s be honest, normal is all pretty relative these days. Life just started to feel more full last fall when up to that point, it had been prettyContinue reading “Farewell to Summer, Hello to a New Chapter!”

Man, this year has been a doozy. From a pandemic to social injustices to super vocal differing opinions about EVERYTHING, this world feels overwhelming and stressful. When my mom called and invited us to a week at the beach on a pretty low-key island in the middle of October, we said YES. Would we haveContinue reading “A Sunny Spot Amidst the Chaos”

Just like that, our first baby went and turned 6! Who does he think he is getting so old that he has to use BOTH hands to show his age?! This kid has had such a huge year. He started kindergarten, he’s handled a pandemic like a champ, and he chose to follow Christ! WeContinue reading “Caleb is SIX!”
