Just like his mom, Alex has a huge attachment to his blankie. Its something I’ve put in his crib since around 6 months or so and now he needs it to go to sleep. He drags it around, chews on it, and rubs it on his face A LOT. We’ve since bought 2 more to keep at the Grandma’s houses… Read more →

Henry wanted to take advantage of the 3 days off and head to Truckee with his folks and his brother’s family. This SOUNDED like a good idea in theory. We said, “Let’s leave around Alex’s bedtime so he can sleep on the way up and traffic should be light by that time.” So, we packed up, loaded the car, and… Read more →

Henry’s dear friend from Seattle, Christy, got married in Sonoma on Aug 14th. We stayed at the Sonoma Hotel in the little downtown square. As far as hotels go, it doesn’t get much cuter than this. Looked like something out of 1910. It was a nice 24 hour break for Mom and Dad and we had a great time catching… Read more →

These are all wonderful milestones in our friend’s lives and each busy weekend creates wonderful memories with the people we love. Although, I’m going to admit….some days I want to park… Read more →

The bottom two appeared right around St. Patrick’s day (honestly) and a few weeks ago two of his top teeth broke through. It’s hard to get a giant smile big enough to snap a pic, but once again, my friend Nicole got one 🙂 Once you see the picture, you’ll know why we call him “fang”. The two middle ones… Read more →

This was a much-needed appointment. I was tired of tucking his LONG hair behind his ears and I found a really cute kid salon near by. He had just finally kicked his fever the day before, so I jumped at the chance to clean up his do’ to be ready for his birthday. He looks so handsome now!! He looks… Read more →

This year, we had a small BBQ at our house. I was excited to check out the festivities in the neighborhood this year since we were still in our old house for the holiday last year. Being on a cul-de-sac makes it perfect for firework viewing. And for the record, the street was poppin’ off. So much fun 🙂 The… Read more →
