This Loved Life: August 2014
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Harrison - 4 months. Harrison is somehow now 4 months old. I don't know how this is happening! I feel like he should still be such a little baby and I'm always surprised when we're out and about and I see newborns and do a double take, because they make him seem huge and old in comparison! I feel like he should still be the smallest but not anymore! He seems like such a big baby to me! He has become so much fun! He rolled over from back to front on Aug 1. He'd been trying ...

This Loved Life: November 2012
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. I am kind of a cheeseball about this holiday. I love to see the little ones all dressed up in their costumes. I still remember the nervous anticipation of this holiday and the excitement at seeing everyone look so out-of-the-ordinary. It's fun to relive some of the feelings now as a parent. I know I have limited time left while I can still dress Barrett in cute costumes, before he wants to be superman or a transformer or some other total boy. Walking back to the car. This...

This Loved Life: October 2012
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Goodbye high heels, Hello highchairs. Last May, my company announced its plans to relocate to Atlanta. I wrote then. So when the move was announced, I was thrown. Tim and I spent over a year in this strange limbo, where we weren't sure what to do. We wanted more space but didn't want to do anything more with the house until we knew what our plans were. We decided that moving for my job is not in the cards right now. But at what cost? I am incredibly nervous about this "new li...

This Loved Life: December 2012
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 2, 2012. Audrey - 12 months. My Audrey. I knew I would love you but I had no idea how much you would hold my heart. You are my angel. You are one year now and I wish I could rewind time and live some of this last year over again. It has gone so fast and I already feel like timing is flying by with you faster than it did with your brother. Your personality is really starting to come out. You are a rascal! You love to head over to Payton's food and water bowls. Sometimes you just sit t...

This Loved Life: June 2013
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 3, 2013. My Little Van Goghs. Lately I've been feeling like the Pied Piper of the 3 and Under set. Anywhere I go, I lead a parade. So if I need to buy myself a few minutes to get dinner ready, the latest trick I've found is coloring. One day I had to run out to the garage to grab something out of the refrigerator and left the kids in the kitchen coloring. I was gone approximately 60 seconds. This is what I came back to:. Purple marker makes good lipstick, apparently. Enjoying the Small Things.

This Loved Life: Harrison is Born!!!
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2014/08/harrison-is-born.html
Sunday, August 10, 2014. On April 3, 2014, our littlest one Harrison Wesley was born at 4:02am! He weighed in at 7lbs, 15oz and was 21" long. We stopped to pick up lunch on the way, a turkey sandwich and Oreo smoothie from Potbellys, the same final meal actually I'd had the night before Barrett was born. At 4:02am on Thursday, April 3, Harrison Wesley was lifted from me. We hadn't known the sex, so Tim looked over the curtain, his mouth dropped open and he announced it was a boy! I was still in such a st...

This Loved Life: September 2012
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Another whirlwind week come and gone. I seriously stopped in my tracks this morning at the realization that it was already the end of September. Crazy! Our lives have been even more hectic than usual lately it seems. Last Monday: appointment with Audrey's ENT to have her tubes checked. All is good. Last Tuesday: appointment with all 4 of the therapists that evaluated Audrey and the coordinator and discussion of the next steps. And Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. So easy a...

This Loved Life: Life with 3 - the first month
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2014/08/life-with-3-first-month.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Life with 3 - the first month. The first few weeks home, the kids begged to hold Harrison every morning. They couldn't wait to see him and begged to hold him. The first morning he was home was no exception. Barrett holding his new baby brother. Audrey holding her new baby brother.. And we refereed regular arguing over who got to hold him first and most. Barrett was obviously pouting over not being able to hold him at the current moment.. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

This Loved Life: Bringing Home Baby
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2014/08/bringing-home-baby.html
Tuesday, August 12, 2014. I would be remiss to not post about the wonderful greeting we had when we brought Harrison home from the hospital! When we brought Barrett home, it was a quiet and snowy December 26, and we arrived to a quiet and clean house and I spent the rest of the day nuzzling a sweet little newborn, hanging out in the window to help his jaundiced skin and taking photos of the little one. This time, we arrived home to a PARTY! When I asked Barrett if he was excited that Harrison was home, I...

This Loved Life: April 2013
http://thislovedlife.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 23, 2013. And just one more. Barrett: "I don't want to go to school today. I want to go to work with you.". Me: "You wouldn't like Mommy's work. There's no playground and no friends and no books. It's not very much fun. Why would you want to go to work? Barrett: "I just want to be with you, Mommy," wrapping his arms around my legs and kissing them. Saturday, April 20, 2013. Barrett, to me: "What are the dogs' names? Me: "I don't know. Why don't you ask? Barrett: "Maybe they don't talk".
