I totally don’t remember

Its late and there was a reason I wanted to write a blog post, but I no longer remember. It was a funny story (I think about Connor) but I don’t have an inkling as to what it was now. I can tell you that Connor is now saying “ma ma” and bopping (just cuz…

Weekly photo project – 40 weeks

And the highlight of my week was getting my quilt. I’ll be honest, these pictures don’t do it justice – its very cool (as far as quilts go). And it was wrapped up so nice, I really didn’t want to undo it. Here’s a sneak peak. You’ll have to wait until week 52 to see…

Our week in review

While things are cranking up on the work front, there was no slowing down in our household either. Most notable, Connor had his nine month doctor’s appointment. He took it like a champ (as always) and all stats indicate he is doing just fine. He dipped a little in his weight (from 55th to 25th)…

Love this!

I admit – I was watching a bit of the football game – saw this ad – how poignant!

‘Kinley

Auntie Em’s (as Cailee affectionately refers to her Aunt Emily) bestie took some adorable photos of the Braxton girls recently. The composition of the photos is great, so I couldn’t resist.

Luke-warm

I mean, is it spring time already? The plants on my porch – that are usually brown with frost by the first week in October are still green (except for the ones that I just stopped watering). Well, for the sake of those reading this years from now, it is January 8th and was nearly…

Back to the grind – with a smile

Well, duty calls, this week it was time to go back to work. I remember when my maternity leave was ending, I hated that I had to go back to work, I mean I wouldn’t be normal if I had been counting the minutes til I had to go back to the crazy life of…

The out-takes

No one warned me (or maybe they did and I didn’t listen) that around the 20ish week (maybe sooner) it was going to get difficult to take these weekly photos, well it did. But, if I thought that was bad – it was nothing compared to what it is like now. Now, he immediately goes…
