First Birthday Party
I wanted to make time to catch up about the boys’ birthday(s). This year they got to have two parties, one in California and one in Texas. They were champs about the cake and opening presents and had a blast at both. The one in California was sort of a side note [...]

Happy First Birthday, my little loves!
You melt my heart with your smiles, giggles, hugs and cuddles. I love watching you toddle around the house with huge grins of satisfaction. You should be proud of yourselves, we sure are proud of you!
Photo shoot
Here is a little teaser of the boys’ One Year Photos at Pennys. It was really hard to get good pictures and by the time it was Logan’s turn for individual shots he was done with the whole thing. If we’d been with a photographer just snapping away we would have had some [...]
What I Learned In the First 6 Months of Motherhood
Ask for help. You don’t have to do it alone, no one expects you to, especially if you have multiples. Let your friends and family know that it’s overwhelming and take whatever help they offer. Or better yet, know exactly what help you need and be specific.

Forest is already walking across the room after only a few weeks of steps, something that took Logan about a month. Of course this walking has Forest skipping his afternoon nap and he kept us (ok…really only [...]
becoming a Queen
My incredibly awesome neighbor bought me a book by another Austinite, Merrit Ingman called “Inconsolable: How I Threw My Mental Health Out With the Diapers.” The book touched on a lot of my own thoughts and feelings about early parenthood. While I still don’t know if my roller coaster of emotions earlier this [...]
Walk This Way, Talk This Way
As of yesterday Logan is walking all over the house. He seems to have really gotten his confidence and is all about his independence. It’s so cute to see him toddling around and his obvious excitement at this newly honed skill. Forest has also made a huge stride and is constantly walking [...]
Weekends
We’ve had some neat weekends with the boys recently. Proving just how “back to the real world” we are getting as they approach a year old. Oh sure we have to be really aware of times and such but it’s getting easier and easier to do the things that us adults enjoy. [...]
