Izzy’s 4th Christmas has come and gone. This year she really understood what was happening. She was very excited for every present (I think her Tijanna dress was her favorite, she hasn’t taken it off yet), very excited for Jesus’s birthday (she made him a cake and she actually cracked Read more…
Last weekend, on 12/11, Izzy and I went on a date. She was supposed to go with Uncle Paul, but he wasn’t feeling good, so I took her. We got all dressed up, and had a great time. Izzy got out of the car and said “this is going to Read more…
It’s a week since Thanksgiving, but Joe and Izzy have had a big week. We were able to return, after a year haitus, to Uncle Brian’s in Fredericksburg, VA, bookended by spending a few days in New Bern and the kids spending a few days after in Thomasville. At Uncle Read more…
I say this a lot – but it’s been too long since the last update. It’s also been a rough week for Joe, but the tough guy just keeps bouncing back. Yesterday – Izzy was swinging on our tree swing in the backyard (reminder – this is a pretty big Read more…
Izzy’s 4th Halloween has come and gone. This one was the funnest with the kids by far. Izzy decided that our family was going to be Winnie the Pooh characters, and she picked the characters for us. She deemed herself Piglet, Joe was Pooh, I was Tigger, and Mommy was Read more…

Yesterday morning, while sitting in Joe’s room after he just woke up, I was looking at my phone and got whacked by a plastic golf club to the side of the face. Proceeded to get laughed at by Joe as well. O lord, here we go… The trampoline continues to Read more…
Where do I start. Maybe with that I feel awful today, something I blame on Izzy, which likely she got in dance class (she learned a move called the “butterfly” this week), which I signed her up for. Joe has it too. Luckily, Izzy’s covid test was negative, so that’s Read more…
I need to start writing more frequently, so much is changing so fast. Izzy has gone to new heights. She now hides things in her diapers/pull ups. I was changing her swim diaper, and a battery fell out. Then the next day, she decided to hide Joe’s cars in her Read more…
Izzy and Joe have started a new game – jumping from the coffee table to the couch. They will do this repetitively like they are going down the waterslide at the pool. For Joe, it’s more like a face plant, but was quite scary at first to Anna and I. Read more…
