A Happy 1 Month Birthday To You, Bryn
And then there were two. Daughters. Or three. Women under our roof. Or four. If you count one of the cats. On March 27th at 8:44 pm, we welcomed 8lbs 3oz, 20.5” Bryn Sybil to the world. While the birth process was relatively tame compared to that of Mia, this little one really wanted to come into the world upside down so we endured…

Mia, 1.75 Years
Travel, the outdoors, potty, attitude, friends, and surgery, oh my! Over the holiday season grandma paid us an extended visit and we also flew to NC to spend Christmas with my family.

Let me tell you the reasons: Unless you book a campsite six months out in the PNW, you’re stuck with some pretty bad campgrounds. Memaloose State Park, sandwiched between railroad tracks and an interstate (LOUD, and nowhere to even walk), and designed to be a…

Mia, 1 Year
We all made it and Mia’s grandparents were able to visit and meet her for the first time. What a blast! New this month is standing all the time, getting super chatty and interactive, eating corn on the cob (Mom’s favorite), a little bit more napping on us (Dad’s favorite), and my Dad says he saw her take her first steps, but nobody else…
