Last week, we had the pleasure of spending time with our family in South Carolina. While the travel there makes for a long day, it was sure worth it to see everyone for a few days! This was our first time purchasing a seat for Beatrice on the plane. She did a great job despite [...]

May 16, 2012We Got a Dog!
April 10, 2012Meet Biscuit: he’s a sparkly orange dachshund who loves playing in a measuring cup, sitting on the ottoman, and running around in Beatrice’s hand. He is the perfect pet for us: A couple of months ago, Beatrice received some pencils from a friend. These are proper pencils which require a pencil sharpener to make them [...]
The New Normal
February 27, 2012Well, it’s been four weeks of family time and we have loved every minute of it, but today is the day for Jonathan to go back to work. It is with mixed feelings that we approach this week. I’m nervous about being at home with two little ones all day and excited for us to [...]
Beatrice-isms
February 23, 2012Beatrice has always been exceptionally verbal for her age, which is to our great advantage when trying to keep her happy. There are often things she says that are just so cute or funny, I want to bottle them up forever! Here are some of her latest comments that I want to record: K: Beatrice, [...]
Meat Stuffed with Cheese: Valentine’s Day 2012
February 19, 2012We have a Valentine’s Day tradition around here: molten cheese. In the last couple of years, this has manifested itself in the form of cheese fondue and we have enjoyed that tremendously. This year, we opted to do something a little different because chances were pretty high that one of us would be holding a [...]
Family of Four: The First Two Weeks
February 17, 2012Well, we’ve been home together for two weeks now and it’s been a joyous, fun, challenging time. My Mom stayed with Beatrice while we were in the hospital and also stayed with us the first couple of days, which was great. I have a tendency to just jump back into things without allowing myself to [...]

We are absolutely overjoyed to have him with us! Beatrice is a great big sister and we’re enjoying these first days as a family of four.
Family Fun Day
January 22, 2012The snow has melted and while it was beautiful, staying inside for the better part of four days with a toddler while I have a head cold wasn’t something I’d planned for the last weeks prior to the arrival of our sweet second-born. It did, however, mean that Jonathan was working from home for the [...]
Snow!
January 17, 2012We have been reading books about snow, snowmen, snow angels, and snowplows with Beatrice and she still hadn’t seen snow (that she could remember). This weekend though, all of that changed! We had quite a good snowfall Sunday afternoon. Here are some photos of our fun in the snowy weather: She liked being out in [...]
21 Months
January 8, 2012This is a bit late, primarily because Beatrice won’t sit still long enough to take “official” 21 months photos, but I wanted to document a few things about her life these days. What has happened in the last few months? Well sweet girl: You got your first hair cut and it wasn’t terrible! I will [...]
