Kaitlyn’s on the move this week perfecting her crawl. She started out rocking back and forth on all fours, and she now varies between a breaststroke movement to using her feet to push her forward motion. Here are Kaitlyn and Ava lounging in the backyard. Ava in our backyard looking up at the trees. Many … Continue reading
I’ve owned a digital camera for over a year, and I still use the auto focus settings. Sad, I know. But now that I have 2 little girls in my life, I’m in search of a better clearer photo to capture these precious moments. Today, I’m embarking on the 31 Days to a Better Photo … Continue reading
Our dog Miles is our first child. So, when we brought Kaitlyn and Ava home from the hospital, we wanted his transition to be smooth. Now he recognizes the girls as part of our “pack”.

The girls spent the day swimming at Pop and Gram’s house. Here they are drying off before going down for their afternoon nap. Ava, left, and Kaitlyn.
We’re taking our girls’ first road trip today. Packing for 2 has morphed to packing for 4. Most of the time I like Kaitlyn and Ava to “coordinate”, not “match”. To simplify mornings, I sorted each girls’ outfits, along with matching bows, stored them in a ziploc bag, and labeled each bag by day. This … Continue reading
Cooking, or should I say, mushing your own baby food is a cinch. Now that I’m working part-time, I need to save cents and dollars wherever I can. To get started, all you need is a steamer, blender/food processor, and ice cube trays. For this first-time baby food maker, steamed carrots was definitely a wise … Continue reading
