Greta is two months old now so it's definitely time to finally post Greta's newborn photos. I'm sorry it took so long but life is crazy with three, you guys!! Between figuring out meals, carting Owen to and from school, naps, feeding Greta and then feeding her again and again and again, endless loads of laundry and cleaning, I hardly have time for a shower let alone a cup of coffee. Moms of three or more...how do you do it?!?!? I need all the answers. The amazing Yasmin from Coffee ... View the Post
Happy Second Birthday Della!
I blinked and she went from this to this. I remember the day we met her at the birthing center in Korea like it was yesterday. When I look at her baby pictures, I see many expressions that we have come to know and love. Like this little smirk, which is super adorable but almost always means she's up to no good. ;) It seems like she grew up so much faster than Owen. He could only say a handful of words by his second birthday whereas she is speaking complete sentences with ... View the Post
Thorwback: Christmas 2017
Yes, I realize it's April. I just can't bring myself to skip over Christmas and Della's birthday (which I'll write about later) just because it has long since come and gone. This blog is first and foremost about our adventures and these are moments I want documented in this little corner of the world wide web. It was our last Christmas as a family of four! I say this every year but it was by far my most favorite one yet. Christmas in the desert is a totally different experience. The ... View the Post
Greta’s Birth Story | February 9, 2018
Everyone, meet Greta Rae. Greta, meet everyone. I'm going to jump ahead of Christmas and Della's 2nd birthday to tell Greta's birth story simply because it has already been two weeks and I want to get this written while every detail is still fresh in my mind. Life with three little ones leaves me a little forgetful these days. I'll go back and play catch-up later. Let me start off by saying the third trimester of this pregnancy was the easiest one of all three. I had zero aches and ... View the Post
What’s in my hospital bag
I am 38 weeks pregnant and have been going to the doctor weekly...for no particular reason. I'm not really sure why they have me come back weekly, I'm feeling awesome and baby is doing great. I basically just sit and wait for 20+ minutes while trying to keep Della from licking the floor for someone to tell me I'm doing great. No one has mentioned the i-word (induction) fortunately and I'm grateful my doctors are willing to work with me and my preferences for the birth. I am very excited to meet ... View the Post
Owen’s Big Boy Room Tour!
Before we even moved into this house, I was determined to have a designated playroom for the kids. I cannot stand toys having a permanent home out in our living space so while we were in Korea they were all crammed into Owen's tiny room, stuffed into baskets and shoved in the closet. Long story short, we ended up renting this house sight unseen while I was on a layover in Japan with the kids and Alex was in Alaska. It was about to get rented by a group of young pilots and we'd already had ... View the Post
