    Cardboard Box Lessons

    Landon was taking his nap this afternoon while Riley and I had some play time together. There are a few empty boxes in the living room from recently shipped Christmas presents that both boys have been having a grand time playing with – one is large enough for Landon to fully fit in with the…

    Everyday Life

    We’ve started setting up for Halloween! We spent last weekend getting the homemade scarecrow out and put up. We had to dig around to find some of the parts after the move. Landon was super excited. He was also a great helper! After that Brad mowed the lawn. Landon has a bubble mower and loves…

    Everyday Life

    The last two weekends we’ve gone out to 2 different public events in our area. Some Saturdays we just stay home and lounge around the house. Brad and I love that. Landon doesn’t do too well with that. He gets too stir crazy (read: get’s into trouble) unless we’re home with some major plans of…

    Doctor Appointment Entertainment

    Sadly I was in urgent care today. Riley’s had a bad cough from a cold that’s only getting worse. Since moving we haven’t been to a new urgent care facility, luckily (sort of) there’s one just around the corner from us. It’s part of Enloe Hospital’s “prompt” (that’s a joke) care facilities. As you may have guess…

  • Ball Themed Birthday Party

    Ball Themed Birthday Party

    Riley turned 1 – in case you didn’t catch the last post about it {here}. He loves balls. He’s pretty much obsessed with them. When he first learned to crawl he would chase balls around the house bat at it, crawl after it then bat it again to go chase it some more. It’s a…

  • Happy Birthday Riley

    Happy Birthday Riley

    One year ago today Riley came into our lives. It has been such a crazy year with job changes for both Brad and I and moving. It’s funny how they say the time with the second goes by so fast. It has. Really fast. Life with the 3 year old and 1 year old is…

  • Standing!

    Standing!

    Yesterday Riley started standing on his own for a few seconds at a time. I’m sure now it won’t be long before he’s running all over the place. We’ve been trying to get him used to shoes and socks for when the inevitable happens – he’s not liking that plan. He pretty much sits and tugs on…

  • On staying at home {at least for a little while}

    *Check out my update here* Today is a strange day for me. My facebook news feed is full of updates on all my former colleague’s first day’s back at school. I’m closely watching the updates from the Kindergarten class and the wonderful teacher that took my place when I left to stay home with the…

  • Walkin’ – Almost

    Walkin’ – Almost

    Riley has been cruising so much lately! He’s pulling up on everything and walking when he can hold on to the couch table or a walking toy!

  • What a mess!

    Riley has always been mister independent when it comes to eating. He wouldn’t even eat solids when we first started him until we realized he just wanted to shove the food in his mouth by himself. Then he didn’t stop eating. He often eats more than Landon. The last few weeks he’s been fine with…
