Baby Wyatt

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

My sister-in-law, Tina, gave birth to a baby boy on June 30th. She and my brother, Jonathan, named him Wyatt Allen. Wyatt weighed 7lbs. and 10 oz, and was 21 inches long. Isn’t he absolutely adorable?! It was such a bless­ing to be at the hos­pi­tal with Jonathan and Tina and share in the mir­a­cle of baby […]

We fed Cora rice cereal for the first time today! Matt and I have been itch­ing to do so for weeks and weeks now. We had already set up her high chair, bought the rice cereal and a super cute bib, picked out spoons, bowls, and even a travel meal dish set (can you tell we are excited?!) […]

Toys for Cora

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

When I was a lit­tle girl, my mom made me a doll… from scratch. She had brown yarn for hair, hand-made clothes… a mauve col­ored dress with small flow­ers, embroi­dered face details, every­thing so detailed, so intri­cately made just for me. I loved it to pieces… really. It ended up thrashed by the time I out­grew toys. I loved a lot of things […]
