Evie’s Birth Story
Another friend of mine just wrote up her new little baby’s birth story and it reminded me that I never wrote up Evie’s story yet. Better late than never!
Evie’s birth was actually very, very similar to my birth with Kaelyn. My pregnancy with Evie was pretty much the same too except [...]
Our Girls
So this post might be a little lengthy since I have failed to update for the past couple of months. Things have been crazy busy around here.

Evie
==========
Baby Evie is almost 4 months old already!! She is a little mover and shaker. She is so curious about everything and always so [...]
A Naming Story
We have had a difficult time choosing a name for baby girl #2. In the beginning we just couldn’t seem to agree on any names. Finally we narrowed the list down to two names – one was Matt’s favorite and one was my favorite. How would we ever decide? We took [...]
Seriously Outnumbered
That’s what Matt is now that he is going to have a house with three girls! Me, Kaelyn, and our yet-to-be-named baby
GIRL!!!!
I’ve neglected to post much lately, especially about the fact that we are having another baby, but I figured most of our readers knew about that already. We had our ultrasound today [...]
Kaelyn Updates
Seems this has been an exciting week for Kaelyn (and us). Here’s a list of new things she’s started doing recently…
SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! – I didn’t want to get my hopes up right away, but after the most difficult week of my life of CIO (crying it out, for all the non-parents out [...]
Nine Months
Kaelyn is nine months old today. That means she has been out almost as long as she was in! Here’s a few new things she is up to…
She is crawling all over the place now. She has adopted the “army style” crawl for now.
She pulls up on things sometimes as [...]
Catching up
I realize it has been a while since I wrote a blog with Kaelyn updates. Seems our life stays pretty busy these days. I’m sure she is doing lots of new things since my last post, but it’s hard for me to remember them all. I’ll try to list a few…
She has [...]
A few quick thoughts
Kaelyn’s new accomplishments the past few days:
rolling over from back to tummy (now she can roll both directions!)
picking up her legs in a walking fashion when you hold her arms so she can “walk” around
saying the “ma ma” sound frequently (gah! – it melts my heart)
She hasn’t been eating her solids this week. [...]
Zippity Do Da
One thing Matt and I have learned is that Kaelyn will eat her solid foods better when you get her attention by singing lots of songs. I have remembered so many childhood songs that have been buried in the back corners of my mind such as “Zippity Do Da” and Matt thinks of songs [...]
A Note For The 30-Something in the House
Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!!
I’m Still Here
I heard there was a request out for me to post a blog, so here it is! My life pretty much revolves around Kaelyn these days, hence the lack of time for blogging. Kaelyn is about 4.5 months old now and is growing and changing everyday. Matt has been posting some of [...]
Two Months
Our little love bug is now two months old and growing like a weed! It has been so much fun this past month watching her little personality really start to shine through. She loves to be talked to and sung to. She will just laugh and smile and “talk” along with you. [...]
Sacha Designs
This is a shout out to my friend, Sam, who owns Sacha Designs. Sam designed our birth announcements and she did a great job! If anyone is looking for some design work I’d highly recommend Sam’s work. She can do pretty much anything – websites, holiday cards, wedding invitations, birth announcements, and [...]
One Month
Man oh man, I can’t believe our little girl is one month old already! It seemed like she would never arrive and now it’s already been a month. It actually kind of feels like it has been one giant day for me. I must say that she gets cuter [...]
A Proper Introduction
I can hardly believe that Kaelyn is already 2 weeks old as of today! Life with a newborn is incredibly wonderful and busy, which is the reason we haven’t had a chance to write a detailed post yet about the newest member of our family. Usually when she naps I try to do [...]
Patience Is A Virtue
That’s what Matt used to tell me all the time. He doesn’t say it to me anymore, so maybe I’ve become a more patient person in the 5+ years that we’ve been married. But let me tell you one thing that will make all patience you have fly out the window…telling a pregnant [...]
No News Yet
Just wanted to post an update for all those that are wondering. There’s still no news in the baby department. I feel like I’ve been about to go stir crazy the past few days. We have everything as ready to go as possible so I’ve just been sitting and waiting. I [...]
The LA Times, Edition 7
The biggest thing that has been going on the past couple of weeks is Matt’s Mom (a.k.a. Nana) has been visiting us for about the past week. She came down to help us get everything ready for Kaelyn’s arrival. Nana has been cooking lots of meals to freeze and cleaning our house for [...]
The LA Times, Edition 6
The “Miller Inn” was open for business again the past few days. We’ve been open a lot this summer, wahoo! This time our guest was our friend Ben from Illinois.
We kept busy during Ben’s time here with stuff like frisbee golf, ultimate, tennis, swimming, playing games, going to the movies, grilling [...]
