just our day to day life
A little over a week ago, we welcomed Marlowe Belle to the world. She was born on December 29, 2015, weighed 8 lbs., 6 oz., and was 20.5 inches long. She’s a sweet and snuggly baby and we are all happy and healthy. Jenson is …
The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we had our nephews baptism to attend. The timing was going to be wonky for Jenson’s nap, so we elected to skip mass in favor of making the drive later, so that Jenson would sleep on the way for an early …
