Jenson update: 2.75 years

Jenson is nearing 3 and I can’t believe it.  He’s turned into a little boy in the last few months.  I look at pictures from earlier in the year and can’t believe how much he’s changed!  He doesn’t look like a toddler anymore – he’s

Marlowe update: 7 months old

Our July was SO busy that it kind of just flew by.  Marlowe accomplished a lot in that time period though, with the biggest being that she learned to sit up!  She went from being able to sit for 2-3 seconds, to being able to

I Love Lemon Noosa Yoghurt

If you’ve never tried Noosa yoghurt, I understand.  It’s expensive, and obviously pretentious because it’s not spelled yogurt (actually, it’s because it’s Australian-style).  But it is soooo good.  I think it typically runs around $2.59 per single serving container, but I NEVER buy it unless

Marlowe update: 5 months old

Marlowe is 5 months old!  This month was a little rough with her still.  The biggest change is that we got her on Zantac, and as much as she hates taking it, it seems to be helping.  She isn’t fussy all day long like she

From the mouth of Jenson: February 2016

When Jenson really started talking, he was constantly cracking us up with things he would say, or surprising us with his verbal skillz.  I bought this wall calendar that has blank lines on the top page, and the calendar at the bottom and hung it 

It takes a village…

It takes a village…

One of the more common quotes you hear about parenthood is “it takes a village”.  So what happens when you don’t have such a village – at least not one nearby?  People who can watch the kids while you get a haircut or go to
