The past five weeks have been nothing short of vast sweetness. They have been filled with change, sweetness, baby snuggles, watching my baby girl become a big sister and my husband fall in love with our son. It’s been a change, it’s been different but it’s been so good. Welcoming B at the…
Dear B, It feels like it was just weeks ago that I came out of the bathroom and told your daddy that another babe would be coming and he stood there elated with tear filled eyes. Now tomorrow we will rise before the sun, load into the car while your big sister sleeps, and drive…
We wanted to make sure A got to do a few extra fun things before life gets a bit different around here once B arrives. Since last weekend was the final weekend as our family of three we made a weekend of it. On Friday, we had our usual grocery store run but stopped for…
Ryan and I have talked many times about wanting to make the transition for A to be a smooth one when B arrives at the end of next week. The last thing we want is the major shock factor to happen or for her to have any negative associations with the new baby. I have…
With B arriving next week we squeezed in a maternity session with Verte Photography last week and I’m so glad that we did! I haven’t been the best at “bump photos” this pregnancy, so getting a few great shots from Candy was a great thing to get done. The weather wasn’t necessarily in our favor…

Mother’s Day was lovely! We woke up to 8″ of snow but the inside of our home was cozy and bright. I was greeted with a beautiful bouquet of persimmon colored lilies and roses. Ryan made breakfast and A gave me the new garden stone her and her daddy made me as a special project,…
Its been a year since I made my way to Kansas along with A to spend my great-grandmother’s last moments with her. It’s been a month now since we went back to celebrate her life on her birthday weekend with a first ever family reunion. The one thing she asked for before she left us….
Recently, my mom invited us up to Longmont where they live for a picnic and evening at the park. When I moved out here over 8.5 years ago, I never thought they would end up here and then a few years after me, my stepdad got a job here and out they came too. Being 45…
