Zoe at 6 months

4 minute read

Zoe is 6 months old and just shy of delightful! While she still cries, it is a whole lot less than it used to be. We even managed to take her on a road trip to New Jersey to visit Aaron’s extended family! If you noticed the major upgrade in...

4th Wedding Anniversary

less than 1 minute read

It’s been 4 years since Aaron and I got married. In that time we bought a house, got new jobs, had two kids and otherwise stayed exactly the same (I wish!). Even though life isn’t always a picnic, I’m reminded on a daily basis that Aaron is my favorite person...

It’s hard being the second child. Not only does Zoe live with her (well-intentioned) attacker (Max), but her stuff is a little dingier, excitement is a little lower and she has been in public with a onsie that says “Daddy’’s little dude.”

This past month has been a busy one, Aaron was in San Diego for a week, Max had his 3rd birthday party and Zoe had her first road trip, which coincidently was also her last road trip (she screamed the entire time).

Zoe at 3 Months

2 minute read

Zoe cries a lot. She is only happy when she is either being walked around in the baby bjorn carrier, propped up on her feet or held in an incredibly specific position that is near impossible to maintain. I’m literally writing this post as I’m walking her around in the...

5 minute read

I can barely believe our little boy is three years old! He is cautious, sweet, bright, silly and observant. (And occasionally a little monster.) Here’s a snapshot of Max at 3.
