Just a quick update of our latest fun times in Austin… Owen loves helping me on the computer. Owen’s new apron for crafts and gardening. Looks like a Home Depot dude. 🙂 We got the wonderful opportunity to go the Oasis Restaurant on Lake Travis with some friends from our small group back in Chicago […]
We’re in Austin!
Getting here wasn’t pretty, but we’ve finally transplanted to Texas! I can’t bare to think of all the people I miss, but I do love this town and am eager to make friends. In the mean time, Owen and I have found a new favorite pastime… SWIMMING! This little boy cannot contain his joy while […]

Book Review: Give Them Grace, Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus
I’ve read a lot of parenting books in the last year. The clear standout is the new book by Elyse Fitzpatrick: Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus. The basic premise is that our parenting needs to be saturated with the gospel. If we say that The Gospel is central to […]
Tricycle, Tricycle, go so fast!
We were blessed to be able to buy Loopy something we’ve been wanting to get him for a long time. A tricycle with a push bar for our poor aching backs and foot rests for him until his legs get longer and he can do it on his own. It’s so nice to get out […]
The Wonderful World of Glow Sticks
It seems that Loopy gets new toys when his mommy is getting bored of the same old same old. So off to the dollar store we went. When I found these… I knew we’d struck gold. As soon as we got home, I grabbed our old Easter eggs, cracked those sticks and stuffed them in. […]

Loopy’s Birth Story
(Written in Feb. 2011) It’s been a week since Loopy was born and I finally have found some time to get the events down on paper. I did not picture his birth going down the way it did, but the end result was still a wonderful healthy baby boy that is one of the greatest blessings […]

I love babywearing. It was one of the things about taking care of a baby that I was most excited about during pregnancy. I didn’t know much about it while I was still pregnant. So when I saw a “Baby Bjorn” at a garage sale, I hopped on it. I never even put Loopy in […]
Water Bead Exploration
I’ve been seeing these awesome colored beads all over pinterest. I thought they would be a lot of fun to play with either as a sensory experience or coupled with a light table. I found these in the floral section at Walmart for $2 a pack. I barely used a third of them, and look […]
