It was so nice to have a lot of down-time at home. Although we didn’t have many plans, it quickly turned into a busy weekend. Back up to last week – Emerson did the rapid results swimming lessons all week and she LOVED it. And I loved staying dry and watching the expert work with her. She put her head under the water for the first time and seemed really comfortable in the water. Em was kinda off all week…
We’ve had all the visitors in town these past two weeks. Matt’s parents were here last weekend, and although we had gross rain, we had a great time lounging and eating and catching up. Emerson adores her grandparents and even got to spend an evening with them while Matt and I had an awesome date night at Haberdish. This weekend, Kath and her two boys came down from Charlottesville, and my parents came up on their way home from a…
Happy Valentine’s and Galantine’s my friends (although judging from the comments on my last post, some of you are definitely not my friends…joking, kind of). -I’m pro-Valentine’s because February is a dreary month and it gives us an excuse to eat some kind of dessert and be extra gushy. Matt’s traveling today, but we enjoyed a date night this past weekend at Haymaker and called that our celebration. I also snuck some treats in Matt’s work bag. -Emerson was sick…
The last time I wrote one of these posts, my routine was a bit different. I’m out and about so much more than when I lived in NY. I love the variety of my days now, but man do they leave me exhausted at the end! I wouldn’t change a thing though. 7:50am – I hear Emerson yelling “Mom, go downstairs” from her crib. I’ve been trying to set an alarm and get up before Em more often, but Matt…
Hello. I feel like I have so much to tell you all because there are so many new things/routines/experiences in my life right now. Emerson has been so excited about preschool and the teacher says she is a model student:) However, she’s been throwing irrational fits, crying, and having a really hard time time with naps as soon as she is back in my care. I think she’s just exhausted from being on and engaging in activity for 3 hours…
Can you believe it’s a new year? The weather down here is throwing me off and I keep forgetting it’s January. We had a week of dreary rain and our yard keeps getting worse: The beautiful new sod that was here when we saw the house is all gone, and sadly we’re going to have to put in all new grass and install french drains to deal with the flooding. But, after the week of rain, we had the most…
Hello out there! Are you guys tired from the holidays? I sure am! We packed our bags yet again and headed to Hillsborough for Christmas. It was actually good to get out of our house because we were forced to take a break from the never-ending to-do list that came with moving into our house. My sister’s fam came down from Charlottesville and I got to meet baby Birch! Gosh he was tiny and very cute! Emerson got along great…
