My mom told me the pictures of Autumn sleeping in the bassinet looked bad!! Thanks, mom! She asked why Autumn’s mouth was open like she was mouth breathing. Well, it turns out that she has the nasty cold that Nathan and I have… so, that is why my beautiful girl looks sick in those bassinet… >> View Post
Nathan’s snow truck
Nathan and I are still getting over our nasty colds. I have had this cold since last Sunday! Anyway, my mom has watched Nathan at her house the last few days so I can have some alone time with Autumn before I go back to work. My mom felt bad for Nathan because he can’t… >> View Post
Sleeping beauty
I took gobs of pictures of Nathan as a newborn, but not once did I snap a picture of him asleep in the bassinet in the early months. I have tons of pictures of him asleep in his crib and big boy bed, though. So, tonight, I took a couple of pictures of Autumn in… >> View Post
Now Nathan is sick……
Nathan woke up with my cold this morning… I felt so bad for him. He kept telling me he was not sick. He ate a hearty breakfast of oatmeal, then wanted two waffles an hour after that… then some Ritz crackers. So, at least he is eating!!! His nose is a faucet so I gave… >> View Post
First snow
Today was the first heavy snowfall in Saint Louis and also Autumn’s first snow day. My parents have been coming over on Mondays and Tuesdays to help me out while I’ve been on maternity leave but they couldn’t make it today because of the weather. This was my second day alone with both kids and… >> View Post
Feeling under the weather
Yesterday after we got back from doing the kids pictures, my nose started to run. Then, later in the day my throat started to hurt. Bleh! I just hate being sick. This is the second time I’ve been sick on my maternity leave, what a bummer. The ironic thing is that this week I am… >> View Post
Belated Christmas pictures
Before Autumn was born on November 21st, I had already purchased her Christmas dress at Gymboree. I love that store, they have the cutest childrens clothing. I even got a coordinating sweater for Nathan to wear for their Christmas pictures. Well, she was born and Christmas had come and gone and we never made it… >> View Post
That is some loooong hair
Today was the first time I spent an entire day alone with just Nathan and Autumn. Usually my mom is over here helping me, or Nathan is at her house, or Jeremi is here with us. I have always spent a few hours alone with them each day, but never 8+ hours! Wow, all I… >> View Post
Autumn’s first photo session
The Picture People have a Valentine’s special going on right now where you get 1 8×10 and 12 Valentine cards for $12. This is a total steal figuring their smallest package is $200ish or if you buy the photos individually its $18 per sheet. :O I went in thinking I’d only spend $12, but… Autumn… >> View Post

They are handing these freebies out from Jan. 20-26th or until they run out. Only one freebie per person. Obviously they will run out soon.. today… >> View Post
Taking Autumn to work to show her off AND using leftover homemade playdough
Today I took Autumn to my work to show her off to my coworkers. I haven’t seen any of them since Nov. 19th on my last day of work before my maternity leave!! I go back to work Feb. 12th and thought it’d be a good time to bring her up and to revisit. I… >> View Post
Patty Cakes Craft – Part 1
Today we worked on pattycakes. These are handprints made with dried homemade play dough that is flattened out. My brother and I made these when we were little with our mom’s help. I still have mine and will share a picture of it next week after we paint Nathan’s and Autumn’s. ____________________________________________________________ We had a… >> View Post
