Weekend Away

4th of July weekend was wonderful! We spent 4 days in Delaware doing all the summer things: playing at the park, grilling out, visiting family, swimming, fireworks, and watching lots of little cousins playing together. Behn and I got to sleep in a couple of times and as always, it's great having extra eyes and hands on the kids. We even got to see the Donut Man one night! (Who's the Donut Man? See popular 90's Christian VHS tapes at your local church library). He played a sweet little show at Behn's childhood campground and we took all the littles. It was a pretty great trip.

So much cute! This is only 1/2 of the grandbabies!

Ice Cream- classic summertime


My 2 little fishies loved swimming. Actually so did I! I totally went all out with the cannonballs.


I want to say thank you to our family for making the weekend so fun! Glad for the boys to have such sweet memories. 

Now home and back to routine and the ups and downs. We enjoyed dinner at my parents' house last night. I'm glad they are close by :) Mom and I are going flea marketing tomorrow in attempt to repurpose some stuff and spruce up the guest bathroom/bedroom. I'll document the journey and post soon!

Currently (what's up right now)

Ok, few dear readers, I haven't heard from you much lately. Which I get...because sometimes this blog is kind of BOOOORRRRING! So, just for fun, here's what is going on currently: Currently Watching: Downton Abbey , like the rest of the world. The heard the season finale on Sunday is 'devastating.' How can anything be more devastating than episode 4?? Downton , I warn you, if you are disappointing or break my heart, I will leave you.           I also dabble in Parks and Rec and Parenthood , with a side of The Bachelor . Currently Sweating: me, on the treadmill in the basement. This, with the combination of cutting out sodas and some snacks, means that the jeans that were very  tight when I first had Patrick are now comfortably baggy. YES! I still have work to do, but am feeling better about myself. Currently Reading: 7  by Jen Hatmaker You guys, I love this book.  "A mutiny against excess." Jen Hatmaker journals through seven months of givin

Patrick Wilford is Here!

Image
Both of my boys (what, I have 2 boys?) are napping right now, so it's time to update this blog with Patrick's birth story before I forget the details. Words to describe Patrick's birth: terrifying. fast. wonderful. merciful. unforgettable. We'll start with Friday, September 7th. I had my 39 week OB appointment and was 2 cm dilated and 75% effaced. Promising, but no guarantee I'd go into labor too soon. However, I did go ahead and schedule an elective induction for the following Tuesday (the 11th) because I liked the idea of knowing I'd make it to the hospital, plus my favorite doctor was on call that day, plus Behn had that whole week off of work so I knew he'd be there for everything. So it just made sense, even though I did want to try to have another natural childbirth. On Saturday (the 8th), I was excited because I knew there was a coldfront coming in. I was so ready for cool, unhumid air, but also was hopeful the change in the air pressure would c

Why, Yes, We Do Cloth Diaper

Image
Ahhhh naptime. I should be digging a flower bed, cleaning my kitchen, and writing a grocery list. Instead I will blog. Recently someone saw G's cloth diaper peaking out from his pants and skeptically asked if we cloth diaper. My response, with a smile, is of course yes. We've been cloth diapering Graham for more than a year now. When I was pregnant with him, I was brainstorming ways to save money and decided that if I was going to be home with him, I may as well take the plunge and cloth diaper. When I first heard about the cloth diaper trend, I laughed. That was years ago, before I was pregnant or had kids. I just thought it was a hippy trend and lots of extra work. And here I am doing it! Cloth diapering works for us. I know it's not for everyone, and I don't push it on my mom friends (very few of whom are CD'ing). When my friend asked me about it recently she immediately went into full-on defensive 'why we don't cloth diaper and I'm not c
