Our Christmas Tree!I had a lot of fun one night with the lights and my camera. I tried making all the lights heart-shaped, but this is the result I got. I'll have to try it again, but I kinda like this. Playing under the Christmas treeNope. ...
One of the things about becoming a mother that I always looked forward to was getting my child's first Christmas ornament. I spent too much money, but think I found the perfect ornament: it's cute, it's sturdy, and it's personalized with Jed's...
My Handsome Cowboy and Me Jed and I began last week with a nasty flu/cold bug. If there’s anything worse than being sick, it’s being sick and trying to be a mother at the same time. Bron came to the rescue on Monday afternoon though—just after finishing...
While Bron is studying for finals, Jed is studying his pincer grip. We all cheer when he actually gets something into his mouth because more often than not, it gets lost along the way. Boy, I love this kid!&nbs...
One of my biggest fears about becoming a stay-at-home mother was that I would be bored out of my mind, especially during the nasty winter months. Perhaps I’ve become accustomed to the slower pace of home life. Maybe it’s the busy Holiday season. But...
Jed helped me wrap presents. He got to eat the scraps. Our home has that special Christmas feeling! There are presents underneath the tree and I am sooo excited! Funny thing is, only one of them is for me. I went shopping one afternoon last...

Jed has a sense of humor! Watching Jed laugh makes us laugh! I know his grandparents will appreciate thi...
Happy First Thanksgiving, Bud! Happy Thanksgiving! I live a life so rich in blessings that I couldn’t possibly list or count them all. I am as content and happy as I will ever be, I think. And for that, I am very grateful. First, I need to give a shout-out...
Our Nation's Capitol Since Bron had the weekend off, we wanted to take the opportunity to explore more parts of the East Coast. We decided upon our nation’s capitol, Washington D.C. We arrived at the Hilton (Yes, Bron got us a room at the Hilton! Quite...
View of Hershey, Pennsylvania Jed is exceptionally well traveled for such a little kid. He’s been entirely across New York State, and has visited Vermont, Montreal, and Quebec City. This last week we added Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland,...
We're visiting Pennsylvania this week. So far, Jed's favorite thing has been his giant bubble baths. Living in the lap of luxury, Ba...

Jed thought it was hilarious to sit on Dad's shoulders and soak his hair with slobber.I thought it was hilarious too. Bron was just being a good sport, but I think he liked it. P.S. It is really HARD to get a good shot without the flash...
Ready for work in my new insulated (very important) coveralls before their maiden voyage to the barn. Folks often ask how I like my new job. My response: I actually really enjoy it! There’s just something very gratifying about physically working—using...
3 Delicious Apple Pies The only semi-interesting thing I did over the Halloween weekend was make my very first apple pie. I guess my weekend really started Thursday when Bron left to go to a conference. It was just the baby and me for three...
