I’m here to solicit the wisdom of my readers. How do you/did you handle Sundays with your baby? I’ve known lots of moms so the whole “Sunday totally throws the baby out of whack” thing hasn’t surprised me. I knew it was coming. But now we are trying to decide how to deal with it. …
Today Caroline is two months old! She had her two month appointment with the doctor and had her first round of shots. She did very well. She cried a bit, but settled down more quickly than I expected. David and I were fine with it even though the nurse warned us that the first ones …
I wrote last year that David and I have a tradition of purchasing ornaments whenever we go on vacation. When we decorate our tree each year, it is a walk down memory lane as we remember different events and locations we’ve visited. Last year we didn’t take a vacation because we bought new carpet for …
Am I the only one feeling this way? I know the official start of winter is still weeks away, but like most folks I think of winter as starting the day after Thanksgiving because that is when we start to decorate for Christmas. This fall has been a bit of a blur in some respects. …
My mom made these smoked turkey rollups with cucumber and cream cheese for us a few times. I finally asked for the recipe so I could make them at home. They are very easy and good for days that need something simple but tasty! I buy the tortillas that are low carb and have lots …
Life has been full here! But, of course, first things first. I took this picture of Caroline this afternoon. That smile just warms the cockles of my heart.

Like any mama, I have pictures to share! Caroline takes her eating and burping very seriously. How does someone so small make sounds that are so big? Caroline really enjoys her swing. In the past week or so she has learned to watch the fish as they go around. All sacked out for some well-deserved …
Caroline was six weeks old on Thursday. According to the pregnancy books, my postpartum period has ended. I’ve experienced a lot during these recent weeks. Of everything I’ve read about the postpartum period, the most helpful article came from the most unexpected place. About two weeks after she was born, I was given a Lamaze …
Yes, my lack of posting and responding to comments lately is definitely Caroline-related. We actually had a good week last week, but I knew I had to take a break from the blogging if I wanted to keep up on life at home. Last week she found her hands and is now putting them in …
Caroline was one month old on Saturday! We celebrated this special day while visiting my parents. We returned yesterday after spending four days with them. It was a much needed time away after being home almost non-stop for the last month. It also gave David and me our first break from 24/7 Caroline care. My …
We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking only to learn that it is God shaking them.
