Easter Weekend

We started off Easter weekend in true Easter weekend form, meaning a big egg hunt.  The local rec center put on a hug egg hunt for kids of all different ages and it was so fun.  Really, at these things I always wonder who is more excited, Jayce or us!We did this last year too, but it was pouring rain so the festivities were moved inside.  It was still a great time, they had little egg obstacle courses set up and various games that...

March Chatter

By titling my post by March but posting it in April, I'm just admitting that I'm a little behind in these funny little sayings of my little guy. But I had to get them down before they slipped away, along with the rest of my memory these days...The pictures are of one of our best ways to make slow days go by a little faster, particularly on the long rainy days when there is no chance of going outside, or on the days when Chris is away and there is...

32 Weeks Along

(Me, in the window, in the nursery, at 30 Weeks.)I wore this dress to church last week and ended up keeping it on all day. It was SO comfy and cute, and was perfect for the breezy but 80+ degree weather that day. However, the "cinched at the top of the bump" look is one that I have just started partaking in, and I had this conversation with literally everyone that I talked to at church that day.Them, looking at my belly: So when are you due again?Me:...

New Cool Spiderman Bike

Some friends emailed last week asking if we would be interested in a brand new Spiderman bike for Jayce. He doesn't have a bike yet, so we were very interested. Jayce was obviously floored, and since the first moment that he laid eyes on it, it has been referred to exclusively and lovingly as "my cool Spiderman bike."We got the bike on a Friday, and unfortunately a huge thunderstorm started immediately after we pulled it out, and kept going Saturday...

New Beds All Around

We have finally made the bedtime transition around here to a big boy bed. I know that a lot of Jayce's friends had already moved into big beds by now, but we waited a little longer because there really wasn't a need for it yet. We were told to move him 1.) if he was being nighttime toilet trained (which he's not), 2.) if he was trying to climb out of the crib (which he never did), or 3.) if there was a new baby on the way who needed the crib. ...

31 Weeks Along

Well, I'm 31 weeks along now, the baby is due in exactly 2 months from today. Wow. A friend just asked me, "You're down to weeks now, right?" and I guess that is true though I hadn't really thought of it that way. Single digit weeks at that, which seems important. :) According to my BabyCenter.com update I have 60 days to go, which seems crazy to me. I haven't really been paying attention to the amount of days until baby. When you first sign...

Crazy Allergies: Sick, Take 100

Well, being healthy was a very short-lived victory that only lasted a few days around here. At my last report, the worst was behind us and we were all on the mend, but in the 2 weeks since that post, Jayce has picked up a sinus infection, and some other infection. Basically, he's healthy for about a week, and then it's downhill from there. At our 5th doctor's visit, we determined that allergies are probably at the root of the problem. Jayce wasn't...
