First of all, let me start by saying: I’m so sorry for slacking! I literally turned around and nearly a month is gone since our last belly post and Week 18 is still on the chalkboard (for the last evening, I promise!). I honestly don’t know where this weeks have gone. There’s been so much …
This year Dan had the opportunity to create an after-school program for boys in grades 1-5 at the Junior School, with the help of Nick Hammon. These guys have done an amazing job with these handful of boys who have joined the running program. Getting together once a week after school to do team building …
The weekend was very busy. We purchased a shed for our backyard, and thank goodness we had Dad to help put it together. That was a full day and a half of work, but the guys did a great job! In other news, I came home to a few delivery boxes this week – the …
Oh, what a week(end) we’ve had! We had an amazing anatomy ultrasound on Saturday and at first thought we may not be able to tell for sure who was in there because the cord was in the way. But, with a few giggles to get baby moving, we saw HIM – It’s a BOY! Once …
Can you even believe it? We’ve entered month 5 (week 17)! We (Dan and I) cannot. It’s unbelievable how time is flying. I remember thinking in January “it will be forever before March is here” and here we are half way though April, Easter around the corner, and 2 weeks away from being at the …
The chalkboard has finally made it’s appearance and I was quick to get it on the wall. Here’s some shots from week 16’s little notes: And the first belly picture with the weekly post… I’m so excited to keep using this to track Baby Stern’s progress for the week(s) and be able to share development …
I can’t believe that today marks Week 16 for Baby Stern. Time is flying by! I am reminded every day when I wake up, and this belly seems to be growing by the day, of this amazing gift from God that we are preparing to receive. It’s just amazing to me how in a little …
We decided last week, spur of the moment, that we needed to get away. We had a bit of the “winter blues” which I think we’re all suffering from. We packed up the car and headed to MD/VA for some antique exploring, or “pickin” as we’d call it. I definitely wouldn’t call us the next …
I finally got around to purchasing a mirror and working on creating a chalkboard to document baby Stern’s progress. I didn’t have any luck, I think all the DIY spirits were working against me. The paint streaked and created lines on the first coat; I tried a different brush on the second coat, which seemed …
So lately everything has me a sappy mess. Whether I’m watching Puppies 101 or the Zillow commercial where the family’s buying a house and dad comes home from war. But I have to tell you, watching this 3 minute video really made me smile and cry. Take a gander. But I warn you, you made …
