Stand and Deliver
When we got to Grandma’s for the holidays, she had a big surprise for Phil in the form of a table he could stand at to play with his toys. Little boy was all over it for the entire 2.5 weeks we were there. This week was back to the grind in the home office.…

Time for a Thrift Store Photo Extravaganza!
Josh and I found ourselves at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store in Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the holidays. I seriously can’t believe all the good stuff we saw! I’m a big-time browser, so none of this actually came home with me… I just wanted to preserve the magic and share some of it with y’all!…

mmmmm… NO!
Phil’s new favorite thing to say is “mmmmmm… NO!” He’s been using this phrase pretty much non-stop since he learned it last weekend. We’ll be driving around in the car, and he’s just hanging out in the car seat chanting “mmmm… NO! mmmmm…. NO! mmmmm…. NO!” It took me a while to realize where he…

On the Road for a New Mex Xmas!
We hit the bricks for Christmas in Las Cruces, New Mexico with Josh’s mom Carole this week. And let me tell you this – if we’re flying somewhere, Josh and I pack light thanks to the airlines and their $25 a bag charges. But driving? Forget about it. That’s a whole other story. Road-tripping for us involves hours upon hours…

A Little Light Reading for Our 15 Month Old
I turn around from my work and Phil is sitting on the floor, paging through an old copy of Ramona Forever that I’ve got. The he crawls into my lap, and makes me read the first couple pages. I’m about to bawl from the sentimental cuteness.

Billy Bonka’s Hot Dog Factory
I was talking to my brother Brandon last weekend, and something came up about the smokestacks you can see from Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. He told me when he was little, he always thought it was a hot dog factory. And he decided as a kid that it must’ve been owned by Willy…

Games Babies Play
It constantly blows our minds how bright Phil is, guys. I know every parent says that – but I don’t know any other 14 month old that comes up with games like “if I close my eyes, you can’t see me anymore.” It’s like the next level of peek a boo or something! The best…
