With Spring and Summer come busy weekends so we have been making an effort to pack up meals to take along with us while we are out. As much as we enjoying the occasional dining out we don’t want to make it too much of a habit. Two weekends ago now we packed up lunch … [Read more…]
This past weekend we spent Sunday morning soaking up the sun with friends at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. This festival has been on our ‘to do’ list but the past two years we just haven’t made it down but finally we were able to this year and it was beautiful.

I really thought that I would be able to get through these early months with Alder without blogging about his sleep because frankly the first 4.5 months were pretty amazing. I don’t know why it is but I only want to blog about sleep when we are going through a tough time but here we … [Read more…]
Around this time of year I remember heading out to Ames (who knows what I am talking about?) and I would pick out Valentine’s Day cards to hand out to my friends and family. Back then you could just get those little cards with cartoon characters on them and if you were lucky you might … [Read more…]
