It feels weird to sit down and try to write a blog post, like I’ve been gone for years instead of weeks. Bullets seem appropriate today as they don’t require well thought out paragraphs that relate to each other on a singular topic This is Avelyn’s last week of daycare. Keeping her home will save [...]

Again, so much to say and not enough time to write it! Avelyn has been down for nearly an hour now so I’ll see what I can pound out. I can’t believe how much more I love this child everyday. I didn’t think it was possible and then, poof! She grows a little taller, pops [...]

It’s official, I repeat, it’s official. Summer is in fact coming to a close. Kevin is back at work and school is now in session, as evidenced by the swarms of children that flooded the ER the last few weeks. Note to parents everywhere – unless your child is less than 28 days old or [...]

These days I feel like I live on a racetrack, running round and round trying to keep up with the cars flying by me. The biggest reason I haven’t been blogging isn’t because I have nothing to say. All day long I write in my head amazingly humorous, incredibly witty (shut up, I’m freakin’ hysterical) [...]

My baby brother got married this weekend which I’m pretty sure means I am really old now. Avelyn was a drop dead gahw-geous flower girl in her little ruffled dress and tiny pearls. She had fun picking up the skirt ever so slightly and twirling herself. Sigh. Aren’t little girls just precious? Kevin flew to [...]

In the immortal words of somebody (I’m sure someone has said it before): “I afear we may be fightin’ the pink eye”. Avelyn has been transitioning from the infant room to the 1-2’s (orange) room this week and came home with diarrhea yesterday. Not that they’re necessarily related but I always like to have another [...]

No more Jennifer Welch, UTSN (student nurse). Soon it will be Jennifer Welch, RN. How freaking cool! Our lease officially began. We have the [...]

Oh my, what a week. I’m feeling whelmed in both the good and bad sense of the word. Did you know we found a house to rent in San Antonio? Well, we found a house to rent in San Antonio! It’s wonderful, huge, in a great GATED neighborhood. It has a backyard, an Avelyn room, [...]

Avelyn turned 11 months old yesterday!!! I can’t believe she will be ONE in four weeks. I remember days not long ago when I reveled in her babyness but stumbled in a sleepless string of nights I thought would never end. And now she’s almost walking and talking and sleeping through the night. Sigh… Eating [...]
