During our time in Idaho over the summer we were able to "help" out while Ben's mom and grandma readied their homes to go on the market. And I do say "help" with full quotations because with two little ones running around we really only offered the teeniest little sliver of assistance on all that … Continue reading Grandma’s Sunbonnet Sue

This has been one FULL month! I even hesitate to do a GBOMB because how can anything be better than having a fresh, new baby to snuggle.

She's here! Our sweet little baby number 2 is here and we are in love! We named her Greta Jean. We had a hard time choosing a name this time around but Greta was a name that we kept coming back to and, when she was born, we knew it fit. And Jean is after … Continue reading She’s Here!
