Best Day Ever?
There are so many moments and experiences in my life that stand out as some of the best moments I’ve experienced – when both of my kids were born, Ben meeting Hannah for the first time and some dates and meals stand out, for sure. When it comes to best days ever, though, the list …
Building the Lodge: Fireplace & Drywall
On our last visit to The Lodge we were in awe of the updates. Things are taking shape so very nicely out there and it’s magnificent to see it all come together. We’ve been able to visualize it but seeing it in person adds a whole new dynamic. See for yourself!
Preschool & Childcare Update
Just over a week ago I posted an update about Ben and his preschool. I posted it while he was at school and after he came home I realized I needed to negate the update. Without going into all of the details surrounding the circumstances, Alex and I made the difficult decision to withdraw Ben …
One-on-One Time
One of the biggest challenges of now having a second child is making sure Alex and I are spending one-on-one time with both kiddos.

Grammy & Papa’s Visit

Weekend in Leavenworth
Alex’s parents were here for an extended visit to spend time with Ben and Hannah. We were excited to plan a weekend trip to Leavenworth and stay nextdoor to The Lodge so we could marvel at the landscape and the progress on our new vacation house. The weather was really nice and the company was …
Hannah’s Newborn Photo Shoot
I’m so excited to share some of our favorite photos from Hannah’s newborn photo shoot. Our family photographer, Kim, came to our house when Hannah was a week and a half old and captured some sweet moments with our whole family, as well as some of just baby Hannah and a few of Alex and …
Ben + Hannah: Week Three
We’re at the beginning of our third week as parents of two! We are all really adjusting to our new normal – Alex is back at work now and Ben seems to be recognizing all of the changes going on around him. I’m used to the cute little chipmunk noises that wake me up in …
Our First Week as a Foursome
Baby Hannah is officially a week old! We have been loving our time together this past week. These are the days I wish I could freeze time – or at least have a camera crew follow us around recording this special time for our new family of four. After Hannah was born our hospital stay …
