    2016: Year in Review

    As I sit down to write this little recap of the year’s events, I can’t help but feel thankful. A lot has happened this year, if keeping up with Elijah constantly growing and changing wasn’t enough, I started looking for a new job closer to my family (and Jess’s parents) in the Pacific Northwest. Let’s…

    Giddy Up

    Thanks to family, we were giving all the things necessary for Elijah to be a cowboy. So of course, we chose this to be his costume this year. Free and adorable were a great reason. Elijah rocked his little cowboy outfit as he took a little ride on his horse before trick or treating. Grandpa…

  • Once a dream

    Once a dream

    Running down along the Riverfront Trail in The Dalles, Oregon, a distant dream came back to mind when I saw the National Geographic Ship Sea Bird at The Dalles Port. Ah, to be on board that ship and to have a photo published in the magazine. That was the dream. The dream started back in…

  • Finding Our Bearing

    Finding Our Bearing

    We’ve been here a week now, the U-Haul has been returned, the storage unit filled, bags unpacked and a few days of work under my belt. I’ve been getting used to the commute, but I think with views like this, I’ll come to enjoy this part of my day. The first days of my new…

  • Ten Months

    Ten Months

    Our little guy is now 10 months old! Though he’s not crawling yet, he can scoot and roll and can move quicker than both mom and dad are ready for. He’s a happy, healthy baby boy who brings regular joy into our lives. It helps that he sleeps through the night…

  • Nine Months (3/4 Year Old)

    Nine Months (3/4 Year Old)

    Our little guy turned 9 month over the weekend! We were away camping up in Hyalite Canyon, south of Bozeman for the holiday weekend, so we finally got our monthly shot accomplished today. Speaking of camping, Elijah experienced his first camping trip and did great! He even slept through some thunder and lightning storms that…

  • One Week

    One Week

    The end of last week doesn’t count for the beginning of my new full time job as mommy. My parents were in town and I took off with them to visit family in North Dakota. This week was my first week staying home with Elijah just the two of us with a few lunches with…

  • Eight Months

    Eight Months

    The little man turned Eight months this past week! He is cutting a couple teeth and is talking, rolling over and just doing more of everything. He loves watching mommy, daddy and brother Flynn. The latter is particularly adorable as he talks to Flynn when we all go for a ride in the car. 

  • A Weekend of Firsts

    A Weekend of Firsts

    Last Thursday, Elijah and I took off on his first commercial plane ride with my good friend and her little lady. We headed to the East Coast to visit our friend and her family. We had a great time going into Washington, D.C. for two days and spending the rest of our time relaxing and…

  • Seven Months

    Seven Months

    How time continues to fly. He has been trying out new foods, sitting up without much help, and rolling over.

  • Pittsburgh and the G7

    Pittsburgh and the G7

    I recently was “transferred” for my job. I am still based out of Bozeman, but am now part of the Information Systems team for the parent company, Woodard & Curran. As you might recall, I traveled to Portland, ME in the Fall of 2014, this was to visit the very same company. One of my…

  • Five Months!

    Five Months!

    The little man has been on this earth for five whole months. He’s moving more and more and has taken to standing for minutes at a time (supported of course). He continues to show us more personality with each passing day. A full night’s rest still alludes our little progeny, but he’s getting close.
