As part of our newly-forming ritual as young parents, Veronica and I spend some time after our Sunday service to lay out the rest of the day. Sometimes we’ll decide to visit a family member and other times we’ll run some much needed errands. On this particular Sunday,…
I truly love the holidays and I’m a little sad to see them go. Im the person that will leave my decorations up to the very last minute. (My tree is still up as I type). Wes knows that Christmas is my favorite holiday and this year with our…
This November made 1 year since we have started this blog. We’ve been missing in action so we wanted to catch you up!
I love Toys r Us/Babies r us. Growing up you think that it’s just for kids. You know with all the advertisements we used to see (I don’t want to grow up, I want to be a Toys r Us kid) but as an adult I love it even…

It’s past midnight and as I write this in our small hospital room, our son is only 6 hours old. Mom and baby are asleep and I have volunteered to stay up and watch over them both as they rest for a few hours. They both had a very…
Today marks the 38th week of our pregnancy so that means that our son could be coming at any minute. He may even be here before I finish writing this post. Let’s hope not. Millions of new parents are created every year and Veronica and I are excited to…
It’s finally here. The home stretch. In about 6 weeks (according to schedule), I am going to be a Dad to a little bundle “No, You can’t sleep right now. I am hungry”. Sarcasm aside, I can’t wait. As the days draw nearer, I find myself daydreaming about parenthood…
