This blog was started in 2008 when we did IVF for the first time to build our family after 5 1/2 years of infertility. We now have 14 and 8 year old boys (thanks to modern medicine) and we are enjoying our blessed life as parents ♥ In the summer of 2016 we took another huge step and moved across the country from Oklahoma to New York! This blog is about life and everything in between

Welcome to 2024


I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season with family and friends! We enjoyed a quiet Christmas break at home with the boys. Unfortunately there was zero snow for our first time in NY so that was a bit odd! We still did our fun family traditions, including homemade roast beef and cheddar sandwiches for Christmas Eve dinner.


Christmas morning we doled out the presents and watched the boys open up their gifts. Brad only requested money but we did get him a few small things. His favorite was super warm and soft wearable blanket!



Jacob got all the things he requested from Santa like a watch, a computer program, and lots of candy!


I was very happy with my new Golden Girls coffee mug and drink thermos. Love it!


After presents I cooked us all homemade biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs for brunch.


Dinner we kept simple with yummy chicken enchiladas, refried beans, and Spanish rice with apple pie for dessert later on.

After the boys went to bed, Nick and I enjoyed a quiet evening by the Christmas tree.


NYE we all had an assortment of finger foods that quickly got eaten and watched some funny movies. This was the first year that both boys stayed up till midnight with us! We popped poppers and watched the NYC ball drop on TV before shooing them off to bed with us to follow soon after.




Now for a fresh start and a fresh year with an EXTRA leap day! Make this one count.
