First, the BIGGEST congratulations to Vanessa & her entire sweet family on the addition of baby Nash! Vanessa's blogs was one of the first ones I started following & it still remains one of my favorites today. There is just something about her that is so incredibly genuine & I just know that if we didn't live so far apart, we would be friends in real life. :) Plus, something tells me our crazy girls would have way too much fun together!! While Vanessa is getting in ...
Meeting Nash
I've always loved hearing friends' birth stories. Each one unique in it's own way--just like the little miracle that arrives at the end of it. Even so, I've gone back and forth about whether or not I should share Nash's birth story here. It's not at all what I had pictured, and honestly, it's pretty scary when I see it all typed out. BUT this blog is my journal...the place where I document our lives and the place that lets me remember what I was thinking and feeling at each point in ...
Five on Friday Hodgepodge
Hi friends! First of all, thank you all so much for the kind words and congratulations...they mean so much! We're getting settled in as a family of 4 and loving every minute with our sweet little Nash. There are so many things that I've wanted to blog about the past two weeks...and also many times that I've thought "I should probably clean this house"...but alas, I've done neither :) Instead I've enjoyed countless hours on the couch with my little snuggler, and every other ...
Say Hello to the Holidays: Erinn’s Sweet Potato Casserole
Hi Friends, I'm Erinn from Strawberry Swing and Other Things and I'm so excited to be guest posting while Vanessa gets in some sweet snuggle time with Nash (and Arden too). Vanessa asked us to share our some holiday related posts as we enter the happiest season of the year. Halloween was fun, but I'm so excited to share the holiday season with my two little ones. Since Thanksgiving is next up on the calendar, and I am a big don't put up the tree until the turkey is eaten kind of ...
Welcome to this World…
Nash Russell October 23, 2014 7lbs 2oz 20 inches long ...and a head full of brown hair :) Our hearts are so full! Even his big sister is smitten! We're back at home and getting settled into life as a family of 4. God is so good! Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes, friends! If you need me anytime soon, I'll be right here :) ...
Weekend Recap: Fishies and Choo-Choos
So maybe it's more of a Saturday recap...because Saturday was just awesome. After cheering on our cats to a victory (go state!), we spent the rest of the day at Crown Center celebrating our only child. Raise your hand if you're tired of hearing me boohoo about Arden not being the baby anymore?! Sorry--I promise to lock that up soon...but in the meantime, we're having some fun making her feel really special and talking to her about all of the fun that's to come. I think she's ...
