Feli’s Visiting

Grandma and Papa Feli visited last weekend.  We had a lot of fun and kept busy outside in the gorgeous weather. Friday night was supposed to be Bryson’s first soccer practice/game of the Spring season, but thunderstorms resulted in the games being cancelled.  He was a little upset, but he had fun playing around the …

32 Weeks

What’s new with the pregnancy?  What I thought was Sciatica actually ended up getting way worse.  I could barely stand-up from seated, and when I did, I had shooting pain in my buttocks / upper leg.  It was rough.  I went to see my general practitioner doctor about it, and he said that it was S-I …

Bryson’s Pottery

Bryson and I did an event last night with the Madeira Mom’s group that I am part of.  It was a paint night at Mad Potter.  Bryson was super excited to go, and really wanted to paint a light switch cover, similar to what we painted for the kid’s last month. When we got there, …

30 Weeks

What’s new with the pregnancy?  I am slightly anemic, which was discovered during the glucose screening test.  I guess this could help explain my fatigue.  I have been on Iron pills for the past few weeks, and amazingly, my feet and hands aren’t always cold now!  I also have sciatica, which feels worse nowadays.  I have …

Easter

He is risen! Easter weekend was a quick trip to Grandma and Grandpa Slattery’s in Columbus, IN.  It started with an Easter Egg Hunt at the marina.  Mya got the golden egg this year for her division, which means she won a 3 foot tall stuffed rhino.She loved it!  She was trying to carry it …

Date Night Art

Nick and I had a date night a couple weeks ago.  After our quiet and relaxing dinner, we headed to Mad Potter in Madeira to paint.  Going into it, I had no idea what to paint, but we were inspired by some functional and decorative items for the kids’ rooms. After a week of waiting …

Brown County ’16

We had another super, fun weekend at Brown County this year.  I know the kids had a ton of fun too…Bryson told me over and over again that he NEVER wanted to leave Brown County. We spent a ton of time at the pool, even though the water was quite chilly.  It didn’t seem to bother the …

26 Weeks

What’s new with the pregnancy?  Lots of movement.  Nick felt and saw baby move for the first time over the past couple weeks.  I’ve also felt the need to “nest’” lately.  I want to re-organize and clean the whole house…if only I had the energy to do it! Milestones:  We are in the last week …

Poop Breakthrough

We had a poop breakthrough on Potty training!  Mya is finally pooping on the potty.  All it took was a simple promise from me…. I knew she had to poop, but she didn’t want to.  I told her if she pooped on the potty, she could watch Anna/Elsa (aka “Frozen”) on the iPad for a …

Potty Training

And so it’s begun…potty training for Mya. For the past few months, she has been doing pretty well with going on the potty.  If we asked her to go, Mya would usually sit on the potty and about half the time she would pee.  There have been a few times she pooped, but I think that was …
