Melanie

Lately I can't seem to stop snapping pictures of Melanie. If Audrey is around when I get my camera out you better believe she will find a way into the photo, silly girl!
 She just popped her first tooth yesterday! We were worried she wasn't going to get any teeth it has taken her so long.
 She's had a bit of a runny nose. The other day while I was nursing her she was struggling to breath and she looked right up at me and says, uh oh. It was darling.
 She's still sleeping in our bed. I know that's going to change real soon, like next week. Poor baby, that's going to be a hard week for her and me! It's long overdue, I can't help spoiling her.
 We like to call her Ellie, or Mel. 
 She turns ONE next month. Wow!
 She is so sweet, and calm but don't let that fool you! She is quick and BUSY!
 She loves baths and as soon she hears the water running she takes off!
I'm so bummed she is blurred in the picture because it's so cute! We love our Ellie!

Melinie gets cuter every time you post pictures. I still think she looks like your grandma. She is precious.

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

December

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe 2020. Unpredictable, scary, death, political insanity, isolation, divisive, racial inequality, quarantine, masks etc. etc. It was really rough for us around June-October when we had no idea whether or not Elliott would have a job. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that didn't get furloughed. Financially speaking our biggest hit was that overtime was cut. We had big plans of paying off a lot of debt from law school and going on our first family trip to Disneyworld. Without that overtime we make about $2,000 less a month and it's quite a hit, but we are making it work. We canceled our Disneyworld trip and are living paycheck to paycheck but had Elliott been furloughed for an undermined amount of time I don't know what we would have done. I know there are many families in that situation and I wish we were in a position to offer some assistance instead of treading water. I feel very blessed and fortunate for where w...
