The Business of Being Mama: April 2014
http://thebusinessofbeingmama.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2014. December 31, 2013. At the risk of sounding cliche, 2013 was another great year for our family. There is something about the new year that begs for reflection. And as I've thought about this past year, it kind of leaves me breathless. I sometimes take for granted this life I live. Sometimes I get so caught up in packing lunches, and wiping noses, and cleaning floors, and just the daily grind, that I forget to just really soak it all in. In 2013, we got to celebrate a lot. But, th...

The Business of Being Mama: July 2012

Thursday, July 12, 2012. Reece - Third and Fourth Quarters. Dear Reece (and Grace and Emma Kate),. I haven't blogged in a while. I've been busy. We've. This letter is a wrap-up of the second half of your first year. No, your first year isn't up yet - thank goodness! But, as your sweet sister #2 was playing on my phone, she deleted several other notes and some pictures, so I figured things better get documented before this note was "thrown in the trash can" too. Lots has happened, so get ready! What is yo...

The Business of Being Mama: August 2011
http://thebusinessofbeingmama.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Here I sit, 37 weeks pregnant, resembling Shamu, Willy, and friends. Now that I'm full term, things get kicked up a notch. Soon we'll launch full on into baby mode, so I want to write down the happenings of my pregnancy with Reece. At 16 weeks, I broke out the maternity clothes! Finally, at 20 weeks, it was confirmed that Numero Tres was indeed a boy! Precious Baby Boy - 20 week ultrasound. 20 week bump - Happy Easter! By the time the third trimester arrived, summer was here, wh...

The Business of Being Mama: September 2011

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. We shopped online for a new backpack and lunchbox, but she didn't see just the right one. Until we went to the Pottery Barn Outlet. She spotted what was apparently the perfect set through the store window, ran in, grabbed it, and wouldn't let go. Grace's First Day of School Outfit. Ok, ok, so this isn't actually Grace on her first day. I staged this one the next time she wore the outfit. Read the next paragraph and you'll understand why. Apparently all it took was getting s...

Monday, October 24, 2011. Emma Kate - Three. Dear Emma Kate,. Your third birthday is finally here. I say finally because it's all you talked about for the last month. "My buf-day's nevah gonna get he-ah! You proclaimed more than once. Time dragged by for you as you waited for your birthday. Finally is not the word I would use to describe the journey to your birthday from my perspective. No, from where I sit, these three years feel more like three minutes. What if I couldn't? One thing that has remained c...

The Business of Being Mama: Emma Kate - Five
http://thebusinessofbeingmama.blogspot.com/2014/04/emma-kate-five.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. Emma Kate - Five. October 2, 2013. Dear Emma Kate,. In honor of you turning a full high FIVE today, I thought this year's birthday letter should concentrate on that important number. Five Things You Did in the Past Year:. 1 You went to cheer camp for the first time. You had been begging since Grace first started going, and this year was finally your year. You cheered, jumped, stunted, and tumbled your way through the week with a smile and a "5, 6, 7, 8.". 1 Your laugh. You hav...

The Business of Being Mama: Grace - Six
http://thebusinessofbeingmama.blogspot.com/2013/03/grace-six.html
Friday, March 22, 2013. We have just wrapped up a whole week of celebrating you turning six. Sadness because you are no longer that newborn baby that taught me the joy of smelling freshly bathed baby skin. You are no longer that smiling little muffin that toddled her way across our old living room for the first time. You are not even the tiny girl who insisted on skirts every day for over a year. You have had a big, big year! It seems that each week, your jeans get shorter. I keep telling you to slow...
