Love Letter to My Son

Disclaimer: I am probably at stalker status on Amanda’s site and absolutely loved her hubby’s recent post.  It probably has something to do with the fact that I, too, recently brought a small person into the world.  Her pictures of mini wrinkled hands and sleeping faces help me to stop and enjoy the quiet moments… Continue reading Love Letter to My Son

Things I’ve Learned in Your First Month of Life

1. Every morning you look just a little bit different. 2. You love shadows and Daddy is running out of shadow hand puppets so he just makes up hand gestures to flash on the wall for you. 3. You would rather nap on our chests than in your own bed. 4. You would rather sleep… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned in Your First Month of Life

Quick 40 Week Update

My mom arrived from the States last Saturday and Joe and I picked her up in Malaga.  She was very excited that Tripp waited for her to come witness his arrival but he still hasn’t made his appearance.  We headed to Rota today for my 40 week appt. and the Dr. was very enthusiastic about… Continue reading Quick 40 Week Update

38 Week Pregnancy Photo Shoot

This past weekend Joe and I took some pregnancy photos in the backyard.  There is a photography shop on the Naval Base in Rota but the quality of the photos leave much to be desired and the Spanish photographers are ridiculously expensive so we decided to take them ourselves.  Joe took most of the shots… Continue reading 38 Week Pregnancy Photo Shoot
