Training

So I have been in training this week learning how to “work at home”, which is why I have been MIA lately.  I have not really had time to update anything.  Also my internet at home is being upgraded and for some reason I have not been able to log in.  Awesome.  So clearly this [...]

let the games begin

Friday was my softball season opener.  I met up with a friend before the games to try to remember how to swing a bat at the batting cages.  I picked a cage that was labeled “slow pitch” but it was totally not.  It was actually a very slow “fast pitch”.  Which was fine because it [...]

Ice Cream Man!!!

Last night Jeremy and I were eating dinner and we were in the middle of a very intense conversation about our awesome homemade spaghetti sauce (which was homemade because we were both too lazy to go get a jar from the grocery store and so we just threw a few cans of tomato sauce and [...]

Cost of formula=my left leg

I am so ready to be done with buying formula.  $30 per can per week adds up real quick.  It makes me wish I would have breastfed longer.   We are in the process of transitioning to milk and so we have been mixing 2 ounces of milk in with his formula in his morning bottle and his [...]

Cost of new chair=my right leg

Because I will be working from home full time very shortly, I decided that I need a good office chair.  I figured that sitting on a dining room chair will not cut it for a 10 hour work day.  I told Jeremy that I want a chair just like the one I have at work.  So [...]

A new interest

Jaxson has recently found a new interest in books.  He loves to flip through the pages and he constantly wants us to read him to him.  He will carry a book over to us, turn around and plop his butt down into our lap.  Adorable.  Well, all of his books are on the top shelf of [...]

Making daddy proud.

Jaxson got his first set of golf clubs this weekend.  We are going on the Karls’ family annual golf trip in Door County Wisconsin in a few months and we need to get Jaxson ready for lots of golfing!  He really showed no interest in the clubs but of course he loved the golf balls.  [...]

ANIMALS!!!

This past weekend we went to the Reston Zoo with our friends Laura and Mike and their new baby John.  This zoo rocks.  It is basically an “extreme” petting zoo.  You can pet all the usual animals like sheep and pigs, but you get to go on a tractor ride where you can pet camels, zebras, deer [...]

Working from home

I have been able to work part time for the past year thanks to the FMLA (family medial leave act), which lets you take leave without pay and still keep your full benefits up to your child’s first birthday.  Well, Jaxson is turning one in a few weeks and I need to go back to work full time.  I [...]

Raw bum

This stomach bug that Jaxson had caused some serious diaper rash.  He has never had diaper rash a day in his life before and now his poor little bum is so raw and red.  It is so bad that on monday we put him in his highchair for dinner and he screamed and cried and [...]
