my little “helper”

Bea LOVES the fridge. LOVES. I’m pretty sure she would live in there if I would let her. Tonight before I put the groceries away I needed to wipe down the shelves and she “helped” me. She helped take out all the food, and then stood on it and wiped it down. I love this … Continue reading →

new things

My precious child, asleep during the 16 hour car ride home. Stretching her legs in the front seat. … Continue reading →

Hey we’re having another baby!!!

Today Jason, Bea and I got to hear the baby’s heart beat. I love that sound. It’s the first connection, it’s the reassurance, it’s life. It’s my baby. I’m 12 weeks today, so the baby will be here in the middle of May. Now that we have gotten over the shock of being parents again, … Continue reading →

holiday weekend

Saturday morning after I put Bea down for her first nap (I’m pretty sure she was up at 5am that morning) I decided that I was going to go swimming. I wasn’t sure where to go, so I just drove down ocean road, and then came back to Narragansett Beach. I knew that during the … Continue reading →
