Project 365: 25-31 (January 25th – 31st 2010)

25 (January 25th, 2010) Reagan had her four month check-up this week. She weighed in at 13lbs, 12oz. That’s a two pound increase since her last appointment on January 2nd!! The nurse practitioner was a little concerned about her weight gain back at the beginning of the month so this was a good increase. She [...]

Playing in the snow!

Today was Reagan’s first time in the snow. We got her all bundled up in a pair of feety pajamas, a sweater set that her Great Grandma made her, and her snow suit. Seeing her all bundled up reminded me of the kid from The Christmas Story (a movie that I despise!!!….I know, how un-American. [...]

The Blizzard of 2010!

Folks, you would think that we were snowed in under four feet of snow. Yes, I live in the south, a place generally not accustomed to the white stuff, but still. Snow in the forecast should not lead to all out panic, putting brine on the roads two days before said forecast and cancelling school [...]

18 Week Picture

I made the task of taking this picture MUCH harder than it needed to be. When I print out the the sign for each week, I print out the current week and the week after on one sheet of paper (I’m saving the trees one sheet of paper at a time…). I thought today she [...]

Babies Don’t Keep

I love this poem. I’m not really into poetry. I always had a hard time interpreting and understanding it while in high school, but this one truly speaks to my heart. I hope that my child, looking back on today Will remember a mother who had time to play; Because children grow up while you’re [...]

I miss him……

Only a few more weeks and our family will be whole again.

Project 365: 18-24 (January 18th-24th 2010)

18 (January 18th, 2010) This is my life now, along with being a wife and mom! 19 (January 19th, 2010) Doing homework. YUCK! 20 (January 20th, 2010) Reagan eating some paper. Everything goes in her mouth now. 21 (January 21st, 2010) The book that Reagan is looking at is a Winnie the Pooh [...]

3 Month Video

Here is the video covering Reagan’s third month. So much has happened in just 30 days: Christmas, New Years, Ash deployed, my mom came to stay with us, I started school, Reagan got two teeth….wow.

4 Months Old

That’s a third of a year! It’s still amazing to me how fast the last four months have gone by. There are times when I have to tell myself to slow down and soak it all in, because as Darius Rucker says, “it won’t be like this for long.” And once again, she tried to [...]

17 Weeks Old…..and chewing on EVERYTHING!

Here is today’s weekly picture….and a few more for your viewing pleasure. Every weeks becomes more difficult, as Reagan is a little mover and this week, she successfully got the paper into her mouth and when I took it away from her, she was none too pleased! Can’t be allowing my baby to lick the [...]

Hi! My name is Erin and welcome to my little slice of the internet. I'm a 29 year old OIF veteran, lover of Patriot football, Zumba addict and full time student. I started this blog to keep my friends and family informed on our growing family. My husband is on active duty and the Army has us stationed far away from our families.

In August 2010 I began my graduate studies at Vanderbilt University. I am studying to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and plan on graduating in August 2012. It has proven to be a tough exercise in time management and balance, but anything worth it requires hard work!!

Thanks for stopping by!
