About Me

Our adventure started on a beautiful June day in 2004. Fast forward 12 years and now we are the proud parents of 3 active, beautiful boys. Nathan, Bracken, and Marco. We call Prescott Valley, Arizona home and are constantly reminded that there is never enough time to accomplish and experience everything we think we want. Life with a young family is precious and simplicity is our ongoing quest.

Newborn Babyness

I love the newborn stage.  There is no doubt it is difficult with nursing every 3 hours, waking up several times a night, and trying to function with inadequate sleep during the day while you try to take care of the older children.  But even with all that, I can't get enough of my newborn.


They are so small and snuggly. I love it when Marco nuzzles into my neck.  I love his irregular breathing and sweet little squeeks and grunts.


I love it when he scrunches up into a little ball because it makes him seem smaller than he really is.  When he was 6 days old we had his newborn appointment with our pediatrician and he weighed in at 8lbs 3oz, this little guy is eating good and he has a bulgy, froggy belly to prove it!



It won't be long before he takes up more space on his changing table.  Babies grow way too fast.  So I'm going to soak in these newborn days while they last.
