a weekly log of our everyday life
Month 14 seems to be the month of exponential growth and learning for Baby R or should we say Toddler R. It’s almost as if overnight her brain turned on and now, every day she’s doing new tricks! Here are some cool things she’s been doing that we just want to document & remember. She […]

It’s Cindy’s last week of summer break before going back for her 8th year of teaching! She had so many plans lined up and was so excited for one last hurrah. Unfortunately, Baby R had different plans. For one, she decided it was time to drop from 2 naps to 1. Anyone who is a […]

The big highlight of our last week was our first date night in what seems like a long time!!! The biggest advice we hear from seasoned parents is to prioritize quality time together. For us, this was a little easier back in the baby days when all Baby R would do is sleep and when […]

We went from having no plans at all last week to a week packed with social engagements nearly every day this week! It seems counterintuitive but when you have a toddler who needs entertaining all day, it’s actually preferable to make plans than to not make plans. Sometimes the days just drag by, when we […]

(well as relaxing as it can get for Jake… he’s racing against the clock to finish his paper) We had one of the most relaxing weeks in a very long time this past week. In fact, we haven’t felt this refreshed and relaxed in quite a while! Baby R caught a little cold, so we […]

We shared last week how we’ve been feeling a little spread thin recently, Jake especially. So Cindy decided to spend the weekend with her parents- giving Jake some much-needed undistracted, undisturbed time to focus on his work. Working from home has its perks, but one of the downsides is that it is very hard to […]

Jake attended his first in-person conference (since the pandemic shutdowns) this past weekend! In February of 2020, we bought new dress shirts, ties, and pants for Jake in anticipation of all the conferences he would be attending starting that year. Finally, after two years, Jake was able to wear his “new” clothes! We were both […]

The big highlight of our week was hiking with our friends who also have a baby around the same age as Baby R. It’s been so fun hanging out and watching our babies hang out (or more like watching our babies treat the other like a new toy). It’s just so much easier making plans […]
