Last post before we have a one year old

One year ago today, Cam and I were having a fancy dinner at The Charles enjoying our last night as a family of two. I remember Cam ordered this delicious Iberico pork, and I had some less memorable fish. I slowly savored my one glass of wine that I had saved for this night that week. My mom was eagerly calling me about what the "plan" was tomorrow. We would go to bed that night knowing that our lives would change dramatically the next day at noon when our daughter Wren was scheduled to arrive.

This has been both the quickest and longest year of my life. What started as an overwhelming and emotionally draining first few months due to Wren's challenges with MSPI and reflux has evolved into an indescribably rewarding relationship with our tiny human. We are so lucky to have this little birdie in our lives.

Happy Birthday, Dziadziu!

Dziadziu came up with a contraption to keep Wren's sippy cup off the ground

It worked.

Beignets!

Lake and Beach

We are certain of one thing about Wren lately - she is a water baby! The past few weeks we've taken trips to Lake Travis and to the Panama City Beach area of Florida with Wren. To say she loves the water is an understatement. We visited Lake Travis with Cam's family, where Wren took her first boat ride and swam in the lake. She was a little apprehensive at first, but then she had a blast "jumping" into the water from the boat. Lake life suited Oscar as well. Who needs a boating license? Lake life is exhausting Larry was kind enough to fly us to Florida so we didn't have to make the brutal choice of braving the COVID-19 crowds at the airport or a 14-hour car ride with a toddler. This allowed us to bring Oscar to the beach with us too! This was our third annual trip "crashing" Mark and Jordan's combined family vacation. It's a special trip for us because we love watching Mark's four niece...

Spring 2021 Update

We are well over a year into the pandemic, and there are signs of hope in DFW. Both Cameron and I have received both doses of Pfizer, so now we and both sets of grandparents are fully vaccinated. Most of our friends have received at least their first vaccine, too. Elliot was visiting and her mama put her on a blanket, so Wren brought her a baby and joined her. ;) Wren, Brooke and Elliot Brooke's first birthday party Reading with Baba We received some sad news from Wren's daycare last week. They are closing permanently at the end of May, but we were lucky enough to receive a spot at a nearby sister campus. Wren starts at her new campus next Monday, May 3. We anticipate it will be a difficult adjustment for her, so we're trying to warm her up to it by talking about her "new school" and showing her the campus and playground ahead of time. Wren LOVES her teachers and her classmates, so we hope the transition won't be too hard on her. We've spent many bea...

4 month photo dump

I have neglected updating Wren’s blog for several moths, so here is a huge photo dump featuring Christmas, her 3rd birthday, and first time skiing in Crested Butte. Our little one has such a funny little personality. Right now she’s really into cooking and food toys, and she’s turning out to be kind of a girly girl. She insists that everything is “pink”, and the books she picks at bedtimes are typically princess books and fairy tales. She continues to be obsessed with the big bad wolf and witches. Her favorite food is French fries, but she fortunately does a good job cleaning up her fruits and veggies too. When she turned 3, she told us she would now like to have coffee, beer and wine. 😂 She skied for the first time in Crested Butte in February with Cam’s family and loved it. She kept telling her ski instructors that she wanted to “go fast!” She loves her cousins Cash and Walker dearly and thinks they are super cool. First date Arboretum Christmas village Taking...
