November was a hard month. William was sick for half of it with a combination of hand, foot, mouth virus (which was TERRIBLE), and flu symptoms. Having a sick baby is no fun! They can’t communicate and you don’t know how to help them. So while he was sick, we watched LOTS of Lion King … Read More
First Trick or Treating!
William loved everything about halloween this year, especially pretending to be his favorite animal. He has a slight obsession with lions, roaring, any board book with a lion in it, The Lion King (cartoon & live-action), and now, his lion costume. Whenever he sees it lying around he begs to us to put it on, … Read More
Hiking the Cinque Terre
Wow. The Cinque Terre. It was incredible. Of all the places we visited in Italy, I was most excited for our time in the Cinque Terre. It was even better than the photos on the internet and quickly became a trip highlight for us. We stayed at an Airbnb in Riomaggiore, and explored the surrounding … Read More

First-timers in Boston
In September, Braden and I traveled out to Boston for a work interview and quickly fell in love with it! We especially loved Beacon Hill.

He absolutely LOVES his Computer Science major and is the President of the ACM Club (Association of Computing Machinery). I’ve loved watching him lead and empower those … Read More
Thank Florence for the Food!
I’m so excited to share some of our favorite moments in Florence with you! Florence is so full of history and art, and it was incredible to see many of the works that I studied in college, in person. We saw a lot of Raphael, Michelangelo, and Botticelli to name a few. Ahhh it was … Read More
Pumpkin Patch 2019
Last Friday we went to Wilkerson Farms and it was so much fun! The farm was the perfect size for Will to walk around and explore. They had a mini corn maze made out of haystacks, a small animal farm, carnival rides, pumpkins, and a hay ride. William found the small pumpkins and quickly started … Read More
Exploring the Alpine Loop
First of all, General Conference was AMAZING!! It was just what I needed. So many of the talks on motherhood really spoke to me and brought me comfort in this season of my life. After the Sunday Afternoon session ended, we jumped in the car with our picnic basket and went for a drive up … Read More
