I can’t believe it’s been a week already! Baby Ima is settling into the Elam family like a pro, already dominating everyone’s attention with drama such that this world hasn’t seen since baby jennifer reigned:) while each day i feel that we get a little closer to ironing out our new routine, our little […]
hello all!! We are home from the hospital today having just welcomed Imagen Vada Elam into the world!! She was born at 1:57pm on the 9th day of November weighing in at 8lbs 3oz and measuring 19 in long. The all-natur-al delivery, lasting a whopping 13 minutes caught both jaythan […]
We took advantage of the warm-ish weather and drove up to this little train station in the Dells so that Noah (who is in LOVE with choo choo trains) could ride in an actual locomotor.

We’ve been to a barrage of birthday parties in the past couple of months, including my own, ringing in the big #2 with all of our special friends (although I am slightly above that… ringing in the big 2-8!!) I was lucky enough to wake up and open presents with my adoring husband and […]

(and feed the ducks, share some ice-cream, have some snack, take […]

I’m not talking about packing and unpacking, I’m talking about packing, wrapping, lifting, cleaning, and BABY PROOFING! with a toddler in tow. It was crazy trying to figure out in […]
WE HAVE OFFICIALLY MOVED! We spent our first saturday here surrounded by boxes, clutter, and craziness, watching a fox chase the dozens of birds flitting around our backyard and it was so blissfully wonderful, I don’t remember a time i’ve been more happy! Never mind that we can’t find clean undies or matching […]
Jaythan and I recently experienced one of those wonderful and majestic events that make up parenthood… DATE NIGHT!
We went to dinner and a movie, unwittingly charmed by “Dan in real life” about a widowed father (steve carell) raising 3 girls and spending x-mas with his family. I know, sounds like a hall-of-famer! but it reminded […]
