Big News! Baby #2 on the Way!

March 30, 2020

Big News! Baby #2 on the Way!

I have been keeping a secret... We are due this summer with Baby 2! We took a nice long drive this weekend along the shore and decided to take some announcement photos on the beach. I love these pictures so much and plan to frame a bunch for our home! I am close in age to my two sisters (17 months apart from one and 3.5 years from the other), and both T and I are close to our siblings. We are so excited to have two kids fairly close in age. I hope they will be good …

Five Year Anniversary

September 4, 2019

Five Year Anniversary

I almost can't believe it's been five years since I walked down the aisle and we said "I do," but here we are! Our five year anniversary was on Friday! Last Wednesday we went to a favorite dinner spot in Central MA. We then celebrated Labor Day weekend by heading down the Cape with my sister and her husband (plus E and our combined three dogs).

A Big (Baby) Announcement!

April 25, 2017

A Big (Baby) Announcement!

We are so, so excited, and I'm thrilled to share that we are expecting a baby! I'm amazed at how much I thought I knew about being pregnant because of friends and family members having babies, and I knew literally nothing compared to what I know now. And I still have a lot to learn. We're nearly halfway through pregnancy already! My goodness, though, the things they don't tell you... (Update: I blogged about some of the things they don't tell you about the first trimester!) It has been …
