So it’s not a huge secret that I had a cheeseburger or two (um, every single day) of my second and third trimesters of my pregnancy with Elliott. I am convinced that’s why he’s so strong and healthy!! You’ve gotta consume over 100 grams of protein daily when you’re roasting a bun in your oven!… Continue reading Cheeseburger Paradise

I have a problem. Well, maybe it’s not my problem after all…I mean, the source of my problem is in the fact that Elliott is so darn cute!!!

It was a glorious day here in Tacoma. The 4th of July is definitely one of those days where it is just an… Continue reading All American, Baby!!

This month, I have said that about myself on multiple occasions…I feel like every time I turn around, I say to myself with an eye roll, “Oh, Susanne…you are totally ‘that mom’“… Like, a FANTASTIC day is a day that I… Continue reading 3 Months Old!

Brian is not your typical dad, in that no sports game, round of golf, or cigar smoke with his buddies can entice this dad away on Father’s Day. All he asked for was to be with us. So we spent the day staring at sweet Elliott, and ooing and ahhing over every little move he… Continue reading Tribute to Daddy-O

If blogging backwards were an Olympic event, I’m sure I could win a gold medal.What is “blogging backwards”, you ask? Well, it’s a beautiful sport for those of us who can’t seem to blog on time. Namely, me.May is such a BEAUTIFUL month. This year especially. It’s always had my birthday in it, but this… Continue reading Blogging Backwards

I couldn’t possibly count the amount of minutes I spend each day just smiling at him… Continue reading 2 Months Old!
