A Chill Christmas

For the first time since mid-November, we found ourselves with no travel or entertaining so enjoyed a pretty relaxing Christmas! We got dressed to have a lunch out but otherwise snuggled into the couch and enjoyed the comforts of home.

Movie Night!

It took just under 11 months, but we hit a momentous milestone during the pandemic – watching 100 original movies during our new-to-the-pandemic movie night tradition. From Onward in mid-March 2020 to Ice Age 2 as movie #100, we’ve seen pretty much everything Disney has to offer ever and then some from other sources. We…

Owen continues to rack up the months (and pounds) as he hits 4 months. Goodbye “fourth trimester” and hello big baby boy!

One, Two, Three!

While a few weeks into his fourth month already, here’s a photographic overview for Owen’s first “quarter”.
