For the last year, for every Wednesday that we were in town, we’d been meeting up with our May/June 2011 PEP group and loving it the whole time. The next few Wednesdays….well, all of May, June and half of July….are now drastically different for both me and Burke. You see, I am now facilitating the [...]

Dear Burke, Holy cow. You are ONE. BURKE!! You.Are.One! Where in the world did the last 12 months go? They flew by extremely quick, but we’ve enjoyed every minute of your life. We love watching you learn new things every day and the surprises that occur when we discover what your new “trick” of the [...]

The Bollman clan came in from Vegas on Friday night and arrived after Burke fell asleep.  We had a nice time catching up, eating brownies, and then decided to go all get some rest for the big day! Yes, the big day.  Saturday, April 28th…otherwise known as the day of WAY too many activities.  Of [...]

When we knew we’d be making a trip to TX, I hoped that we’d be able to make some time to get to Austin to visit with some of our friends there too. Well, it was a quick one…just a tad longer than a 24 hour round trip….but it was worth it. We left Katy [...]

What a busy Thursday!! We went to the last meeting of The Gathering this morning. Sniff sniff. I have been so blessed by the Patriarch Beth Moore study and the women in my small group. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know and share life with these women. Our Thursday mornings are going to [...]

For the last 50 Sundays (well, I can’t lie….there were at least two in there that we taken on a Monday – ooops!) we’ve taken a picture of Burke in his white onesie for his weekly photo. In the beginning, this was ridiculously easy. Small babies don’t move. It got a little harder once Burke [...]

Burke has graduated once again at SB Community College. Since he’s now walking, we have moved from Infant Times II to Toddler Times I. This one meets on Tuesdays from 930 to 1145am – perfect timing for Burke’s new naptime routine. We were the first ones to arrive so Burke had first dibs at all [...]

On Wednesday afternoon, a bunch of the little ones were all awake at the same time….so we visited the park in the neighborhood. Burke is pretty enthralled with the rock climbing wall.  I can imagine that it won’t be too much longer until he can actually climb it! Burke stood for about 5 minutes just [...]

Dear Burke, Wow, the last month, your 8th month, seems like it flew by. It started out as the new year – 2012 – and now it’s already February 1st. You are 9 months old today. You’ve been outside Mommy’s belly almost as long as you were inside. That just seems crazy to me. You [...]

You may have noticed (which I KNOW some of you have as I’ve caught some slack for it), that I haven’t been posting as frequently as normal. Well, a few weeks ago I started to feel super overwhelmed with the smallest things in life. Grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, volunteering, feeding Burke, blogging, etc, etc….I was [...]
