Evie is finally sleeping through the night!!!  She goes down around 8pm and wakes up around 7:30 am.  Occasionally she'll still need a bottle or diaper change during the night.  Switching to a night time disposable diaper really helped. 

She's in a pretty easy routine for wake up, meals, naps and bed time.  She knows the drill now.

I was thinking the end of the two-a-day naps were around the corner, but some days she still takes two 2 hour naps.
What they say...

"Oh Elizabeth, she looks just like you!"
"Is she always this good?"

We are...
 Ecstatic about the new house
Still mourning the selling of the Jeep, but having two cars Evie can ride in is a serious blessing!
In denial that we almost have a one year old!!
...not going to keep up with monthly updates after one year, these are exhausting (but I am so glad to have them!)

**I'm so sorry for the disappointing lack of photos.  I have been so busy with work I just haven't been behind the camera!

  1. I wish I still lived in Atlanta, so Evie and Mena could be friends. Because I know they would be.

Our Debt Story Part IV: We're Debt Free...now what?!?!

WE’RE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before you celebrate with us, make sure you've read Elizabeth's Story , Eric's Story , and How We Climbed Out of Debt . Two and a half years of gazelle-ish-like intensity + the few months prior as emotional primer and slowed spending, we made it!  We paid off over $50,000.  We have two car titles. Closed credit card accounts. Statements from one student loan (and one on the way!) with a $0.00 balance.  All our debt with Eric’s parents is paid off.  It’s. All. Gone. We also paid for my 3 semesters of grad school in cash.  Paid a second car accident in cash (it was minor compared to the first one).  Went to Nicaraga on a Mission Trip in cash.  Went on a 5 day Puerto Rican vacation in cash.  We’re up to date on medical expenses for the baby in cash.  All while squeezing in travel for weddings , babies, family reunions, half-marathons , mini-vacations and to see out of town friends...in cash! ...

2017 :: Goals

It's New Year's Resolution time.  Regardless of the date on the calendar, I had a crash and burn kind of semester with having a baby in July and starting teaching my own classes in August. It's literally been sink or swim.  We've made little concessions over the last few months, that are fine. I mean you gotta do what you gotta do. But they're starting to add up and take a toll on our house, our family life, our health, and our marriage.  This week before Christmas and New Year's always seems to be this way for me.  We tried Fall and it didn't work so let's try some new things for Spring.  Summer is it's own beast. This week I've been reading Emily Ley's Grace Not Perfection  and Eric and I watch Minimalism  the new documentary from the guys who write The Minimalists   Both focus on the same thing: simplifying your life to make time and energy for what truly matters. In our discussions this week, Eric and I have come up with some thin...
