Other:

With the flu, cold, and teeth coming in Maggie has been up at least once, sometimes twice during the night for the last five to six weeks.  She's usually very hungry.

We're ramping up solids during the day with puffs, cheerios, and a sampling of whatever we're eating for that meat.  She much prefers this to purees. 

Maggie is fantastic with her sippy cup. 

When Eric is feeling brave he will put both girls in the bath tub together. This is especially fun now that Maggie sits and splashes along with Evie.

It takes a few tries but she can go from sitting to crawling position.

Started standing with help or when propped up

We packed up the Exersaucer and play mat with our last attic trip. It's time she really work on crawling and scooting around.

Maggie loved Christmas. She enjoyed the extra snuggles with all the family, the bright lights, and most especially eating the wrapping paper!

My favorite part of the day is when Evie getting Maggie to belly laugh.

Just for fun, visit our other monthly updates!

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...
