I had to take my first parent sick days this week. When Jeremy went to get Mac up Wednesday morning he noticed Mac had thrown up in the night, twice. He didn’t fuss or cry, didn’t wake us up, but when Jeremy found him lying in it (eww), he called me in the [...]

Thank you for your patience as I may have piqued your interest with my last post about Mac’s newest accomplishment. Here it is:
Video Length = 2:38
On his 11-month birthday, not at all on purpose, I brought him out in the hall with me after getting him ready for bed. I usually throw his [...]

Mac eats a lot. And he’s not too picky. We are very thankful for these things. But watching him eat is entertainment in and of itself.
Mac also has a new trick he started on his 11-month birthday, but I’m going to save that for a video - you have to see it - words don’t [...]

Here are a couple more videos from our visit to Madison over Christmas break. Mac sure likes animals of all kinds… for now! I’ve started uploading in the more compressed format by default now so that these videos load faster (and upload faster on my side). I know the quality isn’t quite as good, but [...]

This week I have morning bus duty at school. We have very specific rules for parents who are dropping off their kids, and for very good reasons. We are right next door to a high school and attached to a church that holds 8:00 a.m. Mass. Our kids arrive between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m., high [...]

At just a few days shy of 11 months, Mac has changed quite a bit! It’s strange how one month it seems like nothing has changed, and then all of a sudden there are spurts of growth and new learning.
He cut a few new teeth over the last week or so, but in a [...]

So we left off after Christmas day, when we were heading off to Madison for a few days. I wanted to try to connect with a few friends to fit in some visit time but also wanted to spend time with my Mom, Clare and the rest of the family in Madison. It’s really tricky [...]

Here is the video we took of Mac on Christmas morning (finally)! I had to export this one in a smaller more compressed format, so it might look different and smaller, but at least you get the whole thing. I edited out quite a bit - he’s still getting used to opening presents, [...]

We spent most of Christmas Eve with Jeremy’s mom and brother. While Mac slept quite a bit of the time, and we took a break to go to church, we did manage to catch some video of him opening a couple of presents and climbing the stairs! The tradition for us this day [...]

All of us Elferings went to visit Great-Grandma Flossie the Monday before Christmas. We were able to capture some of this priceless time on video…
Video Length = 2:51
When we got home, there was a package waiting for Mac from Oma & Opa. We also recorded him opening that, since they didn’t get to see it [...]
