Three Weeks Old

Jill | June 26, 2010

My biggest regret at this point is that I haven’t taken nearly enough pictures!  I got some from my mom, but I should have my camera attached to me…
Mac is still doing really well.  He is interacting more with Vivian when she’s on the floor or in her bouncy seat.  He likes to cover [...]

Family Weekend in Madison

Jill | April 29, 2010

Mac and the girls made the trip to Madison this past weekend to celebrate Emily’s First Communion.  Jane and Mac and I traveled together on Friday arriving in time for dinner and a late bedtime for the little guy.  He did extremely well on the trip there.
He got to play with his cousins quite a [...]

Christmas Season 2009

Jill | December 29, 2009

Wow, it’s been a busy holiday!
It all started last week with the beginning of my school break.  Jeremy’s work is slow right now too, which usually means lots of family time over the holidays.  We had his family parties the two weekends before, one at our house and the other at a cousin’s.  Mac [...]

Allergies!

Jill | August 21, 2009

Well, we got the results of Mac’s allergy tests. And boy am I glad we didn’t wait. He has a significant allergy to peanuts, as expected, but he is also allergic to egg whites! This is apparently another common pediatric allergy. We keep thinking of lots of foods he’s had that on [...]

First Haircut!

Jill | July 26, 2009

This past week, Mac and I spent time in Madison with my family.  Jeremy had to work for some of the time so stayed home.  I was also able to visit with some friends and have some down-time.  It was great!  We even had a bonus couple of days with my Mom since coincidentally [...]

Three Days Later…

Jill | July 1, 2009

I just haven’t had the energy or time to blog about our next days here.  I’ve blogged… but it’s been for my work sessions!  I know this is a long post, but that’s the way it goes.
Sunday we slept in slightly after our late night, had a nice breakfast buffet at our hotel, then [...]

Two Days in Our Nation’s Capital

Jill | June 27, 2009

This year my national conference is in Washington, D.C.  I was very excited because I had never been to D.C. before!  I made the tough decision to leave Mac and Jeremy at home, but I did bring along some tour companions (my mom and Jo).  We arrived on Thursday in time to enjoy a great [...]

Catching Up With Summer

Jill | June 17, 2009

We finally took our first trip to the pool last week, but it was pretty short-lived since it was colder than we expected once we got there. Mac loved the water, especially going under the sprinkler areas. It will be great to see how he does when he’s not turning blue after [...]

Home Again

Jill | April 1, 2009

Mac certainly seemed to settle right back in to his own bed when we returned from Madison last weekend.  What can I say?  The kid loves to sleep, and we like it that way!  This week has been particularly interesting to peek at him after he’s gone to sleep for the night.  Check out Flickr [...]

Fun in MadTown

Jill | March 28, 2009

Mac and I travelled to Madison for a long weekend with Nana for the end of spring break.  Jeremy had to work out of town, so I thought I would take advantage of that time on my own for a nice long visit.  We’ve had a great time so far, and more fun is yet [...]
