Hike Through Life

Christmas break is officially here - hard to believe that we are 4 months in to this very different school year. I have let this blog slide yet again, and to be honest, I'm not sure this post will be all that exciting based on the slow pace of life these days, but at least the kids keep things entertaining (and loud and messy). I am definitely never bored....mostly just tired! Family Christmas photo 2020 - Can you guess whose face was photoshopped?

It's hard to believe it has already been 3 months since Juliet's arrival. We have managed to find somewhat of a routine in the last little while after a bit of adjustment to life with three kids - just in time for things to change again when school resumes in a few weeks. There's never is a dull moment!

It's been a little over a week since we brought Juliet Elise home from the hospital. While our world looks very different these days and preparing to bring a baby in during the time of COVID-19 has brought some uncertainty and a bit of anxiety, I couldn't feel more lucky to have a third little girl who is healthy and so loved in our home (and from a physical distance by all her other family members). Here is the story of her birth and a glimpse into our isolation experience over the past couple months. Juliet Elise - born at 5:12pm on May 10th, weighing 7lbs 7 oz. The nurses loved her little mask handmade by Daddy.

It's been a while since I've posted (a long while...turns out being at work full-time with two little kids makes it hard to find time for much else...), but in the interest of documenting life's milestones, it was about time.

I've come to the conclusion that being a parent is just one big time warp  - Some days can feel like an eternity when you are stuck inside the house with a teething baby and seemingly attention-starved preschooler - but man, does the year fly by! I must say, that seeing my "baby" turn one year old today, definitely brought on a few emotions :)
