Goodbye Newborn, Hello 0-3

Hanging out this morning in her final newborn sleeper, helping me pack

This week I've started saying goodbye to many of Abigail's newborn clothes... and I've been oddly sentimental about the whole process.

She still fits in her newborn onsies and pants, but the tiny sleepers I cuddled her to sleep in those precious first weeks are now being packed away.

My most favorite, cuddly sleeper

So here's to the first two months and all the memories those tiny clothes held.

First day at home wearing newborn clothes.
After seeing this, we bought her some premie wear

She was so little that she'd tuck both legs into one side of her sleeper

A perfect fit

Abigail, you will always be our Littles, no matter how big you are! xx

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week. I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down. It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her? That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie, You were the first piece to my "own" family. I remember vividly the day I got you. It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag). I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family. Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
