Welcome, Little Roo!

by melissa on February 27, 2010

Ethan Reese Culbertson entered this world on February 23 at 7:57 am… which is big brother Noah’s (Big Roo) third birthday! At 38 weeks along, he weighed in at 6 lbs. 9 oz and was 20 inches long. We’re home now and resting wonderfully (well, at nights are another story!). I’ll post his birth story [...]

And Then He Was Three (& an update)

by melissa on February 26, 2010

GUESS WHAT? I wrote this post on Monday night and planned to read over it one last time on Big Roo’s birthday (Tuesday) then post it live. Oh did life have other plans for me! I went into labor instead! Let me post this and then I’ll make my big announcement. I really enjoyed writing [...]

Honestly… The Honest Scrap Award

by melissa on February 19, 2010

I’ve been given the Honest Scrap Award by Debi, fellow outdoor adventurer and mom from Go Explore Nature. The Honest Scrap Award is more like a meme that you bestow someone with and then ask them to pass it along. I like this one because I get to share some honest things about me, which [...]

I snapped this shot just a couple of hours ago! There he was, perched on the fence in our backyard. Good thing my dog didn’t see him (he was upstairs snoring).

Dear Snow, I'm So Over You

by melissa on February 13, 2010

Dear Snow, I’m so over you right now. Why do you keep screwing up all my plans? Did I do anything to tick you off? Two weekends ago, you dumped over 5 inches of yourself all over my town and forced my baby shower to be postponed. Last weekend, you tried to scare me by [...]

Less Words Wednesday

by melissa on February 11, 2010

For Super Bowl Sunday, we piled leftover pork mole onto some tortilla chips, added some cheese, green onions, black beans, salsa and sour cream and – BAM- we had nachos! Big Roo thought it was fun that we sat up a table in the living room and ate in front of the TV. Good times.

Showered with Gifts, Not Snow

by melissa on February 8, 2010

My two sisters threw me a wonderful baby shower this past weekend. The bummer was that one of my sisters (middle sis) was stuck in the DC area under a mere 24 inches of snow and couldn’t make it down. The shower was actually scheduled for last weekend but the snow we got here in [...]

Big Roo & Snow- Day 2: Fun!

by melissa on February 1, 2010

Yesterday, I wrote about Saturday’s winter wonderland adventure gone south. Day One in the snow was a mega-fail. I wanted to try again on Sunday but was afraid that asking if he wanted to go play in the snow would be met with an emphatic NO. To my surprise, he nodded enthusiastically and said, “yah!” I’m [...]
