I have logged in a few times over the last few weeks and sat here & thought- wow it’s been so long since I’ve written that I don’t even know where to start. And summarizing just makes it sound silly. But, in all honesty, that’s probably where this post is headed. Today Scott had a [...]

Among the things contained in yet another awesome weekend: Getting Celia’s. Hanging at The Circle. Going to visit Lisa & bring her cannolis. Getting a mani/pedi- FINALLY! Playing outside with the water table. Running from wasps. 4 mile bike rides where we never actually get to the destination. Cooking for my family. Hudson deciding to [...]

Watching my children interact with each other is the most heart wrenchingly beautiful thing I have ever seen. Though Hudson tends to push Truman & Sawyer down- Yells “MINE!” as he steals THEIR toys from their hands, he is in love with them. I know he is in love because of the moments I see them together when [...]

Things have been very exciting around the Brandt household lately. We are all feeling better & the house has been buzzing with the excitement of Scott’s birthday, Truman & Sawyer’s 1st birthday, their party & the fact that they are officially walkers!! It started a day or two ago when Truman walked about three steps [...]

The Brandt 5 are all feeling much better. Much MUCH better. I think I may have been going a bit stir crazy after a solid month of being sick coupled with several weeks of sick babies on medications & trips to the doctor’s office & the ER. I find myself taking every single opportunity to [...]

I was thankful in 2008. I was thankful in 2009. And guess what?! 2010 is no different. Except it is. Because I have grown as a person & a mother & a wife & and… andd… There is just MORE. The capacity in my heart is MORE. Yes, I am grateful for my husband, my [...]

Thursdays we have dinner at my dad’s house. We go pretty much every Thursday, but last Thursday Scott got home earlier than usual. & since we’ve been heading to new parks any chance we get, we decided to take the kids to the park on my dad’s block. We parked & unloaded all the kids [...]

Today, my internet & real-life friends: Is my wonderful step-father’s birthday. Georgie is in my top 6 dudes ever, along with my hubs, brother, dad & my two adorable penis-having offspring. That’s saying a lot. I was a bad daughter today & rather than send his card- I was lazy & decided to give it [...]

I took a picture of Scott pushing Hudson over this bridge in the San Mateo Japanese Tea Garden when he was just about a month old. & now? Hudson points & exclaims “FISH!” Times have changed. Serious. A LOT of change. My oldest? Is almost 2 years old.
