My Weekends

By
I wish I took more pictures, but I either don't get out much or don't want to lug around a 5 lb camera. This kinda makes me sad. I'll get better when I have kids, promise. It's time for bed and he's already got the lights turned off and the alarm set. I love Saturdays of sleeping in, homemade breakfast, catch-up on TV episodes, couch cuddling etc... 

Fall is coming and I'm very excited for scarf season and the changing colors. Wait, I don't hear Mr Smith in bed. I hear his shaver going in the bathroom. Mr Smith loves facial hair, but he shaves for me, so he says. Maybe a little for church too. Shoot, that's the only time I wear a skirt and shave as well.

Life is still pretty simple here. I miss DC for the history, the possibilities and the beauty. I miss the DC temple terribly. But we like Winston-Salem. We knew DC was no longer the place for us, it's always nice to look back and know that we have good memories there. It's just not a place for a new couple who wants to save on bills and not stress over traffic & commuting. Winston-Salem will have part of our lives and then another place after that. Who knows where we'll end up, just trying to enjoy the ride! Which, can be difficult if we're too excited for the weekends to come. 

But oh man, do I love my weekends with Mr Smith.

The episodes we may or may not have watched today:

Once Upon a Time
Suits
Covert Affairs
White Collar

...what can I say...we love them all. 
TV is such an "in the moment" thing, I must admit. 
But while we have the time to relax, we'll take it.

      Whoops! I accidentally deleted my post. Here's what it said...

      We love White Collar too. So much so, that Logan is convincing me that if we ever have another baby, the girl's name would be Elle and the boy's name Neal. And then maybe get a dog named Mozzie. ;)

      Come visit Raleigh and go to the temple here. I know it's not D.C. (which is my favorite one), but you guys could go do a session and then have dinner at our place afterwards. Seriously. Think about it. We would love to have you two!

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

By
My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else.  Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...
