It’s Fall, Ya’ll!

Today we visited Gentry’s Farm in Franklin, TN. It’s a family-owned farm with a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hay rides, and lots of things for little ones to do. Jake was in heaven. He ran around in circles, yelling “Whoa!” seemingly oblivious of the 50-degree weather. I kept wishing for my gloves and a big [...]

Happy Birthday, Grams!

Happy Birthday, Grandma G! We hope your day is super special. 
Love, 
Matt, Jen, and Jakob E.

What’s for Dinner?

Spaghetti is most certainly Jake’s favorite meal . . . ever. When this boy starts eating spaghetti, he pretty much zones out and focuses only on the food in front of him. Okay, well, he does that at every meal, but he truly LOVES spaghetti. He does. He really does.
Last week I made baked spaghetti, [...]

“Lellow” . . . and all those other colors

In an effort to capture some of our favorite moments of the last few months, here are a few videos from last week. Jake is learning his colors and is doing pretty well. He loves “lellow” the best, but grows more fond of “Guh-reeeen” every day. 
Now if there was just a way to video him [...]

We’re Baa-ack.

Wow! That was quite a blogging break. After a much needed (5 month–gulp) break, I’ve been feeling the urge to blog again. I have missed out on some of the BEST highlights of Jake’s life, but I’ll try to catch up. Such FUN this boy is. He is now 20 months old and walking, talking, [...]

A little announcement

I am now a shop owner! Well, of a virtual shop, that is, called Wee Little House. 
You can find my shop at: www.weelittlehouse.etsy.com. I’ll be adding new things to the shop over the next few days, weeks, and months until it’s stocked with handmade or found items by Yours Truly.
This is something I’ve been wanting [...]

First Haircut

On Saturday, March 21st, Jake had his very first professional haircut by Amanda at Cognito. I have cut his little tail in the back and wings on the sides, but I wasn’t brave enough to tackle his little comb-over that was happening on top. So, I had an appointment that day and asked Matt to [...]

one little monkey

Jake and I spent the night at my mom and stepdad’s house one night last week while Matt was away. It’s always such a tricky ordeal to get out of the house with a one year old because he uses my busyness as an opportunity to get into everything. Usually he drags all of the [...]

just me and jakob e

Matt was out of town last week on a work trip, so that left just me and jakob e at home together. It was a surprisingly easy week. But considering Jake had a terrible stomach bug the week prior, anything else would be a breeze. (That week goes down in history as our worst week [...]

Buggy

I apologize for the lack of posting lately. Jake has had a pretty nasty stomach bug all week, and we’re still in the throes of it. I finally got him out of the house yesterday to go see my mom. I needed a break. After he sufficiently stunk up her entire house, we came home [...]
