Wow, that went by fast. It’s hard to believe a year ago we were struggling to find a rhythm with Emmaline and now we are establishing a pace as a family of 4. I love looking back at all that’s happened within their first year, so join me as I walk down memory lane with […]

emmaline – 12 months old
Um, ah, eh, but, how? Emmaline is 12 months old. Officially 1!!!! I have all the feels! And apparently Emmaline does too 😛 Little Love was not a fan of me laying her down for this picture. Before we go into our regular monthly update, can we just look back at all of her […]
bump update :: 17 weeks
Week 17: Symptoms ::Baby P loves to eat. Thankfully I don’t get nauseous when I’m hungry like I did in the early days, but if I’ve gone a while without a filling something, I don’t feel good. I also really need to get to my maternity box because I feel like I’m wearing the same […]

Kylo is gone. We have a couple theories of what happened to him, but after checking animal shelters and waiting for his return, we’ve concluded the second part of the trio known as “the triplets” (Rylie, Kylo + Rey) is no longer with us. Being without a dog has felt somewhat unnatural to us, […]
being shaver kids || april 2019
April was a whirlwind. It started off in Illinois for Papa Freddie’s funeral and immediately went into Emmaline’s birthday and birthday party. From there we publicly announced our pregnancy and found out the gender. All in between the day-to-day and lots of discussions about our next steps as a family. With so much going on, […]
easter 2019
I love Easter! I love celebrating the extravagant love Jesus displayed. I love dying eggs and having hard boiled eggs for days afterwards. I love the Easter best you see families wear to church and I can never get enough of the poofy dresses little girls wear and the mini suits and tiny spiked hair […]
baby shaver #3 is a…
It hit me at my 12-week appointment when I saw our sweet baby on the cell phone sized portable ultrasound. “Who are you?” Every day I know Rylie is Rylie and Emmaline is Emmaline. But who was this baby? Was it our sweet boy or a precious girl? The last month of waiting to find […]
bump update :: week 16
Week 16: Symptoms :: Sleep was a struggle, I’ve been really thirsty this week and I could totally stay in my bed longer than I get to. Food Aversions :: Nothing specific Food Cravings :: Nothing specific Sleep :: I wasn’t sleeping super great so we broke out my pregnancy body pillow and I noticed a difference the first […]
book box – april 2019
What I love about our monthly Book Box is that it gives us a fresh variety to our bookshelves. We’ve been wanting more story books and “Let’s Go To Playgroup” was a great and fun addition. I love the vivid and detailed pictures as well as the sweet story. Rylie also really enjoys telling us […]
being shaver kids || march 2019
March pretty much revolved around selling our house. Packing, fixing, moving out, closing, all of it. We did catch some videos in the midst of the moving crazy, and I’m glad we did. Rylie’s big thing this month (and still) is “Rylie’s turn!” which is basically her way of insisting that she can do it. […]
