The Eve of Los Porchs Amazing Holiday Wknd

Because we typically spend most of Christmas weekend crossing the entire state of Wisconsin, we tend to be homebodies in the weekends before the big road trip.

This is our time together to celebrate the holiday and relax.  So we prepared the way any normal couple would:  we headed to the grocery store to stock up on beer, breakfast, and meats for the grill.  Our weekend looks pretty amazing so I'm excited.

The one thing I'm not excited about?  We're exchanging gifts this weekend (don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about this exchanging of goods).... but not until Saturday evening when we're home from our day's adventure.  :-/  I'm ready right now.  I'm always ready right now.  In fact, I tend to struggle to wait this long.  I love the excitement of giving people gifts and I honestly think this is the reason I procrastinate sometimes.

While I can't really spill the beans here, I can tell you I'm pretty sure I win.

Porch?  Brought my gifts home today (he has them delivered to his office so he can prevent snooping).   They now sit under the tree, staring me in the face, taunting me.


That being said, I'm pleased to report that I have my own little secret.  I've had his presents (well, 5/6 of them) under the tree since the night we put it up.  He just doesn't know.  Or maybe doesn't care.  Likely both.


Tomorrow, Los Porchs celebrate Los Porchs Amazing Holiday Weekend & we'll kick it off with a pot of coffee and delicious breakfast.  Then we head to the Museum of Science and Industry to check out the Christmas tree display and Dr. Seuss exhibit.... and the rest of the fun exhibits !!

I can't wait to tell you all about the new puppy that Porch got me.  
I mean, clearly that's what's under the tree in that package on the left.

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth.

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?
