My Once Upon a Time...

I always enjoy reading other people's "A day in the Life" posts, so I thought I would do one myself. It'll be fun for me to look back at this a few years from now and seeing how life was like with a two year old! So here we go with a bunch of random pictures from February 22nd, 2017! My day started at 4:50am, so I snapped a quick screenshot. I always start work at 5am, so I headed into the living room, let our dog out, put on the TV and got cozy under the blankets on the couch.  I worked for 1.5hrs before I wrapped up and went to take a shower and got ready for the day This guy got up around 7am that morning and we had breakfast. His wake up times are very hit and miss these days, it could be as early as 6:30am or as late as 9am, although we would usually wake him up before that if it's a school day! On this morning, I had an early doctor's appointment, so Katie took Fox to school and I left at 7:30am for my appointment. Holy traff...

Happy Valentine's Day from our family to yours! He will always be my Valentine!

Life Lately has been busy and while nothing too exciting has happened, I wanted to update my little blog before another month goes by! Can you guys believe it's February? So here is a random post with a few pictures from our month! At the beginning of January Hannah left us to go back to Germany. I was always worried about the day she would leave, but we got into our new routine pretty seamlessly and it has been great. While we loved having her here, it also feels awesome to have the house to ourselves again, something we didn't have for a very long time. My work schedule changed so we could accommodate Fox's school hours. He goes to school five mornings a week and has to be picked up by 12:30pm. The reason we decided not to leave him there for the afternoons is because the difference between half days and full days is a nap and a snack and we couldn't see why we should pay $400 extra a month for a nap that he doesn't even take anymore (he would have to stay o...

This is one of my favorite projects I did all year...246 days (started April 30th)...1 second video every day. This was our life in 2016.

Day 358 Fox had a buddy over to play and after being sick and couped up in the house for the last week, he was so excited to play with someone other than us! Day 359 Fox and I went to the candlelight service on Christmas Eve and they gave him a glow stick instead of a candle. He was mesmerized by the singing and every time they would finish a song, he would stuff that little glow stick in between his legs as fast as he could so he could clap. It was so cute to watch and the service was beautiful, it was my favorite part of the day.  Day 360 This is what Christmas looked like at the Jones House! Day 361 Fox was very surprised that Santa wasn't at his usual spot in the mall when he went to the play place with Hannah. Day 362 Katie sent me this picture while I was grocery shopping to make me jealous that she got Fox cuddles. I'm sure the cuddles lasted all of 5 seconds before he was over it, based on his face...ha! Day 363 When I g...
