Oh Trygve, our dear little buddy. He’s funny, silly even at this age. He knows a few things to make you laugh and he’ll do them at the most inopportune time just to make you smile and laugh at him. He has loved his pacifier (his paci) forever, and it was hard when about […]
Every time something is missing Sig says “It’s got to be here somewhere!” Nat: Did you seriously just throw that? Sig: Totally. Sig is tickling Patrick – Sig tickles, Patrick laughs. Sig tickles, Patrick laughs. Sig tickles, Patrick is quiet. Sig: Daddy – I tickle, you laugh. Sig tickles, Patrick laughs. Sig: All better! […]
Thinking of what to write about, I thought it would be kind of fun to tell you about a day in the life of Sig. We start out in the morning with lots of smiles, snuggles and play time. Then we eat breakfast Sig watches her favorite show, “Blue’s Clues” while Mom takes a shower. […]

As the days fly by, I think of our little blog so often when I’m in the middle of doing dishes, working or snuggling a sick kid for the 10th time since we woke up 3 hours ago. I feel sad for missing out on capturing the memories of the day and I find a […]
Today, as Sig is having meltdown after tantrum after meltdown, I am thankful for my time with Tryg. Sig went down for her nap a startling hour early so I get some real time with him (and I’m spending part of it blogging, sorry buddy) but man, I did not appreciate how easy it was […]
I was finishing my workout and I heard Tryg giggling. I literally did the last exercise and then went to see what was so funny. He was in the bathroom and that was a brand new double roll of toilet paper… Hard to be too mad when he looks at me like that then spins […]
As Sig and I talk about 5 times daily, here’s the plan. To feel like I’ve caught this blog up on our lives it’s been so long removed from, I’m going to do a post on each kid, one on Patrick and I, one on our move and one on our current family life. That’ll […]
