CL8N CAMP: December 2010

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Nearing the end of Little Bug's gestation. We're nearing the end of this pregnancy in the next few days (I hope) and are getting really excited to meet this new little person! But if we're being completely honest, we're also a little freaked out anticipating all the changes we'll be making in the coming weeks. But everything will work itself out.of this we are certain! T seems as though we will be missing out on any sort of tax credits this year as birthing does not seem at all imminent! We celebrated Ch...

CL8N CAMP: September 2010

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Our ladies have started laying! So far, we've gotten 7 eggs over the last week! They are called 'pullet eggs', meaning they are on the small side, but will get to their 'normal' size over the next few weeks. Pullet eggs are still edible.it just takes a few more of them to make a decent scramble! So, our foray into urban chicken raising has finally paid off! And it's pretty exciting! Soon, we won't be making any egg purchases at our local grocery store as we'll be fed solely from our ladies! I'm writing t...

CL8N CAMP: January 2011

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

2 weeks of 2 kids. We're doing pretty good here at Cl8n Camp. Sure. Been some hard moments but overall, the adjustment has been pretty smooth! Wren is now just over 2 weeks old! My, oh my, how time is flying by! Aside from a couple sleepless nights, Wren is pretty much on a 'normal' schedule.meaning she is only up twice a night between 11 PM and 7 AM.not too shabby! She's had a couple episodes of grumpy belly which led to the sleepless nights, but overall her little system seems to be working quite well!

CL8N CAMP: February 2011

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

It's been 5 VERY long weeks since I posted last. It's not that I haven't wanted to post. Or than I haven't had anything to share. On the contrary, there has been ample of both. Simply put.I'm exhausted. I'm so tired and worn down, even my hair hurts! This should probably not have come as a surprise to me. But it has. Yep, Wren is not Lelia. NOT. AT. ALL. There could not BE a more polar opposite experience to Lelia's early infancy than Wren has presented. Black and white. There have been MANY times in the...

CL8N CAMP: March 2010

Scrunchy-nosed grin and finger foods. A few weeks ago Lelia started sharing a new smile with us. A scrunchy-nosed, head-thrown-back, eyes-squinted kinda smile. It was hysterical and we constantly encouraged her to repeat it over and over again. I guess we encouraged her A LOT, because she's started doing it more and more frequently. Actually, all the time. Now it's to the point where she just can't help herself! She scrunchy-nose smiles at EVERYONE. Talk about hammin' it up! A gummy, scrunchy-nosed smile.

CL8N CAMP: June 2011

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Catch-up.the photo dump edition. It's been a crazy busy couple of months. I'm sure that has NOTHING to do with the two busy, growing, little girls in our household coupled with my return to work. Nah. That just can't be it. A quick re-cap of the. Lelia is now just over 22 months old. She's got a second birthday in less than two months! Where has the time gone? In looking over photos of the past several months, I can definitely see. She has amazing rolls on her chubby rolls. LOVE IT! Cheese" with two fussy.

CL8N CAMP: August 2010

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Phew or I'm so stinkin' tired my hair hurts. It's been a very L-O-N-G month since our vacay down to Santa Barbara. Seems like a lifetime ago, actually! And not in a good way! Lelia has been a nightmare lately. My sweet girl, who is usually the smiley-est happiest kiddo has been making whining seem like an art form. What? Where's my sweet happy baby gone? I don't know how to cope with a baby that doesn't sleep! No wonder she's been screaming like a banshee! The good news is.we have a lovely week of va...

CL8N CAMP: September 2011

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Beach trip in hipstamatic. As always, i've been a very bad blogger. it's been over 3 months since my last entry. oy! But instead of trying to play catch-up (although i might do an all photo entry with some of my favorite photos of the summer) i figured i'd just start from, well, now! Wren's new trick.pulling herself up on things/people. Nevermind the fact that she can't crawl yet. or roll over. Someone L-O-V-E-S the beach. Papa and lelia playing in the sand. Taking in the scenery. Playing in the sand.

CL8N CAMP: January 2012

http://cl8n.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

We welcomed Margeaux Wren. 8 lbs 11.5 oz and 21 inches. As we expanded to a family of four. And a Papa's heart and hands were full. We began to understand unconditional love. In a way we hadn't known before. And we relished the wonder of new life. And we were tired. But we tried to keep our sense of humor along the way. We began a love affair with cooking. And of quiet times. We got frustrated sometimes. But mostly we were joyful. And snuck in naps when we could. And started an obsession with the beach.
