Noun) def: a gathering of one or more Switzers where nonsense is aplenty and laughter is guaranteed. Monday, March 23, 2015. Warmer Weather = Happy Girls. It is FINALLY showing signs of spring around here. The girls and I have been going outside as much as possible to enjoy the warm weather. Our house here in Jacksonville has a HUGE backyard and deck, but we haven't really gotten much use out of them since we moved here in October. Here's some recent pictures from our outdoor activities.

Sunday, July 19, 2015. Doster's Second Birthday Party. Parties have sure changed a lot over the last few years, am I right? While we may have traded adult beverages for juice boxes, the true makings of a good party are still there: good people! We were so blessed to have our family and friends join us for Doster's second birthday party. It was the perfect combination of old friends and new friends, for Doster and us! After that was squared away, we ordered the invitations, along with a few other this, fr...

Monday, June 23, 2014. Dear Doster- 12 Months. Everyone warned me how quickly time would fly once you arrived. I hate to say it, but they were right. Each day I find myself holding our moments together very tightly! I’m making a real effort to stay in the moment with you, and it is very rewarding. You are such a cool customer. You laugh, you point, you crawl, you wobble, you amaze me! We had an amazing birthday party for you, but I think I will do a separate post on that one later. You are a pull-up mach...

Sunday, August 3, 2014. So, I've had this one written for weeks in the draft folder, and I can't remember why I never published it. I think. I was holding out to get some extra pictures and video from our parents. The few that I snapped on my phone will have to suffice for now. Here's to a Sunday night on blogger! Since it has been a few weeks since Doster’s first birthday party, I thought I would take a few minutes and jot down my memories before they fade even more. Ready for his party! My brother, Unc...

Wednesday, February 11, 2015. James and I LOVE waking Doster up in the mornings. We don't technically "wake him" ; he's usually playing in his crib. But we both really enjoy going to get him, playing with him in his crib for a few minutes, talking, maybe singing a song. all that fun stuff. Thursday, 1/1 Paci.

Sunday, April 19, 2015. 22 Months and Rockin. I can hear you talking yourself to sleep in your room as I type this. What a joy! You continue to brighten our lives each and every day. It keeps getting better and better. Now that you are talking more, life is much more entertaining. You amaze me constantly with thoughts that you put together. You are so tiny, yet have such big ideas. I love that you are playful and that you are the perfect combination of "rough and tumble" and pure sweetness. You were a li...

Sunday, March 16, 2014. Dear Doster - 9 Months. The days are going by so quickly! I can’t believe you are already 9 months old. You still feel so new to me, but in a way it seems like we have been connected forever. We had a fun month and got to spend extra time together during ANOTHER snow day! This doesn't usually happen in South Carolina, buddy. That allowed us to spend extra time making some cute Valentines for your class. I felt like such creative mom for once! You were very good at facetime! I̵...

Monday, September 15, 2014. Dear Doster - 15 Months. You have stolen my heart and I think you will keep it in your palm forever. I feel like my heart could burst open because it is so full of love for you! It’s a bond that I’ve never experienced and won’t even try to put in to words. I’m constantly amazed at your sweet demeanor. You are so loving and happy. You usually only fuss at bedtime (some nights) and during school drop offs (more on that later). Avocado, Scrambled Eggs, Banana, Chicken Salad.

Thursday, May 15, 2014. Dear Doster - 11 Months. Another month is over, so hard to believe! This was month was amazing yet we had some more challenges. For a week straight you had trouble sleeping, lost your appetite, winced in pain, and were overall just pretty miserable. We could tell you wanted. To be better. It broke my heart. Luckily, we’ve turned a corner and you are back to being your pleasant baby-self. I missed my happy guy! Your buds at Avery's 2nd Birthday Party! After your nap, we headed out ...
