In my previous post I shared all about our trip to Paris that we took at the end of May. I gave more of an overview of my thoughts on the trip, but this post (and the next one) will be more of a photo journal of what we did each day. It's quite picture … Continue reading Paris Travel Journal: Photo Diary I
Our family just got back from a weeklong vacation in Paris. *Sigh.* It was bliss! This was our first time going back since we moved away almost 3 years ago. We lived in the heart of the city for 2 years, until July 2019. We had planned to go back shortly after returning to the … Continue reading Paris Travel Journal: Trip Overview
I said it. I'm not harping on the Mona Lisa, she's cool and all. Actually, I could spend a lot of time examining her from different angles and pondering how her eyes can follow me wherever I go. But she's by far not my favorite thing to see in the Louvre. And I want to … Continue reading 10 Things to See in the Louvre that Are Better than the Mona Lisa

(Also I wish I had more pictures to break it up but we honestly took none once actual labor … Continue reading Arthur’s Birth Story: Part II
Arthur Thomas Jackson is here!! He was born on July 13, 2021 at 7:44am weighing 7lbs 7oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. I can't even believe it. Pregnancy is this long waiting game of now and not yet. My baby guy lived in my belly and I bonded with him and felt his kicks and … Continue reading Arthur’s Birth Story: Part I
Wow, it feels like such a long time has passed since the last update! The third trimester has been so interesting, as I expected. The first two are pretty straightforward - the first trimester was nausea and fatigue and lying low, the second was fairly normal energy and lots of dreaming about what's to come, … Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 3rd Trimester
21 weeks - my favorite picture of the little-but-visible bump! 28 weeks on the beach in St. Augustine Note: I started writing this when I was 22 weeks, and then proceeded to spend all my spare time & energy working on the baby registry for the next 2-ish months (it's like a part-time job!), so … Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 2nd Trimester

We like almost any kind of museum - fine art, science, natural history - whatever it is, we want to learn about it.
