Calvin's Four Months
Happy F O U R M O N T H S to our big boy! I'm not going to dwell (read: SOB) on the fact that this time has truly flown by and I wish it would come to a screeching halt, but rather focus on all of this sweet boy's fun facts, milestones, and how he truly has brightened our family in ways we could've never imagined
The Sleep Trainer
"Calvin wants to sleep just like you and me. He just doesn't know how. We have to teach him." And it was with those words that I knew, Ashley was going to help us sleep train our boy.
The 2017 Highlights Reel
So I think it's pretty safe to say that 2017 will go down as one of my best years yet! Not quite sure how 2018 can even begin to hold a candle to the birth of our sweet little bundle, John adopting the bunnies, or mom and pip making the cover of Redbook! It was a whirlwind of year but in the most beautiful way imaginable
Our Adoption Story: We Are the Chappos
Man, gang, this one overwhelms me right from the start. Probably more so than Calvin's Birthstory, our Wedding Day, or any of my other personal posts. I'd say it's because October 18th was a day I never really thought imaginable I suppose. For those of you that have followed s + s for sometime, you're well aware of our journey...and you've been supportive as hell throughout it all. But for those of you that are new, I won't dwell on the past, but the gals and I have overcome our fair share of heartache in recent year's past
Calvin's Favorite Things
We've had our sweet bundle for a little over five weeks now so I though it was high time to chat up some of Calvin's Favorite Things. The list is (kinda) long, but then again, in the world of baby--the gear is 'a plenty! Each of these items have been given Calvin's Seal of Approval aka--he digs 'em..which means Mom digs 'em
Newborn Story: Calvin's Birthday
How does the saying go....."If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." Well, it seems that on October 14, 2017 both God and Calvin had a good chuckle! Hang tight on this one gang, she'll be personal, emotional, and a touch lengthy but I'll wrap it up with some of my favorite shots from the day.
Sealed with a School Kiss
We're about two weeks into the Back to School scene, and I think we've finally gotten into our groove. We've all adjusted to the earlier morning wake up call, the afternoon activities, and the nighttime hustle. A solid rhythm indeed. The bunnies have been a little more into their fashion scenes this year than year's past
Summer Gets Schooled
In light of our summer coming to close (I know--tragic isn't it), I wanted to give a little family update as we are on the brink of M A N Y changes here in the near future. First and foremost, this summer has been one of my absolute favorites
Gender Reveal: The Baby Blue
"Y E S! Yes, I want to know the gender!" I squealed to my doc upon receiving the results of our genetic testing. Hells to the No do I have the capacity to wait until D-Day. And so without further ado, she said
Pregnancy Announcement: Our Party of Five
Oh goodness, gang, I've waited for quite some time to post this bad boy up! And I truly couldn't be more elated and just straight up over the moon to share that the Chappo Crew is going to welcome a new little bundle this October
Let's Reflect
Alright, gang, as we close out 2016, it's only natural that we do a little reflection on the year and take a trip down 2016 Memory Lane. Now some will say 2016 was a bit of a bust be it for political reasons or what have you. I, on the other hand, am claiming 2016 as one of the best
The Family Photoshoot
Isn't the time leading up to family pictures so wonderful? No. No it's not. Not at all. It never fails I turn into a bit of a gremlin as we're trying to get ready to get out the door
The Artwork
Before we chat up the amazing new prints we received from Minted, let's get y'all up to speed on where we all began with this condo
Neutrals & Nuptials
We're going to very quickly chat about this adorable FRINGE ROMPER (orig from Morton James) prior to getting a little sentimental today. So if you're here for the fashion, you may wanna jump ship after this paragraph
The New Chapter
Oh goodness, gang, has this post been a long one in the making! We'll get to the new site revamp here in a bit, but first, how 'bout a little status update on yours truly.
