Spending time in our backyard hosting friends is one of our favorite ways to spend a summer evening. We’ve decided to prioritize our backyard so we can take advantage of the good weather while it lasts. The landscaping is coming along slowly but surely, and the design includes lots of crisp lines with a few curves here and there around our garden beds.

All the girls are good about giving him a pacifier when he needs it, but Evelyn has really been the best helper. She’s very proud that she can pick him up and walk around. He’s had a few 3 hour blocks of sleep at night, but mostly he’s up every 2 hours, which means I’m up every 2 hours, which means being tired has become part of my personality. I’m expecting a real smile from him any day now.

I grew up eating fairly healthy, but since becoming a mom, I’ve become more curious about how nutrition plays a part in health.
