I waited until the last moment to write this blog post to see if Hilde would be here before or after this date. The photos were taken August 13th in the afternoon and I am writing this now at 5 pm MT. So baby girl could still show up in the 12 hours before this post goes live but I've got to write it at some point ;) Did you know that 95% of babies are NOT born on their due date?! That means if you were born on your due date you are one of the 5%!!! The not knowing exactly when she is coming ... continue reading...

9 Books to Add to your Little Girl’s Collection
We asked for books from family and friends at Hilde's showers just because both Bruce and I love to read. We really wanted to encourage and inspire learning in our little girl's life. We thought building up her book collection from the beginning would be so fun. Plus her room has so many nods to other great novels - Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the Chronically of Narnia. We bought three shelves and got so many books for kids that they are already over flowing (see photograph evidence)... ... continue reading...
