That sweet, toothless grin that won’t be toothle

That sweet, toothless grin that won’t be toothless for long. The smile you reserve just for mama. The recognition that you suddenly understand what we’re saying, and the sweet babble that says “I want to be part of the conversation, too.” Noah bear, you are getting “sooo BIG” so fast!! 9 months today - as long out as you were in! These past 9 months have been beyond exciting and I treasure every moment watching you grow!

Tonight I put my first-born baby to bed for the la

Tonight I put my first-born baby to bed for the last time in our first home together - the home we brought him to when he was born, the first room he ever called his own, the first nursery I ever created. It’s the last time he’ll sleep here, the last time he’ll sleep in a crib, the last night in his first home. I sang him our special song and left his turtle star light on. He has no idea why this is so special to me, but maybe someday he will.
Ah, the memories we’ve created here! (like this one under our alphabet art) Saying goodbye to this home is just as hard as I imagined it would be and I’m definitely not really ready to say it yet.

There are a lot of things I’ll miss about my Gram, but I’ll miss her hugs the most.
You see, my Gram and Gramps were always so affectionate with each other, and I thought it was the best thing in the world! When I was a little girl, every time they would hug (often in the middle of the kitchen) I would run up to them with my arms in the air saying “me too, me too!” They would always oblige, lift me up in their hug and squeeze me tight between them. They loved me so much! They loved each other so much! That love helped shape who I am. I eventually got too big for them to lift me up, but never too big for their loving hugs.
On Wednesday, my Grandma DeSiato went to be with God and my grandpa, whom she missed every second of every day since he died 15 years ago. She was 94! She was funny, creative, hard-working, strong, and faithful! She was an amazing baker, and my time with her in the kitchen inspired my love of baking, and feeding a family. (The first 2 photos are from 10 years ago when she taught me to make several family holiday cookie recipes. Treasures!)
I’m so grateful she got to meet Daniel in person, and sad that she only got to meet Noah via FaceTime, but there is no doubt in my mind that she loved them both just as much as she loved me. She was so proud to be a great grandma! “GG loves you!” is a refrain she repeated often when she talked to the boys, and one that I will make sure they know, always.
Thursday would have been my grandfather’s 97th birthday, and I like to think that’s why God called Gram home on Wednesday - so Gramps could finally have his bride there to celebrate with him.
She and her cookies and her creativity and her silliness and her hugs will be missed! We love you, GG!!

We did it (virtually)!! The #harpoon5miler is always such a good time, but Brian and I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it together if it weren’t virtual, so it was extra fun to get the whole family out for a run today (and smell the lilacs!). This one felt even more like my Morher’s Day than last Sunday! (Check out stories for our post-race dance party.😂) #harpoonhelps #runningalonetogether

It’s a privilege. Who I am, where I am, what I get to do. I realize that’s all a privilege I certainly take for granted most of the time. Not today. 2.23 (plus a step) of #runningalonetogether #irunwithmaud

Today would have been my Papa’s 97th birthday. He died when I was 10, but so many memories of him shine brightly always. Especially the times I spent with him tucked away in the pizza room of his restaurant’s kitchen, learning to make pizza and soaking up all his love for me. We had pizza for dinner tonight. Cheers, Papa.

I took some time to clean out my spice cabinet (ew, rosemary from 2014🥴) and restocked with new spices in beautiful, sustainable packaging from @thespicehouse which shipped for free because I ordered all flatpacks. So excited to spice up this quarantine!
