About Me

My photo
My husband, Kyle, and I are the proud and busy parents of two little boys, Kaleb and Jacob. Kaleb joined our family in December 2009 and we welcomed Jacob in April 2012. We both work full time outside the home, I am in the field of Learning and Development. I have a passion for studying the brain and how we learn, which translates beautifully to watching my boys grow up and discover their worlds. I'm also into learning about nutrition, herbalism, food-as-medicine, natural alternatives, and homeopahtic remedies. I hope to provide an uncut view of what life is really like as a working mom, minus the instagram filters and facebook bragging...I'll save that for facebook ;)

Kaleb's week at Grandma and Grandpa Remsburg's house

To capture the fun-filled week Kaleb spent at the Remsburg's house while we were in Jamaica, I'm going to just copy and paste in the great email updates that Annette sent me throughout the week.

Hi Sarah and Kyle,

We had a pleasant stroll, a fun bath (after loading and re-loading the little truck with wood chips) and a nice normal bedtime. Everybody we saw on our walk says he is sooo cute with his big brown eyes!

Tomorrow we plan to be at the Gardens for morning play time and then home for a nap.We appreciate all of the instructions and equipment you provided.

Have a great trip...congrats to Kevin!!

Love,

Gwamma and Papa

Hi guys,

Hope you have arrived at your destination and found it to be as beautiful as you remembered. Here's just a few quick notes about our busy day:
first had a big breakfast and then checked out the big trucks and backhoes on the construction site;
10 - 12 at the Gardens where Kaleb helped out with storytime and climbed the treehouse stairs a couple times;
nap and good lunch;
Cascade library petting zoo and playtime;
good snack and another stroll (and another brief nap);
not much dinner but drank his milk by bedtime (now).

Tomorrow morning we plan to go to stroytime at the library for toddlers 3 and under and grab some swimmie dipes if the weather is good.

Lots of rain this eve--our road looked like a river. Hope your weather is great!!

Love,

Papa and Gwamma

Hi Sarah and Kyle,

We just wrapped up a nice day; filled with a variety of things to do. After a cucumber and fruit, yogert and peanut toast breakfast, we went to the kids time at the library (lots of kids to watch and interact with) then couple shopping stops. A good lunch, great nap and a walk in between rain showers and that covered the afternoon. This eve, we headed to a fun night at church. This included face painting, (Kaleb had a butterfly painted on the back of one hand...but that wasn't enough so the second hand had to get a butterfly too...wow; very cool!), jumbo chalk coloring, dancing, and a nice meal wrapped up with Culvers ice cream (yogert). Bedtime was relatively smooth and peaceful with favorite books on Gwanma's lap.

We're now having R & R before hitting the sack.

We trust the swim up refreshment stand is getting plenty of business and dive outing was enjoyable and fun.

Love,

Pa Pa and Gwanma R

Friday, 6/24

We hope you're having a great time. As we recall, the wedding was scheduled for today...hope it went off without a hitch, so to say. We also hope your weather has been better than around these parts. It's been a very wet and cool week. The sun has come out in just the last little bit; first time in several days and we barely made it into the mid 60's. But that hasn't slowed us down any. We're getting in plenty of play time, several walks each day and good book-time and great eats too. Kaleb seems to be managing his PaPa and Gwanma pretty well. He tells us 'more', 'outside', 'passy' and other very important instructions. Our neighbors just can't believe how adorable he is and very expressive too. He is always ready to say 'Hi' and 'Bye'.

With a great looking forecast coming, we plan to head to Stony for Sat and Sun and return midday Mon. Everything is going very well and we can tell how well you have done with him and encouraged his sense of wellbeing and exploration.

Our love,

PaPa and Gwanma R
