Long Lost Relatives
As we were digging through pictures of Grandma for her memory board, I realized which side of the family I got my love for pictures and photography – MY MOMS! I knew Grandpa Serck always had a camera hanging around his neck, but I had NO IDEA the obsession we share carried back many, many [...]
If today was your last day…
June 30, 2009 by Lisa Beth
I was lucky enough to have all four of my grandparents at my wedding in 2004. I was also blessed to have each one of these grandparents hold my first child in 2005. Grandparents are a blessing, often overlooked as we grow and start our own families. I was blessed enough to form close relationships [...]
Puppies Need Love Too
June 25, 2009 by Lisa Beth
Have I mentioned that we still have two Shelties? Well, we do, the poor things have been a little looked over the past few months, what with Brooklyn staking her claim and all. Chris, of course, still dotes on them just as much as he always has. I, on the other hand, have been feeling [...]
Rock-a-Bye
Uhg. Brooklyn has started getting up in the middle of the night again. What happened to my baby who never cries and sleeps 12 hours at night? Where did she go? At least she still doesn’t cry. Plus, we had a good run. 5 weeks old until 21 weeks old she gave me my sleep [...]
Splish Splash

Last weekend we were in Fargo for Maddy and Conner’s fourth birthday party…
….and fun was had by all. Wyatt LOVES playing with his cousins. And since I’m an only child, Chris’s brother will always be our only shot for cousins. I have so many awesome memories of playing with my cousins growing up, they were [...]
My Life as the Wife of an Outdoorsman

It takes a special kind of women to be married to an avid outdoorsman. I should know, I am one of them. If you know one of these outstanding women, after reading this please go buy her flowers, or at least give her a hug. We deserve it. We put up with a lot.
Chris and [...]
What’s in a name?
Brooklyn Anna Hustad has a very special meaning to her name. She was named after my dear friend’s daughter Anna Hazel who passed away in late November 2007, at 9 weeks of age. The minute I found out I was pregnant, I knew if I was blessed enough to have a baby girl, I wanted [...]
My baby is growing up . . .
Since Brooklyn is 20 weeks old today, I thought I’d make a short but sweet list of her personality thus far…
1. She is the happiest baby I’ve ever met.
2. All of the girls who work at her daycare want to take her home.
3. She spits up gallons (OK – teaspoonfuls) of formula at least 4 [...]
Plagiocephaly update
June 12, 2009 by Lisa Beth
Remember the curse of the flat head? Need a reminder, see this blog. Brooklyn has had her second recheck for her plagiocephaly and it looks good!
When we first had her evaluated for her flat head, she was in the severe category – helmet therapy recommended. We decided to try an extensive repositioning program to see [...]
Gotta go, gotta GO, gotta GO RIGHT NOW!
June 11, 2009 by Lisa Beth
It’s official. Yesterday was the last day I will ever drink two lattes in one day. EVER. Although the caffeine buzz I sustained all day long was awesome and I was super productive at work, I had some bladder issues that evening at softball.
**Warning – the following blog may contain TMI (too much information) for [...]
