the smallest chef

Eli enjoys to do a little cooking now and then. His style definitely draws from a strong French bistro foundation, though he brings the energy and spice commonly found in Southeast Asian cuisines. Basically, that boils down to the fact that this bowl is filled with flour, sugar, and black pepper.

baby wyatt’s first days

Wyatt Isaiah Burns was born May 1, 2013 at 10:16pm. Clocking in at 6 lbs. 9 ounces, and 19 1/4″ long. That’s 3 ounces heavier than Eli, and a 1/4 inch longer, for those keeping track at home. The first few days have been wonderful, and Wyatt has adjusted well to the outside world… I […]

do you like your tummy?

If you haven’t heard already, baby Wyatt was born on May 1st! Fun baby pics to come soon, but I wanted to share this little moment. I really tried to get this post up the other day (before Wyatt was born) but one thing led to another and it didn’t happen. Eli had this conversation […]

christmas catch-up

We had a fun time visiting family and friends over Christmas this year, and I think we saw pretty much everyone we could have possibly seen. Eli enjoyed his first Christmas and all that goes with is – tearing open presents, eating tissue paper, enjoying bows and ribbons over the toys he received – you […]

fall family fotos

Our friend Tiffany took some fun fall pictures of us a couple weeks ago just when the Nashville leaves were at their peak. It was our first real “photo session” since Eli was just a couple weeks old, and the challenges of keeping his attention were entirely different than they were nine months ago. Happy […]
