It’s been a while. Our family is still as vibrant and close as ever. And every day it seems like there is a story. But we aren’t recording it so we are going to start making a record of this life again because it makes us happy now and will […]

Hi Everyone,Thanks so much for reading the (occasional) posts on this over the years. We’ve moved the blog to a different site name: https://peteyandellielivehere.samandcasey.com and will continue to post updates on the comings and goings of our family life from there!Thanks,Petey and Ellie (and everyone else)
Elijah! There is no way to explain how kids change your life. Before we had kids, everyone gave us the same song and dance about how it changes everything but we were blissfully unaware. On top of that, what you realize once you have more than 1 child, is that […]
Kids are so unpredictable and imaginative that it is truly mind blowing at times. I put Laina bed tonight while Sam tucked buddy in, and we went through our standard bedtime routine. We typically end the night by chatting about our day and playing “High, Low” where we talk about our favorite […]

Victoria spent the day with us again a couple weeks ago…this was her first time spending the day with us since Elijah was born. We had such a fun day with her, but I think she was especially worn out after hanging out with both kids 🙂 Hopefully she’ll want […]
We have a new home! Well, almost. We move in next month, and couldn’t be more excited. We started house hunting a few short weeks ago, and walked into this house on the first weekend we went out with our realtor. We knew we loved it when we were walking […]
