Freckles & Bones

Sniff. Sniff. Hmmm… Smells like new paint

// February 27th, 2010 // Comments // News

That’s right. FrecklesandBones.com finally has a fresh coat of paint. Or to be more precise and new theme from Woo Themes and some fun new fonts from via TypeKit. For those non web geeks out there reading this, it means we can might the site “pretty.”

Both Andrea and I have been so busy with out other sites this one started collecting some dust. Andrea has been hitting it hard on her new natural baby product and cloth diaper site, littlesquigglers.com. I of course still have yourappletrainer.com for my business but I have been playing around with some new sites.

The first is mactrainer.tumblr.com This simple blog I am using to help Mac users around the web by posting short little how-to screen-cast videos for free. So far I’ve been able to help a lot of people on Twitter and Facebook.

My other more ambitious project is stwoknews.com This site was born out of frustration for our currently local news coverage online. You can read my rant post for more details.

2010 is the year both Andrea and I will work hard at our core businesses. Everything else we are throwing up against the wall to see what sticks.

This refresh is a work in progress so stay tuned for more little tweaks and changes.

Ainsley Jane Growing Up

// June 2nd, 2009 // Comments // Baby, Family, News

So our baby girl is already growing and changing so fast! We feel so blessed to enjoy these precious times and we thank everyone who has sent us prayers, food, gifts, and help! It does take a village!

We have updated our photo gallery and will continue to do so throughout the year so make sure to check out upcoming weeks and months of our family photos!

Last weekend Ainsley got to meet her other Grandparents and just fell in love with them, it was great to have Chris’ parents here in Stillwater, OK. We also had Ainsley’s baptism since Chris’ folks were down so we have added those photos as well to our gallery!

My brother Philip and his wife Aleia are expecting in July and unfortunately I had to miss her shower last weekend but I will make sure to get up to Kansas City once they welcome their new baby into the world!

We hope everyone is doing great and we will try to keep you updated!

Love,

Andrea (Freckles)

The best Musical

So Chris, baby A., and myself had an amazing weekend and a very stressful start of this week! Grammy & Grampy Maciula took the whole family to the Lion King in OKC, and The Mantle for dinner! It was extraordinary.
Saturday, April 25th: First the food at The Mantle was excellent, served well, and the atmosphere was great! Second, the VIP seats that we had for the Lion King were amazing. I was crying the first five seconds from the awe inspiring sounds and sights of the play! Ainsley was turning and jumping all around during most of the show! It truly was an experience that we will never forget!

Then Monday we had our normal Non-Stress test where they monitor the baby and look at her heartbeat to make sure she isn’t stressed, we then had another ultrasound to look at her size and weight, she is estimated at nine pounds. Then we saw Dr. Henry and my blood pressure was sky high so he sent us to the hospital. We had to stay overnight where they monitored baby and mommy and then we were sent home Tuesday afternoon.

Now I am taking blood pressure meds, and supposed to be on full bed-rest until she decides to come; this means bathroom, bedroom and doctor’s visits. So please pray that baby Ainsley is developed fully and will come soon!

I think we are ready for prime time

After messing with all this fun WordPress stuff I think I can finally stop messing with it this weekend. I think Freckles would love to get me out of my office (bed) and tearing down the Christmas tree. Let us know what you think of the new place in our poll or comments!

ALSO! If you’ve got an iPhone check out our cool Touch version of this site.

Hubby of mine

// January 4th, 2009 // Comments // Friends, News, Uncategorized, husband

My husband is truly a blessing! Not only has he researched baby car seats and strollers, but he works on our website to keep us in touch with the internet world! At first I was a little confused on why he was still in bed but as he later showed me he really was working from his new “office”. AKA our new King size bed! Our new site and new ways to blog are much easier now! I am glad he is so good at figuring out the best strategy for our internet presence. Now if only that would pay???? Oh well, someday!

I am writing this little blog to thank him for our new site! And all his dedication to our future family!

Love you babe,

Freckles
