To The Market We Go....

Well today was more of a usual Saturday around the Haggard home for us. We went to Little Gym this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks. If you have young kids and are able, I highly recommend looking into Little Gym. It has been so good for Jack and taught him cooperation and working well with others (for the most part).

We went to the Keller Farmer's Market for opening day and lesson learned about getting there after 10 (don't do it). We had a good time and enjoyed checking in with our favorite vendors but what a mad house! We used to go around 8-9 in the morning and they have way more selection. Today's purchases included a cookie from Chez Katherine (of course), some sausage from a new vendor (whose name escapes me at the moment, and some other sausage from Texas Heritage Beef.
The best part about the farmer's market today was that Jack decided for some reason he was going to get some green onions. This started at Sprouts but as part of my goal to buy locally I encouraged him to wait til we got to the farmer's market to see if we could find some there. Well we did and Jack held on to them for dear life and started taking them apart in the car.

So needless to say our car now smells like someone cooked hamburgers in it but it was a fun exploration time for Jack. I will keep you updated as he picks the next vegetable of the week!

The First Post

Yesterday was my birthday and it was a special one. This was my first and only birthday that I will have while expecting a baby. To commemorate the occasion, my parents were nice enough to give us money to go get a gender scan (ours was supposed to be May 23). We went to our appointment and found out we are expecting another boy, which definitely makes me outnumbered in the house now!

Since I finally finished my internship this week, I figured it would be a great time for me to re-enter the blogging world and chronicle this family journey for us. This morning, I began looking online for any sort of resources on how to handle 2 sons or how to survive in a males-only house and I didn't see a whole lot of blogs about this so I thought I would throw my story in there.

Currently, there are 3 men in this house, my husband Aren, my brother Alex and my son Jack. Being the only girl with 3 guys has already been quite the experience and I'm sure it will get a lot more interesting with the arrival of #4.

I decided to call my blog "Raisin' Sons" because hey, we are in Texas so I can get away with a little Southern drawl and it reminded me of the play A Raisin in the Sun. So stick around and enjoy the ride with me, lots more to come :)
