the size of a banana

We have a small bit of news. A tiny, precious, little 20-something week old, banana sized announcement, to be exact.

Expected to join this beautiful world on or around April 19th, 2015 – we can’t wait to meet you, little man McCann.

All our love, your mommy & daddy.

  • I’m still always trying to decide how much of our work I should post here - like, are you guys just here to see my kids? Our camper that we no longer live in? I don’t know. Dave and I have been working so hard on completing edits and building our business, and honestly, while it could feel exhausting and daunting, I just feel really happy and proud. We recently released this teaser and couldn’t love it more! These two started as our clients and then became our friends and then we became her clients, too, when Kortney (@everandolive) shot our recent family photos! This job is rewarding and challenging, hard and so fun. I’m thankful for every second. So, anyway, watch this short teaser if you want and if that makes you want more, give us a follow at @exploreyourstory!🖤
  • As I lay in bed, at 8pm on NYE no less, next to a warm sleeping babe, I’m feeling grateful for a fresh new year. This one has been hard, my friends. Lots of bouncing around, too much feeling unsettled, many lessons to be learned in business and parenting and tiny home living, and way too many poopy diapers and hours spent picking up toys and half eaten cheese sticks. 2018 has been one of the hardest years, but still it boasts so much goodness. I’ll be falling asleep tonight with a happy heart, feeling extra thankful for this guy, who goes to the grocery store on a holiday because I NEEDED to make a smoothie and who gives me super cute baby boys, and for those 3 little nugs, who have brightened (and messied) our world tremendously. Happy NYE, everyone! • 📷: @everandolive
  • When you ask your husband to take a photo of you... • This is also what a week of bliss and rest and full nights’ sleep looks like. I do not look this currently. Thanks for all the ideas you’ve messaged me in response to my story yesterday! We were up much of the night with two little boys battling a terrible cough and we are so tired. My one and only goal for 2019 is to keep my family healthier because this just isn’t working for me.✌🏼
  • I’m just over here acting as creator and biggest fan of the next great boy band. Little man McCann no.3 will be joining this party this Spring! • Dave: feeling pretty damn proud. Neeson: loving the idea of another baby brother, even though his experience so far has consisted of lots of hitting and having toys thrown at him. Copeland: always the wildcard and already practicing being a bad influence. Me: gonna start wearing lipstick + floral crowns from @ambermustain_floraldesign every day to keep a tiny bit of girly around here. • Can’t wait to overshare more of these cozy photos from the amazing @everandolive!♥️
  • The boys met Santa yesterday and Neeson was so excited to tell him that they wanted presents for Christmas. St. Nick was pretty certain he could make that happen.♥️ #neesonandcopeland
  • We’ve got some news! This season has been a whirlwind - not kidding, the last several months have been HARD. You all know that we were renovating a 1978 Airstream Argosy, May, and had been living in her full time. Turns out that lifestyle just isn’t for us. For a million reasons, our family didn’t fare well in that space. The boys were not themselves. Dave and I were stressed and unhappy. It was a never ending project that we couldn’t get ahead of - add that to attempting to continue to manage our business, @exploreyourstory, and be good for our kids and each other, we were OVER IT. We’ve dealt with one illness after another for the last several months, as well as additional weight related health concerns for Copeland requiring extra appts with his primary and new appts to see specialists. Without any doubt, we felt like the added stress that camper living was causing was, in part, contributing to some of those health struggles. So, just in time for Christmas, we are reminded how grateful we are for friends who, with zero questions and at the drop of a hat, opened their home to us; for warmth; for straight walls; for indoor plumbing; for kitchen cabinets with doors on them; for a bit more space for our kids to play; for room to breathe and get healthy again. For anyone wondering if we’re sad about it or disappointed that it didn’t work out - no. No, we’re not. We tried and that’s pretty damn brave. Now we know and we can move forward without asking “what if?”♥️ #neesonandcopeland
  • You with me here?🙄 #craigslist #thereissuchthingasastupidquestion
  • Even little Neeson has been aged by this never ending Airstream renovation. He’s so much bigger now than in this shot from one of the very first days we brought #maymccannthecaravan home! • Let me say this: this process isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s probably also not for two clueless souls who possess no appropriate skills for a renovation of any kind, much less an Airstream. We dove in and we’ve learned A LOT. Excited to start sharing more about what we’ve come to realize about ourselves and #airstreamlife! Stay tuned. #neesonfoley
