Summer 2015
My first year of teaching has ended. It went by so quickly. The 3rd graders were great and I am so happy that I had the chance to learn with them this year. I asked the students on the last day, “What was your favorite thing we did this year?” Responses were varied from “everything” to “angry birds math towers” to our “ marshmallow challenge ” even to “learning cursive writing”. I learned soooooooo much of what to do and what not to do in the future. So days were great and some days were a real struggle. Our classroom dynamic changed so much over the course of the year from my maternity leave to adding three students at semester to having our first experience with state assessments, what a year! I know I have a busy summer of planning and organizing to prepare for next years lovely bunch of 3rd graders. I am so excited to spend this entire summer with my little guys. They are growing…

Blur
My life is currently a blur. There are so many reasons this is true including I have an infant, I am in my first year teaching, I have a 3 year old, and my husband is constantly (not really although it feels this way) traveling. I think anyone of these things is stressful and challenging, all of them happening at once just makes me lucky. Almost 5 months ago Callan was born and I am so happy that he is here. Like his older brother he is an absolutely delightful baby. Of course I take credit for this part of my boys as anyone who has met Aaron knows well that is not exactly who he is. As I find myself trying to be the best at everything I feel like I am the worst at everything. I cannot be the best mother, teacher and wife at the same time. I know on those days that I am being a good mother and spending time with my boys, I am neglecting the lesson plans I should be writing. And on the…

Callan Traffas
Our wonderful baby boy arrived on October 6, 2014 at 8:02pm at Pratt Regional Medicial Center in Pratt, Kansas. Callan weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 20 inches long. Our lives have been turned upside down from the introduction of this new addition. Who knew 7 pounds of wonderful could change your world so much. Starting at the beginning… I started having contractions on Sunday night (October 5) they started out 5-7 minutes apart, as did my contractions with Nolan. This time I was able to sleep on an off throughout the night. In the morning I went for a nice little walk around the neighborhood, contractions continued and were about 2-3 minutes apart. After calling the hospital they encouraged us to come in so that they could see what was going on. Around 11:30 a.m. we made the 30 minute drive up to Pratt, and of course the contractions slowed to about 10 minutes apart. So I knew…

Wow…Happy Labor Day…Already!
The last several months have gone quickly but the most recent month has flown by. I started teaching 3rd grade in Attica on August 14th. It is overwhelming, stressful, delightful and very enjoyable. Nolan has transitioned fairly well back to being in daycare. (Thank goodness) I cannot believe that we are only about a month away from meeting our little guy. As I am growing bigger and bigger he is moving more and more. I feel so lucky that this pregnancy has gone by so quickly but then I realize….I am not ready for a baby! I don’t have his clothes washed I don’t have diapers. All of the things I lovingly prepared in anticipation for Nolan. However since we have been told we are having another boy, I am not too worried as I know the box of newborn clothes I saved will be ready when he arrives. What a wild ride this year is sure to be. I am lucky to have such a great group of students, I…

Nolan Nolan Nolan
On June 1st I took Nolan up to Pratt to have his pictures taken by Stacie Strong. As always Stacie did a great job and was undeterred by this little guy trying to run off after each photo snap. I am amazed that they turned out as well as they did. She was quick with the shots and got some great ones of our little guy. Thank you Stacie we love them! In these pictures Nolan is about 33 months old as his 3rd birthday will be at the end of August. Nolan is growing up quickly it seems. I am treasuring (and pulling my hair out) this summer as we get to spend so much time together. He is so smart, I know every parent says this about their children, but even so it is wonderful to listen to his questions and watch him explore and learn about he environment around him. Some of Nolan’s favorite things are: His Daddy, he already looks up to him saying “Daddy is a good worker”, “I’m going to be a…

Time Marches On
Our summer is already going by so quickly; I cannot believe we have been out of school for an entire month. That means only two more months till I will have a class full of kids! I better get ready! We had another OB appointment this morning. 23 weeks along and everything is looking good with our baby boy. Still on track for an early October delivery. The little guy is absolutely a mover and a shaker, every time I sit down he is kicking around in there. Last night was the first time Aaron felt the little guy kick. 🙂 Nolan also had a check up today. He is looking good too; height and head circumference are in the 75% and weight is in the 50%. Over the weekend Medicine Lodge had the annual summer celebration of Junefest. We were excited to host Andrew, Megan and Kylee Piester for the weekend. Megan had her 10 year class reunion and luckily we got to spend some great time catching up with…

Here we go again!
I am absolutely thrilled to officially (on the internet) announce that Aaron and I are expecting #2! Baby is due in early October so, I am securely in the second trimester (17 weeks) and so happy to be feeling much better than I did in the first trimester. Next week we are finding out the baby’s gender. Aaron is too impatient to wait and see and admittedly it is fun to find out and plan. So will it be pink or blue?? Nolan seems to believe that his family consists of a mommy, daddy, Nolan and his sister. He often makes little families out of dump trucks, pots, rubber ducks and they are always the same family; no brothers. It will be interesting to see if he is right. I am truly starting to feel and look pregnant. I certainly am not able to “hide” this pregnancy like I was able to with Nolan. My tummy is starting to round out and I believe that I am starting to feel the first little…

Nolan’s first year
It is so hard to believe that it has already been a year since Nolan was born. What a year it has been. Filled with so much change, sorrow and triumph. Nolan is doing great. He is walking all over. He recently decided that he would rather walk than crawl, although he does still crawl it is becoming less and less often. Nolan has 8 teeth now, four on bottom and four on top. Nolan weighed 19 lbs 7 oz at his 12 month check up on September 6th. I think he has both gained weight and grown taller in the last two weeks as his clothes seem tighter and his pants shorter. Nolan continues to go to daycare, since he is 1-year-old and walking he has moved to the “transition” classroom. I think he is really enjoying it because he has been worn out the last few days. The group of 12-16 month old kids goes outside two times a day and they have a more rigid schedule. The classroom has 8 boys (no girls).…

11 months old!-WALKING!
Nolan is nearly a year old! Where has he time gone. Nolan continues to be very active! He is a super fast crawler, he crawls on his hands and feet. He must think it is faster than his knees. He took his first steps (that I witnessed) on July 18th! Nolan has many “words” now he says mama and finally decided to say dada after holding out for many months. I think that really felt good for Aaron to finally hear Nolan say dada. He also says baba and ooooooo. When we went in for his 9 month appointment (which didn’t happen until he was 10.5 months old). He weighted about 19 pounds and was 29 inches tall. Although he is only wearing 9 month clothes the doctor says that she doesn’t see any reason for concern as he is obviously a very happy and BUSY baby. Nolan has two teeth on the bottom, which you can see in some of his pictures. In the last month he also got two teeth on the top. I think he…

Harvest!
Harvest is upon us! The Traffas men started cutting on May 25th. Aaron said he doesn’t remember starting harvest before the beginning of June in previous years. So it is a special year. It is of course Nolan’s first harvest! He has already had his first ride on the combine. And as of yesterday his second. It has been quite a busy time around Sharon. Nolan is staying with Grandma Marilyn while Aaron is in the field. I am commuting to work each day from Sharon to reduce the amount of time Nolan has to spend in the car. We are so lucky to have so much help with Nolan. Erica has also been home studying for her NCLEX test (licensing test for Nurses) and helping watch Nolan. Nolan is growing up so quickly! He is now 9 months old and crawling everywhere. He often crawls up on his feet rather than just using his knees. It is adorable. He is pulling up on EVERYTHING; in turn he is also falling…

Stand Up, Sit Down….
Nolan turned 8 months old on April 27th; this year is flying by! Nolan is crawling all over the house. Figuring out new ways to baby proof everything has just about become a hobby for Aaron. He and Nolan continue to spend their days at home together. Erica comes over and helps out with Nolan when she is available. Nolan is crawling and pulling up on furniture and has even started to take small steps along the furniture. It is very fun to watch him learn how to use his body. He first stood up on his own (pulling himself to his feet) against the mirror in his play area on April 27. We have continued to (try to) feed Nolan solids. However he has decided that he is not really that interested in eating any of them. He starts out very happy and excited to eat when I put him in his chair, but then once we get down to the actual putting food in his mouth, well that is when he starts getting…

7 Months
Nolan is growing and changing so fast! The month of March flew by so quickly. Aaron had to travel almost every weekend this month so Nolan and I had a lot of time to hang out at home together. Nolan is able to sit unassisted and play with his toys for several minutes. He is also trying very hard to crawl. He has not figured out that he needs to lift his head while moving his legs, but that doesn’t seem to slow him down. I think he may end up with rug burn on his face soon. He is mobile enough to scoot reach or roll to get just about anything he wants. Of course the things he wants are usually not this things we want him to have, including our cell phones, remotes, computers, cords etc. Nolan cannot get enough of my necklaces, I think he believes I wear they as a chew toy for him. So each day when I get home from work I have to remember to take them off before he gets his slobbery little…

6 Months!
Nolan is quite the little rolly pully! He has been able to roll over for a couple of months now, but just recently he has started to do it with purpose. He is reaching for toys and playing. We really have to watch him when he is on the floor, he is able to make his way around by rolling and scooting towards toys. Last week Nolan realized he was able to see himself in the mirror while he sits in his car seat. (We have a mirror on the headrest, so he can see his face from the front seat.) Then the other day Marilyn (Nolan’s grandma) and I were shopping and as we were looking at the meat in the meat case, Nolan started jabbering and smiling. It took a second for us to realize he was seeing himself in the mirror above the meats. So cute! As Nolan has reached the 6 month mark it seems like he has really started understand so much more of what is happening around him. He is able to sit up on…

5 Months
Nolan's first foods Nolan is five months old already! He has been growing so quickly. Recently we purchased two exersaucers Nolan loves them. He now spends his time jumping up and down and exploring all of the attached toys. He enjoys spending more time on his tummy and he is getting closer to crawling everyday. The thought of Nolan crawling is both exciting and frightening. Aaron says he will have to spend a whole day baby proofing once Nolan is mobile. Nolan continues to roll over but not very frequently, he tends to just get frustrated and rub his face into the ground if he doesn’t want to be on his tummy anymore. We had some pictures taken at JC Penney’s on January 25th. They turned out so great! Nolan is such a happy little fellow. We also invited cousin Kylee to take some pictures too! They could not be cuter! It is so fun having the two little babies to play with each other.…

Nolan’s First Christmas
Christmas 2011 Nolan has discovered his feet, so needless to say we are always having to check to make sure his little feet are still covered. Except when we go to Grandma and Grandpa Traffas’s house where grandpa like to take his socks off during play time. This month has been very busy and fun for all of us. Nolan rolled over for the first time from back to front (assisted by kicking my leg) but completely on his own from front to back a couple of days later. He wasn’t sure what to think of flipping over like that. Nolan continues to be a very vocal baby. He likes to hear himself “talk” which is more like a yell/scream. He can now grasp and hold on to toys, he also likes to chew on everything! He has started to be able to entertain himself for short periods of time with his toys. Nolan is also able to sit up assisted and unassisted very briefly. He has started to enjoy tummy time and…

3 Months!
Nolan is 3 months old! Nolan is growing and learning so quickly! He is already 3 months old. November was a busy month for the Traffas Family. We celebrated my 27th birthday on November 8th, Aaron and I went out to dinner at a restaurant we hadn’t tried before; The Newport Grill . It was great, wonderful selections of entrees, delicious desserts and custom-made cocktails! Aaron has been tirelessly working on finishing up the recordings and artwork for his CD. It is currently at the disc maker and should be shipped soon to make it here by Friday December 9! Aaron Traffas Band’s CD release party is December 10th in Manhattan at Bobby T’s. I am so excited to see the finished product. On November 21st I returned to work at TFI Family Services. So far I feel like things are going well at work. I haven’t cried yet. Nolan and Aaron are trying to find their rhythm at home. Some days are great…

Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloweeen Nolan is already two months old! I can’t believe how quickly he is growing. He is getting so expressive. He smiles all the time. He has started to “talk” back when I talk to him. Currently his favorite thing is his mobile in his crib. He lays in his crib and listens to the music while watching the dinosaurs go round and round. He kicks his legs and waves his arms in enjoyment. It is really fun to watch him enjoy it so much. Nolan also enjoys listening to Aaron and me read him books. Nolan went to the doctor for his two month check up and everything looked great. He weighed 12 pounds and was 23 inches long. He has started to out grow some of his clothes now. Nolan got his first round of vaccinations at his two month appointment. He handled them pretty well only crying a little bit, however the next few days were a little rough. Nolan had a fever and was pretty…

One Month Already
I can’t believe Nolan is already over 1 month old! He is growing so quickly. At his one month appointment he weighed in at 10 lbs 4 oz, 22 inches long and his head circumference was 15 inches. He is very healthy and most of the time very happy as well. I know it is cliché, to say how amazing our baby is and to tell everyone how cute he is, but seriously he is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen! It is truly amazing the amount of love that I feel towards my son. I feel like my heart has expanded and it feels so perfect.

Nolan’s First Week
Nolan on the bili-light As Aaron and I transition to our new role as parents we are considering ourselves very lucky. Nolan is such a good baby. Nolan did have to go to the doctor several times this past week to have his bilirubin levels checked. The bilirubin levels indicate jaundice. At one point Nolan’s levels were at 18, when this happened we had to put him on bili-light which is a light that helps to break down the bilirubin in his blood. After the bili-light treatment his bilirubin levels have continued to go down. Today we had another check at the doctor and his level was down to 10, so the nurse said that jaundice is no longer a concern for Nolan. What a relief! I am continuing to recover from the surgery. I felt very good the first few days, but it is starting to catch up with me now. I just have to remember to take it slow and nap when he is sleeping. Nolan has been a very…

Nolan has Arrived!
I am thrilled to announce that our wonderful Nolan arrived on 27 August at 3:56pm. He was born one week before his scheduled due date. Nolan weighed 8 lbs 2.6oz and was 21 inches long. He took his time making his grand entrance. I started having contractions 5-7 minutes apart on Friday (8/26) at 5:30am, the contractions continued very consistently for the next 34 hours, but unfortunately Nolan was not able to be born naturally because he was positioned in the birth canal “OP” or occiput posterior which basically means he was face up rather than face down. Babies can make it through this way but after four hours of pushing and no progress we and the doctor decided to go ahead and proceed with a cesarean birth. I was very nervous and scared to have a cesarean, but as it turns out everything went well in the operating room and I am recovering well. Nolan has been a dream come true for…

38 Week Appointment
Cake at the surprise baby shower 11 days till our due date! I can’t believe it. It feels like it has gone so quickly, but yet these last few weeks time has started to slow down. I have started to slow down. I think our little guy is going to be a healthy weight. I feel like he is packing on the pounds. Thankfully I am still able to sleep almost all the way through the night and I do not yet feel like I am “waddling”. I have continued walking but my walks have gotten shorter as I find myself tired faster than before. I was surprised on Monday at work with a baby shower by my coworkers. It was so sweet. I think Aaron and I have decided on a glider rocker, I plan to go order it after work today at Babies R Us. We are also still deciding on a crib. Otherwise I think most of the purchases that need to be made have been made and we will we ready to go when Nolan makes his grand entrance.

37 Week Appointment
We attended our 37 week 4 day appointment on Tuesday. Everything is looking good. Nolan’s heart rate was 144 beats/minute. And I am measuring right on track. The doctor did an exam and said that there is no progress yet, but not to worry because many women do not have any progress until labor begins. We are 15 days away from our due date. Really looking forward to meeting Nolan. We also got our wonderful car seat properly installed into our vehicle so we are ready for the first ride. I have continued to feel pretty good. Considering myself lucky to still be carrying our little guy with no complications. I have continued to experience braxton hicks contractions, but still nothing that is too uncomfortable. I am very tired usually requiring a nap to make it through the day. Nolan continues to move around a lot! I can definitely tell he is putting on weight as my belly grows and feels so…

36 week appointment
Baby Nolan's Car Seat Well we are in the home stretch here. Today we had our 36 week appointment. Everything went well, nothing really to report. Our normal doctor is on vacation this week so we met with a nurse/midwife just to make sure there were no problems. We did find out however that I am a carrier of Group B Strep (GBS) , therefore once I go into labor I will need to have antibiotic through an IV to try to ensure that the baby does not become ill. For low risk carriers such as myself, if I am given antibiotics during labor there is only a 1 in 4000 chance of delivering a baby with GBS. So hopefully everything goes well and the medication prevents the transmission of GBS to our little guy. Today Baby Nolan’s heart beat was 157 beats/minute. The nurse said she believes he is still head down. I have been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions for about 3 days now, that are pretty…

ONE MONTH!
Today is one month from our due date! I can’t believe it, we are getting so close to meeting our little boy. Aaron and I had an appointment today with our doctor, she checked to make sure the baby is head down. She did a quick sonogram to confirm at which time she also definitively confirm that we are indeed having a little boy. What a relief we don’t need to worry about returning any of the wonderful gifts we received at the shower last weekend. He was a little feisty when the nurse tried to check his heart rate he kicked the wand two times. However she was able to record his heart rate at 145 beats/minute. I am absolutely thrilled that we are getting so close. I have been feeling pretty good, the heat is irritating, but it is for everyone else too. My feet have been a little swollen, but it has stayed manageable. It is just so exciting to think that we are going to be able to hold him…

Ready or Not
Aaron is back from harvest! They finished cutting last Friday thanks to no rain delays this summer. Now we are trying to get everything together in preparation for our new edition to our family. I luckily have continued to feel pretty good. I have noticed I am increasingly more tired and little hungrier than normal. My first introduction to leg cramps woke me up in the middle of the night with terrible cramping in my calf that seemed to last for 3 days. I am hope I do not have any more of those. Aaron and I are attempting to get a baby registry started. I just can’t decide where it should be…target, wal-mart, babies r us. I have started a registry on Amazon . It is so hard deciding which items we want. I am really looking forward to our baby shower at the end of July; it is always so much fun to see friends and family! Aaron and I had a doctor’s appointment on June 26th. Everything went…

Less than 90 days
We have entered the 3rd trimester! Aaron and I are both getting very excited about meeting our son. I know that we are not completely ready yet, but that is alright. I think most parenting is done by trial and error anyway, right? There are a thousand things left for use to do in preparation, but sticking the our true nature we will get it together, right toward the due date. Hopefully he doesn’t come too early… We have attended several Childbirth Preparation classes that have done less to prepare me and more to scare me about the labor and delivery process. Just like every other first time mom I am praying for a smooth delivery and a healthy baby. According to the doctor everything is going well with my pregnancy. I had my blood glucose tested at my last appointment, I have not received the results yet, but my doctor said that if it was high they would have contacted me to schedule the…

Baby Traffas’s Quilt
While Aaron was away this weekend in Sacramento. I decided that I would trust the sonogram technician and go ahead and start a quilt for a little baby BOY! I was so excited to get started on something for the little one. Aaron and I haven’t really bought anything yet as we were waiting to find out the gender.

Thank You Thank You Thank You
Aaron and I have so many people to thank for helping our wedding run so smoothly. We are so lucky to have such wonderful and helpful family members that made everything happen. A few special thank-yous to Mom, Debbie Poe, who designed all of the flowers at the ceremony and reception. This was a huge job and she truly made everything look amazing. Grandma Ruby Poe for sewing the bridesmaid’s and flower girl’s dresses and assisting with some last minute tuxedo fitting. As well as a few alterations to my wedding gown. Everyone looked great and it’s all your fault. Aunt Patsy and her daughters Valerie and Michelle for providing beautiful music for our ceremony. Aunts Lori, Debbie and Julie for helping getting everything in place for the reception and for serving the cake. Uncle Dale for running out to the store when we forgot to have forks for the cake! 🙂 We really appreciate all you guys.…

One Month
We are on a mad dash to the finish line. I have lists upon lists of things to check, confirm and order. I cannot believe we are only 4 weeks away! I am excited to announce that the invitations are all mailed out, which is probably why you are visiting our wedding website. We had quite the debacle trying to get the invitations printed. In the end everything worked out with Copies 4 Less in Manhattan who came to our rescue and had the invitations printed and cut the same day we took them in; I look forward to working with them on the wedding programs. Last weekend we had a wonderful Couples Shower in Sharon. It was so nice to meet some the women of Sharon that I have heard so much about through the years. We are so lucky to have so many people supporting us during this time. Some close friends and I celebrated my Bachelorette party in Wichita over the weekend. It was very fun! Aaron and…

50 Days and Counting
The days are flying by! I cannot believe we only have 50 days left until we get married. These days are going to be very busy. Aaron and I have been working hard on getting all of the details worked out for our big day. The invitations are almost ready to be mailed out. The invitations were designed by my brother Craig and I could not be happier with the final product. We still have considerable work to do on the guest list, but it is coming together.

Mosaic Photo
Diane and I are honored to have been accepted by Mosaic Photo in Wichita. Most wedding photographers grab little more than the required shots of the family and do the required amount of Photoshop work before charging the couple a ton of money and restricting the usage rights for the images. These guys at Mosaic flip that model upside down by turning wedding photography into art. Their shots are plentiful – both planned and candid – and they are image processing ninjas. They’re going to allow us to use and replicate the images at will, and best of all, they’re geeks like us. We’re excited to get to welcome them to Barber County in September, and promise to ensure that they have a fantastic time. In the meantime, click the link to the left to check out their portfolio.

Something Blue
I have been busy thinking of all of the ways to make our day truly special. I have so great ideas and cannot wait to share them with everyone. This past weekend was very busy. We headed down to Sharon on Friday and Aaron played a show at The Plum Thickett in Kiowa. On Saturday Aaron had another show in Medicine Lodge with the Blaine Younger Band . Both show went well, it is always nice when he plays so close to home. On Sunday I headed to Wichita with my Mom, Aaron’s Mom and my Grandma Ruby. We were on a mission to find fabric for the bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses. We were partially successful, we found all of the fabric for the flower girl dresses which will be white with blue sashes. However we only found about half of the fabric needed for the five bridesmaids’ dresses. Because my grandma is custom making all of the dresses I was able to design them exactly how I wanted.…

The Proposal Details
October 17, 2009-San Francisco Aaron and I rolled out of bed to go down to Ocean Beach which was only a block from where we were staying. We had planned to do this early because we weren’t sure how much time we would have to spend at the beach on our trip to San Francisco. Aaron and I had each seen the ocean, but this was our first time to see it while we were together. That morning the ocean was beautiful a little foggy, but beautiful.

Engaged to be Married
On October 17, 2009 at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, Aaron Traffas asked Diane Michelle Poe to be his wife. Diane is the daughter of Edgar and Debra Poe of Oakley, KS. Aaron is the son of Brian and Marilyn Traffas of Sharon, KS. I said YES to Aaron’s proposal and we are very excited to announce our engagement to be married! We have been together since October 2006. We look forward to sharing our special day with you. We have not made any plans yet. For more details about our wedding please visit www.dianetraffas.com Related
