On April 28, 2001, I finally married the former commitment-phobe with the quick wit, crooked smile and gorgeous blue eyes. It’s been TEN YEARS and I love him more each day. I’d get way too sentimental and sappy if I wrote all the ways that I love, respect, admire and appreciate him, so instead I’m […]
We have a cute book (that you probably have too) about Ladybug Girl. I noticed after the first 10 readings or so that Sydney had started to try to copy the facial expressions of the main character as we were reading (which are drawn really well, I think). I pointed it out and when she […]
During “Less Screen” week, Carson was snooping around in our bedroom and found two HUGE three-ring-binders under our bed. One was full of baseball cards, the other full of basketball cards. They are from Trent’s childhood and part of the traditional, coming of age “you finally have your own house so now you have to […]
Well, I successfully avoided all blogs (including mine) and facebook for an entire week. guess what? It wasn’t earth-shattering. I did not have more energy, more patience, more time on my hands. I still struggled to keep the house even remotely clean from day to day. And since I started an on-line continuing ed class, […]
I’ve been feeling lately that I need to take a little internet hiatus. To be honest, even though I’m not Catholic, I thought about giving up Facebook for lent, but with the chance of a referral in March, I knew I would not follow through with it! Then I found out that this week (starting […]
We have had….a week. I’ve had no energy to post, and no pictures, news, or amusing stories to post about. But there is one thing that I’ve been working on that makes me smile when I think about it, and I want to share it with you. Several months ago, I was blog-hopping and came […]
Today is the beginning of the Thai New Year celebration of Songkran. I’ve been reading up a bit on it, but in truth much of my learning began after reading Wendy’s post and K’s post, so you might as well go check out what they said! But one thing we know: the most popular way […]
Oh, poor, forgotten middle child. When her brother moved out of his crib, it was front page news. Syd’s been sleeping in her big girl bed for almost a week and I’m finally getting around to posting about it. Par for the course, her transition was significantly lower-maintenance than Carson’s. She has slept every night […]
I was going to title this post “Number Two” but that phrase has already caused some confusion in conversation today, so I figured I’d attempt to avoid leading you to believe I’d dedicated an entire post to poop. (Although that’s something I’m entirely capable of.) * Yep–we’re number two on the waiting list! (If you’re […]
I was goofing around on my parents’ computer this morning, and found that they had saved all the digital pictures from when Trent and I went to Europe in ’04. We had 4 weeks between his finishing grad school and my starting. We used 3 of those weeks for this trip. The pics were taken […]
