  • Wow! I didn’t anticipate all the comments from my last post about my adventure in parenting with Mr. Carson the other day. I SO appreciate all the support and understanding and insights! I love what Eric said about raising MY child, not the onlookers. I do want to be clear that I didn’t mean for […]

  • Oh, I see. It’s one of THOSE days.

    Warning! Controversial parenting practices to follow. Read at your own risk and judge not lest you be judged. 😉 So, remember the other day when I hesitantly wrote that we’re in a pretty peaceful time with Mr. Carson? Well, today I TAKE IT BACK! Someone slipped him a naughty pill when I wasn’t looking, because […]

  • Camera happy

    My poor children are never safe from camera-crazy Mommy. This morning I decided to take pictures of Sydney in her highchair before she had eaten. She is such a content baby, but sometimes a tough crowd for a mommy who is trying to make her smile right after she woke up! Here she is displaying […]

  • Kissy kissy!

    Do you guys have that screensaver thing that rotates through one of your pictures files? I have mine set to rotate through my ENTIRE picture folder, which is several hundred pics. This one flashed up the other day and I had completely forgotten about it. It was the summer of ’07, and Carson and I […]

He has been especially helpful with Sydney, and she is […]

    Isn’t blogging so cool? I mean, I remember thinking that blogging was for geeks and political nutjobs. Now, it is a fairly low-maintenance way for me to keep in touch with so many friends–old and new. It is also a way for me to document our day-to-day lives–I’m working on getting it a little more […]

  • Beach Weekend

    For several years we have had the opportunity to get away for one weekend each spring with my side of the family. It started at Black Butte when a friend gifted us a weekend there several times in a row. At that time it was just my parents, Mike & Becky, and Trent & me. […]

  • This kid makes me laugh!

    He makes me scream, cry, pull my hair out, practice my deep, calming breathing more than I’ve ever needed to in my life and drink my weight in coffee each day, but he really does make me laugh! When he was really little, we were told many times that boys will make a gun out […]

  • Safety first, people.

    This is what I found when I went to get Syd’s carseat this morning. Hee! And Happy Birthday to Abby! From your best friend (even though you don’t know it yet.)Can you feel the love?
