Here are a few random things that have made me laugh out loud lately. First, you may have seen this video, but it is worth watching again. Second, my friend Mrs. Towne mentioned this blog in HER blog, and I was cracking up as I made my way through several of the posts. It’s not […]
I forgot to post these cute pics that Mike took of Sydney last month for her birth announcement. It was the day she turned exactly one month, and she’s now 7 weeks, so that quickly they are kind of out-dated. I was bummed because although she looks quite stoic in these shots, a few days […]
Like many pre-marrieds, Trent and I read “The Five Love Languages” before we got married. You know, so we’d communicate our affection better, yada, yada, yada. 😉 The languages are physical touch, acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation and giving/receiving gifts. It’s not a bad read, but I think most people receive and […]
We went camping all weekend with a 6 week old! I was really not sure if it was a good idea. I really wanted to go, but it was supposed to be cold. And she doesn’t sleep through the night. And all four of us sleep in a tent together. But we survived and it […]
Carson has two uncles (and 2 more “uncles”) who work at Nike, so this contraband Adidas outfit–although pretty darn cute–is frowned upon. Blame his Aunt Tara, who can’t turn down a good sale on good lookin’ clothes for her nephew. Also, Carson got a haircut! Daddy did the deed this time, and yes, it was […]
…you take ’em both and there you have the facts of life. Ah yes. Today has been full of both good and bad. I won’t get into all the details (for once) of the bad, but it has to do with frustrations with health insurance and their confusing ways, some of our own mistakes, a […]
The other day we heard someone reference their “best friend” and I asked Carson who his best friend was. I was curious, because we’ve never used that specific term before. Without hesitating, he said “Ethan and Henry and Nate.” I thought it was really sweet. Those four boys are all within 10 months of each […]
I’ve been having some warm fuzzy feelings lately (perhaps some extra hormones running around? maybe?) about my alma mater and my fellow college alumni. It’s been almost 10 years (!!!) since I graduated, and we’ve remainded very close with a few friends, which is a huge blessing in our lives. We use any extra penny […]
That was how it started. In a room that had already been searched, but was, admittedly, quite messy. So I went to check the closet for the flip-flops. For some reason, the messiness of the closet really got to me (even though it’s been chaotic for some time) so I started straightening up a bit, […]
“Woody isn’t a bad guy. He’s a happy guy.”*“I wanna play games on the pooter.”*In the bathtub:”Whoa, Mom. I have a funny pee-pee. It’s like a hot dog!”*Almost every night at dinner, spoken like a grown-up:”So, how was your work, Dad?”*“You always say ‘shhh’ and I don’t like it.”*Two weeks before Sydney was born: “Why […]
