How can it be? I just swoon when I see this pic of my little guy. How I miss the tiny-ness of holding a newborn. There’s nothing holding a little piece of you. Someone you created… Someone; a baby that grew inside of you. Someone that relies on you 100%… There’s just nothing like it! Happy birthday, Monkey! Love you…….

My last week at the library I saw this book, flipped through it, and decided to check it out. I loved that it was short, sweet, and to the point. It outlines 63 rules about food. A lot of it is common sense, but I think for a lot of us we have lost our common sense when it comes to food. Anyone else agree with me there? I know deep down, I know what’s good and not good, but when I’m “on the go”, I just throw all that out the window. And I drive up to the window! LOL... (more...)
Not sure if I’ve talked about my temporary evening job I’ve had since November. If you follow me on Facebook, you’re well aware. Anyway, it has been a true blessing. It really helped us survive Christmas. Unfortunately it has finally come to an end, but I’ve made a few notes during this experience. I’ve learned so much and it has really been a fun job. So hear goes….. Did you know that you can rent lap tops at the library? and Group study rooms? Extension... (more...)

We had a snow day on Friday. We made our way over to our neighbors across the street. They have a nice hill that the boys sled down on inner tubes. We probably ended up with 4-5 inches. Here’s some pics: AKPC_IDS += "4843,";Popularity: 4% [?] Read More →

I’ve been working on this post since November. I have been trying to come up with a 100. When I numbered them last night, I was excited to see I had 50! (and then I added another one today.) I’ll come back to this list as I think of other things I want to do. 1. Visit the Golden Gate Bridge and take hundreds of pictures of it 2. Ride in a helicopter 3. Have some of my photography work published 4. Eat fish and chips at a pub in London 5. Go on a cruise 6. Hike on St. John Virgin... (more...)
I’ve had this post about half way done for awhile and am finally making myself finish. We did our traditional sleepover for TV Boy’s birthday. 8 boys came this year. They were really loud and rambunctios for the first few hours, but when it was time to ‘chill’ they did! They watched The Goonies and loved it! Each year we notice a little differing conversations and focuses of the party. This year they were really into throwing the football, texting each other their cell... (more...)
