Shopping in Bed

A few weeks ago, when David was busy working into the wee hours of the morning, and I was going to bed before him I made a little discovery. While doing some channel surfing I stumbled upon QVC and was almost instantly hooked. I began watching it every night in bed marveling at the vast [...]

Catching Up is Hard to Do

I’ve been noticing a trend with my blogging lately. I have very good intentions for supremely interesting, and entertaining blog posts and then I get distracted by life and fail to follow through on them. Then, I feel compelled to catch up. So, here I go. Once again there will be no rhyme or reason [...]

The Ancient Roman Espresso Bar – A.K.A. Vacation Bible School

Madeline is in Vacation Bible School this week. It started on Monday and goes through Friday. She’s a little on the young side for VBS, since she just turned 3, but it is open to all kids age 3 and up so I figured I’d give it a try. Madeline usually does really well in [...]

A Conversation Between Madeline and Steven

Steven came over to our house the other night. Immediately Madeline took him outside in the backyard to play with her. The first thing she wanted to do was show him a treasure she was hiding under our pine tree.
She took him to the backside of the tree, crouched down on her knees, and reached [...]

I Swear I Don’t Spend All Day on the Toilet

I don’t have anything too interesting to share, but I do have some cute pictures, and some random stories to share…imagine that! 
Anthony is finally using his high chair. We had just been using the Bumbo seat to feed him, but he was getting too good at throwing his body out of it, and it didn’t [...]

Is 2 Enough?

Last week we had some friends’ kids over for the evening. They had just moved into a new house so we offered to take the kids so they could get some stuff done in the new house without having the kids undo all of their hard work immediately. I imagine it would be nice to [...]

Catching My Dinner

Yesterday I bought Madeline a t-ball set. She has been into sports lately, so when I saw the set I figured she would enjoy it. 
Here she is getting her first look at it (David set it up in the backyard, and when she woke up from her nap it was waiting for her). As you [...]

The Joys of Teething

Anthony was kind of cranky today. He didn’t want to take his bottle, and he kept frantically shoving his fist in his mouth while simultaneously shrieking in what appeared to be pain. So, I thought maybe he was teething. He already has his 2 bottom teeth (which is about 3 months earlier than Madeline!), so [...]

The Passport Incident

After I wrote that last post, David read it and told me later that night that I should blog about the passport story. I had purposely left out all of the gruesome details, because I didn’t want to make him feel bad. Yep, David was the person responsible for our passport incident…in case you couldn’t [...]

Looking Forward to the Fall

Yeah, I know summer is not even here yet and I am looking forward to fall?!?! Don’t get me wrong, I am so looking forward to many long summer days, and I always wish summer could last as long as winter seems to last! However, today has me looking forward to Fall. 
Why?
Well, for starters Madeline [...]
