Today was a very busy, tiring day. At 10:45 this morning David and I headed to a car dealership to look at a car while Steven and Jessica watched the kids for us. At 6:00 we finally got home, with a new car (more on that later), just in time to run out the door [...]

Warming Up
I was so happy when Madeline decided to be a clown for Halloween this year. I was almost certain she was going to choose to be a princess, or a fairy. Not that those aren’t wonderfully cute and adorable costumes for little girls, but we happen to have a dress-up area stocked full of princess [...]

Where It All Began
It’s no secret that I kind of have a thing for Starbucks. It all started just over 3 years ago after Madeline was born. It started out innocently enough. I’d drive over to a local coffee shop, carry Madeline in in her car seat, order my chai, go back to my car, drive home, and [...]

Cooking and Kicking
Madeline informed me today that she was going to have a picnic with her friends and she needed to cook. She then started to list all of the ingredients she was going to need to cook properly for her picnic. I believe it included eggs (preferably lots of them), sugar, milk, cereal, and crackers. After [...]

Reunion!
A while back I had a mini-reunion with some friends from “back in the day.” In junior high, and high school I had a few good friends from my church. We lived in a rural area, and we all went to different schools. Occasionally we saw one another when we played against each other in [...]

Anthony’s Birthday Recap
Anthony’s first birthday party was a week ago today, so I figure it’s about time I blog about it or else it will never happen! My parents were kind enough to share some pictures with me, so now I have more to choose from!
There were lots of balloons for Anthony’s party. Madeline was pretty excited [...]

So Close!
Anthony is so close to walking! He could do it if he decided he wanted to, but right now crawling is still faster for him. He is excited about walking, and will practice like crazy when the mood strikes him. He usually gets a little crazy right before bedtime and decides to walk all over [...]

Sugar and Spice, and Not so Nice
Madeline is finishing up her second month of preschool, and it has been an interesting experience. She has adjusted well, always looks forward to going, and has gotten good reports from her teachers about how sweet she is. Of course that makes me happy, and comes as a relief since I was somewhat fearful that [...]
