Decorating.
For several months there was NOTHING on E’s walls in our new house. And then, for Christmas he received a few things for his room (One you see in the picture is this ‘Alice’ poster designed entirely with text from the story.) that we hung up at the beginning of the year. But until this summer? Those things were the only items gracing his walls. This summer gave E some free time at home and he spent the every second of it cutting out things from magazines,...

Things I’ve Talked About On Facebook And Twitter Lately
Life has been so hectic I find that my friends on Twitter and Facebook are getting more updates than you guys are. So, here is a bulleted list of things I’ve talked about/linked to in other places to keep friends/family updated on our hectic lives. I went to Knoxville this weekend for my Aunt’s 60th anniversary of becoming a nun. (Which means she’s 78. And she hiked the Chimney’s the day before. It’s obvious she’s my Dad’s sister.)... Read More
Like Father Like…Nope. Nevermind.
I’ve had a weird 36-hour fever that has no other symptoms than just an incredible feeling of blaaargh. (That’s a medical term. Look it up.) Every time I’m sick I think of my Dad.

Granted, I didn’t get sick often, but when I did? He was AWESOME. I was plagued with... Read More
The Magical Age
I have been so busy lately I’ve not done any photo taking of the kids. Not while they’re eating lunch, and not on specific Trying To Get Fun Photos type of outings. Nothing. This makes me feel a little crazy, so I made a point this weekend to set aside time for a Photo Outing. Nikki dressed herself (of course) with me just telling her to wear a hat because I was trying to do some different photos than I usually do. I put Wes in something decent (with a hat) and we...

In Lieu Of A Baby Book
Wes has done a couple of baby-book-worthy things lately. Except, you know, I don’t keep a baby book. I keep a BLARG. And while I fear that some of these things will have to be deleted when he gets old enough to surf the archives, that doesn’t mean we can’t all laugh at them in the meantime, AM I RIGHT? ************ Wes was pretending to have a sword fight in the kitchen the other day. He’s totally obsessed with Power Ranger: Samurai lately, so we do... Read More
