Happy Birthday Papa!
2010-07-26 12:52
Today is David's birthday, so he and Marilyn came up to celebrate on Saturday. We had a really good day, and I got my house pressure washed, so that was a bonus. I have to say, though, that the most surreal experience was discussing my feminine hygiene needs with my...
Ramona Quimby, Age 8
2010-07-25 17:05
When I was little, I hated reading (still do for the most part), but this series of books by Beverly Cleary captured my attention and affection. I was Ramona, the mischevious, misunderstood little girl who was constantly getting into trouble. I read them repeatedly, so I was...
Family

Yesterday we had the pleasure of spending the day at the lake with Wesley's family...well our family, really. They were gracious enough to invite us to eat and play with them for the day. Trevor and Victoria got to ride in a boat and on jetskis for the first time, and Sophie...
18 Months
2010-07-09 20:31
We just got home from a trip to Grandma's, and it dawned on me that today Sophie Grace reaches 18 months. WIth the first kid, you know their age down to weeks; the second, you count in months; and the third, you're lucky if you remember their name, let alone their age. Nonetheless, 18...
Happy Birthday America!*Updated
2010-07-04 15:00
In order to celebrate, we're going to fill our bellies with grilled delights, pack in some sweet goodies, and finish it off with a fireworks show, because we're Americans dammit, and we know a little somethin' about gettin' fat and lightin' fires. Maybe that's just the south; I don't...
Boys Don't Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses
2010-07-02 22:50
So after an hour and a half at the eye doctor today, we walked out with orders for FOUR pairs of glasses. That's right. First, Trevor at age 7 and now Victoria at age 4. Her beautiful baby blues are about to be hidden behind some funky specs. Just because she has to wear...
The Bully, The Boss, and The Baby Vagina
2010-06-22 13:54
These are the nicknames bestowed upon my children by their favorite (and only) Aunt Kathleen. Boy, Trevor's going to be upset when he finds out which one he is.
Sophie Grace- The Bully- I can't disagree. She's feisty and mean. Anyone who's heard Victoria stories probably would...
Father's Day
2010-06-20 21:01
This day is a bittersweet one for me. I lost my dad at the ripe old age of 5, but I married this guy who's an awesome dad to my kids, so everything turned out ok. It's weird to think that I was only a little older than Victoria when my father died. I spent so many years being...
So.Very.Tired.
2010-06-15 21:20
It's the 2nd week of summer break, and I'm already tapped out. We literally sat around the house all day today and barely spoke to one another. I would feel guilty about this if I hadn't spent the past week at the beach with all 3 kids and my mom. Each day...
Married With Children
2010-06-05 20:59
Almost 20 years ago, I met a silly boy. I didn't think much about him- cute but goofy- that was it. It was the summer before I started high school, and we were both taking instrument lessons from the same lady. I didn't talk much with him over the next...
