When Emily, Owen and I picked out our Halloween pumpkin a couple weeks back, we felt good about it. It had a sturdy, round shape that wasn’t rivaled by any other pumpkin in the patch (or so we thought). Wednesday night we started carving…
Owen found the pumpkin guts intriguing. Then came the scooping…
And that’s when [...]

Congrats to Kristy – Charlie Brown is the correct answer! A lot of folks (including Kristy) thought that’s what he would be last year, especially after this post. Luckily for us all, he’s still bald enough to pull off Charlie (but not for long…his hair’s really starting to come in nicely). We watched Charlie Brown [...]

Last year we invited our readers to guess what Owen would be for Halloween (take a stroll down memory lane by checking out this post). Nobody got it, but there were some good guesses.
So here’s your second chance! You have until Friday to give us your guesses. The winner will get fame and glory, courtesy [...]

Those of you who know me well, know that I’m always looking for a good bargain. (Or a way to make money to buy something for a bargain…hence my Craigslist obsession. Which is still going on, I might add.) My friends Anna and Abbey have told me about the deals they get at Aldi, but [...]

Last Saturday, Travis and I took Owen to the pumpkin patch. This is becoming something we look forward to every year…although this year we chose a different patch. Last year we went to Eckerts…which is a great place to go, just a wee bit far away (over an hour from our house). We thought it [...]

I saw this Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out t-shirt the other day (it was one of my all-time favorite Nintendo games). Then it hit me: Little Mac’s trainer, Doc Lewis, looks just like Stanley from The Office.
Am I crazy here? You tell me.

That’s gotta mean something, right? I’m sure there’s some old wives tale about it somewhere. Anyway, our little guy is officially 17 months old!
This 17th month of life has been packed with noteworthy events. I’ll recap…in case you’ve forgotten!
1. Owen got his red cast taken off, his blue cast put on…and [...]

Ever since we bought our house 3 1/2 years ago, I’ve always hated this:
For one thing, the microwave’s numbers didn’t show up. I had to just guess that I’d typed in the desired time correctly. So annoying. Plus, that black shelf is hideously ugly!! I mean really, did the previous owners [...]

That’s right! Next April, we’re going to be a family of four!
We’ve been kind of hinting at the fact that there’s another one on the way and were just waiting to see if someone would catch on and say something. Well today, Katrina must have picked up on the hints (that or she heard through [...]

Yes ladies and gents, that’s my son. And that’s the vacuum cleaner he’s holding. No, your eyes don’t deceive you…he’s actually using the attachments and is vacuuming the corners. Look at that form!
As you can tell, vacuuming isn’t his only chore. I’ve also got him watering the flowers.
If his interest in domestic [...]
