Em and I are about halfway through Season 2 of Mad Men and are both pretty excited about Season 3 starting up soon. We’re both big fans, and being an ad guy, I couldn’t help but want my own Mad Man avatar.
The feature is called “Mad Men Yourself” (for a show about advertising, I would’ve [...]

Yesterday, Travis made my life 1,000 times better! He got me a new computer!! I’d still been using my laptop from college (and I’ve been out going on 7 years…). It had gotten to the point that it took me about 45 minutes to check my email because the computer was so slow and would just shut [...]
jazzing up the basement

Travis’ parents were kind enough to give us their old living room furniture when they no longer needed it. It’s great basement furniture. The couch is super comfortable and the tables are very functional. I love the size they are and they are very sturdy…great for a basement where little kids play. A lot of [...]

We went out and bought these:
And I set up this:
We even watched this:
While Elmo was singing about the fun of flushing the potty, Owen turned to me and said “Mama, Owie pooping.” I got super excited and said, “Great! Let’s go on the potty seat like Elmo!”. Perfect timing, right?
Owen’s response? “No PLEASE! NOOOO!”
No, potty [...]

First, we celebrated our 5th anniversary!
Wow…5 years. It feels like it’s gone fast, but when I think that we own a house, a dog, and have 2 kids I realize we’ve experienced so many big life changes together. It’s been a great 5 years! We had a great night out…sushi, a Cards game (they won [...]

Those of you who read this blog regularly know that, for the past 2 months, I’ve had to avoid dairy completely in order to continue nursing Molly due to her milk protein allergy. While I am so glad that my avoidance of dairy is keeping away all the scary reactions she had, I am getting [...]
it’s pool weather!

For a while it seemed the rain in St. Louis would never stop! Finally, the last two weeks have provided us with some great pool weather and we’ve been taking full advantage of it. I’m sure Owen would love it if, by pool weather I meant the big neighborhood pool where all the big kids [...]

Beau, my best friend since first grade, and his wife Stephanie (whom Emily and I have quickly become very close with) came to visit this weekend. While the weather wasn’t the best, we had a fantastic time catching up. We spent some time on Saturday checking out the stores in Kirkwood, followed up by a [...]
tractors, cows, and big red barns

Every summer we make a trip up to Michigan to see my dad’s side of the family. He is one of seven brothers, and they live all over the country. My grandma still lives on the farm where my dad and all his brothers were raised, so it makes the most sense for us to [...]
