For the third year in a row, it’s your chance to guess what Owen’s dressing up as for Halloween! [cue the price is right theme music] If someone guesses correctly prior to Saturday night, they get all kinds of props right here on the blog. I’ll give you two hints: Owen’s not going as John [...]

In some ways it feels like forever ago that I graduated high school. In other ways it feels like yesterday. A couple of weeks ago, the class of ‘99 from Westminster Christian Academy got together for our big reunion. My high school friends and I tried to make the most of the weekend when we [...]

Just a quick picture of Owen and his BFF, Ella. It’s fun to look back at pictures from healthier times when we could actually leave the house…
Update on our swine flu baby…Molly woke up today without a fever!! It broke late yesterday afternoon and hasn’t returned. She still didn’t sleep very well last night. I [...]

The last few days haven’t gone as planned. We were supposed to be in Mena, Arkansas at Travis’ 10 year high school reunion (which he planned, might I add). It was going to be a great weekend of free babysitting (Nana and Bubba), lots of time with Travis’ high school friends, and a beautiful drive [...]
thanks, nana!

My baby girl is officially 6 months old! I took her to the pediatrician today for her 6 month check-up. She weighed in at 17 pounds, 2 ounces (75th percentile) and measured 26 3/4 inches (90th percentile). Looks like she’s taking after her daddy in height! For comparison’s sake, here’s a picture of her brother [...]

Last Saturday we headed to Rombach’s Pumpkin Patch. It was a beautiful fall day, so we bundled the kiddies up in their Halloween attire and got ready for many photo ops (because that’s really why we go to the pumpkin patch every year, isn’t it??). Here’s Molly, all gussied up and ready to go:
And then [...]
a belated birthday post

My birthday was September 25, but we spread out the celebrating over a couple of weeks. My grandmother passed away on the 26th, so we delayed the big celebration with my family for a couple of weeks. Even though my birthday was difficult because we knew what was about to happen with my grandma, Travis [...]

Waiting at the window…light saber in one hand, sword in the other. He’s ready. Who’s he waiting for?

So…I’m trying my hand at making my own baby food for Molly. Yeah, I know I’m not special. A lot of people do this. But the thing is, I never once even attempted to try to make my own food with Owen. I think I was a little overwhelmed by the fact that the child [...]
