Baby Name Help

In: Family| Pregnancy

5 Oct 2009

Usually so many people give “unrequested” advice, especially in pregnancy. But I am having a much more difficult time coming up with names for this boy! Jason and I have really only had 1 or 2 serious conversations about names. (All other conversations have been in jest, and have involved 1 or both of us [...]

Labor Day Weekend

In: Family

8 Sep 2009

I can’t remember the last time we had a FULL 3 1/2 day weekend, and Jason was home for all of it! (This starts his busier time of year, so usually he has to take one of those days off at some later time.)
Anyway, it was so fun to have him come home early Friday, [...]

The girls turned 5 on the 11th. I can’t believe I have 5-year-olds! But it’s been fun to watch them grow up, and each year understand  a little more what birthdays are about. Last year, I think I had to remind them it was their birthday. This year, they counted down every day for about [...]

As many of you know- Jason has left for India. He comes back February 9th.  So, for the next 3 weeks, 6 days, and 22 hours (who’s counting) I’m a single parent. I haven’t decided if I should refer to myself as a widow or a bachelorette…  Both come with their own connotations. ☺

The Great Cleanup

You know you’ve done a good days work if you wake up sore the next morning – right?
Yesterday Elaine and I took on the daunting project of cleaning and organizing the girls’ room. Before we started, their toys were organized in clear plastic tubs on a variety of old bookshelves. Although adequate, Elaine and I [...]
