Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

My Great-Great Aunt Nell & 11 of my cousins in some form or fashion. 1953.
This is one of those pictures that my great-uncles sends out to his kids every day (!). When it’s our “branch” of the tree, he sends it to us, too. He hasn’t sent one in awhile and I realized he probably [...]

I’ll keep it short and sweet…
Jason: Boring.
David: (see rant below)
Brooke: Self-Conscious.
David: Great.
Syesha: Broadwaaaay.
NOW. Let’s [...]

Haba Haba Hoo!

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

At the spur of the moment I decided to take Lydia to storytime at a mom & pop bookstore near us. It’s a cute old house that’s been turned into a kids’ bookstore dream. They had every kids’ book you can imagine. Every cool educational toy, science kit and cute stuffed animal. The lady that [...]

My Normal Monday-ness

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Lydia is in her bed. She’s supposed to be sleeping. You know, as in the daily nap that 2 year olds (and their parents) desperately need? Well, she’s apparently forgotten how important this nap is and is singing and laughing and talking. At least she’s not crying.
Guess what? We’re officially closing on our house on [...]

Me & Lydia, my firstborn.

The OTHER Winner

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Last night as I was going to bed I suddenly remembered that I had TWO books to give away for my bloggy giveaway. And I only announced one winner yesterday.
Apparently, the baby isn’t only sucking my creativity. *sigh*
So, Amber wins one book and according to Mr. Random.Org…
Heidi is our 2nd winner! Heidi doesn’t have a [...]

The Wonderful Winner of All

Friday, April 25th, 2008

And the winner is…well, I’m vascilating. I was just going to randomize it, but I just get so bored doing that. However, I think the baby in my belly is eating my creativity. And the cuteness that inspires more is in the bed at the moment, so I just can’t think of any fun ways [...]

Go check out my recap on The Disney Blog. I really want to hear what you thought!
(oh, [...]
