When I was little, every Christmas my mom would make let us sing a song before we opened presents. Usually it was a song from our church’s Christmas play. This is one of many amazing photos of Jason and me performing for the fam. Don’t we look excited? And exciting?
Well, besides my beautiful 10 year [...]
Asa is one month old today. It’s hard to believe. It’s been the longest month of my life. But it’s also flown by. I wish I could write all the emotions and feelings that have been flooding my heart and my mind and my body this last month. They’ve been conflicting, that’s for sure.
I’ve been [...]
I remember seeing Super Mario Brothers for the first time. Staci and Mandi had it at home on their big tv downstairs. It was one of those tvs that sat right on the ground like a piece of furniture. I remember they were already in world 8-3 when I was watching it. I just couldn’t [...]
Yesterday I faxed a signed copy of a contract on our house in Birmingham. Yes, that means we sold it. After 20 months on the market, we sold it. And funnily enough, I’m not doing cartwheels about it.
For one, our original asking price was 30k more than we sold it for. We picked that price [...]
In Georgia it rarely snows. And with the onset of *snort* Global Warming, we’ve hardly had any snow the past ten years. You northerners might laugh as we race to get the last loaf of bread at the grocery store or stock up on batteries, but when you only get it once a year, we’re [...]
My brother, Santa & me. (circa 1981.)
We didn’t do Santa at our house, so I don’t really know why Mama and Daddy had us get our pictures taken with him. But isn’t he a cute Santa? He looks very much interested in what I’m saying. It’s funny that I’m even talking to him. I was [...]
Yup, another retro ohamanda pic. But honestly, how cute is this? I couldn’t help but post it!
This is me at 4 1/2 and my brother Jason at 15 months. It’s a very typical shot of me and J–he’s acting crazy and I’m trying to get him under control.
Besides that, I love the house! That brown [...]
Week Five? Yikes! That means we are inching careening closer and closer to the big day–Christmas! So, it’s time for another fun contest-giveaway-thingie! And this one has to do with decorating!
I know some of you had your Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving. Some of us (like my parents) will get theirs up on [...]
We are taking a break from my beautiful black-and-white family pictures to bring you a retro-ohamanda picture. This is my first grade Christmas play at school. I’m sorry it’s so blurry. But I love this picture. All the faces are so familiar to me. I wish I could remember all their names. Let’s see…
The teacher [...]
