Never Seen One Before

This afternoon when I got up for work, I sat by the window in our living room with my cup of coffee. On the baseball field behind our house, two teams were playing one of the final games of the season. Ella was sitting on my lap, and Sam was on the floor with Andrew. … Continue reading Never Seen One Before →

At one point, Sam, the … Continue reading Post Weekend Update & Trivia →

A Happy Weekend

Tuesdays mean back to work for me. Technically, Mondays are still part of my "weekend." Yesterday, I wrote about the amazing birthday I had Monday, but wanted to share a few other highlights from the past couple days. Sunday was Mother's Day. Sadly, Sam had to work that night. That didn't stop us from celebrating. … Continue reading A Happy Weekend →

Heading into the Weekend

Ah, Saturday! A day of rest and relaxation, right? The weekend is here and there is nothing to do, right? Well, not for me. It's gonna be a pretty busy weekend.

We’ve Gone to the Dogs!

We've talked about getting a dog for some time. Sam has always wanted a dog, but there were so many things that we needed to do first. We don't have a fully fenced in yard, for example. We also were concerned with how the dog would react to the kids - not to mention our … Continue reading We’ve Gone to the Dogs! →
