Friday Photo Flashback

It's been a few weeks since I have done one of these posts. I neglected to write about a pretty big event this week, so let's go back 21 years ago. My oldest son, Dante', was born 21 years ago this week. It is so hard to believe that it has been that long. They … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Spring Scooter!

Ok, not THAT Scooter! Sam went to the store today and saw that the had scooters on sale. These were the ones with two wheels in the front. She couldn't pass up the deal and grabbed one for each kid. I woke up a bit early this afternoon and it was such a nice day … Continue reading Spring Scooter! →

Easter Weekend Recap

I hope your Easter weekend was as good as mine. It seemed like we were constantly on the go, but it was filled with many wonderful moments. I worked Friday night, so I came home and went right to sleep. Sam's mom and dad were hosting Easter dinner on Saturday afternoon. I grabbed a few … Continue reading Easter Weekend Recap →

Spring Is For Splashing!

We have had a lot of rain over the past couple days. It has rained so much that the small city park near us was completely flooded! While I slept today, Sam said there was torrential rains. When I got up, I could see that the backyard was flooded. I have to give credit where … Continue reading Spring Is For Splashing! →

This Looks Like a Job For …

I could have used Bob the Builder or Handy Manny today! I would have settled for Tim the Toolman Taylor! Sam bought a climber/triangle/something or other for the kids and it arrived today. I figured it would be an easy thing to put together, especially since the reviews said so. Then, I opened the box … Continue reading This Looks Like a Job For … →

Steak, Paint & Bunnies

Our wedding anniversary was this past Sunday. Five years! Sam had to work Sunday, and we had both taken a day off to celebrate. She took Monday off and I took yesterday. Originally, the plan was to take a little overnight trip somewhere. However, after much talk, we decided that there were things we could … Continue reading Steak, Paint & Bunnies →

Trying to Unblock Writer’s Block

I've been struggling to write. I'm sure it is because I have had a lot of things on my mind over the past couple weeks. The things on my mind are not necessarily things I want to write about. It's hard to be in this place. I'm still struggling to get through it, and pray … Continue reading Trying to Unblock Writer’s Block →

Friday Photo Flashback

It has been a few weeks since I've done one of these. I'm not sure why it has been so long. Anyway, with this being a holiday, I found one that I wanted to re-share. Today, I was going through Facebook Memories and I saw this photo from last year: We snapped this on Andrew's … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Baby Proofed?

We never really had to baby proof for Ella. I think the only thing we had to do was put plugs over the power outlets. This was more of a precaution than anything. She never seemed to want to do anything dangerous. She never went in cupboards, she never pulled out drawers, and she never … Continue reading Baby Proofed? →

Picky Eater

Ella used to eat pretty much everything we put on her plate. Now that she is three, she tends to be very selective about what she will eat. There are plenty of times when she will ask for a "staple" food and won't eat it. It is frustrating. Andrew on the other hand, surprises us … Continue reading Picky Eater →
