The Great Stall Tactic

Those who have toddlers understand. I posted this on my Facebook page and thought it was funny enough to share here. Ella is quite smart. She is in the terrible two stage right now.

Making Spirits Bright

I saw a thing on Facebook that made me laugh.  It said, "It only snows in November because people decorate early for Christmas." Blame me if you wish, but we needed to brighten things up over this way!  There has been a lot going on in my life, some of which I have shared and … Continue reading Making Spirits Bright →

Halloween Recap

Halloween 2022 is now behind us. The day started with me and the kids getting our flu shots. I, of course, waited until the last possible minute to get mine for work. As we drove home, one of the neighbors had put up a HUGE inflatable pumpkin. Ella saw it from the window, and despite … Continue reading Halloween Recap →

I’m Just Going to Leaf This Here …

Just a few days ago I posted pictures of the colorful trees in the neighborhood. All it took was a windy rainy day this week and many of those leaves have now fallen. As you walk through the neighborhood now, the ground is covered in yellow, red and orange while the trees are more and … Continue reading I’m Just Going to Leaf This Here … →

Pictures Perfect

I'm not sure I'd ever have what it takes to be a photographer. Oh sure, many people comment on the pictures I take with my phone and post on Facebook, but they are far from professional. There is a local photographer close by that has never disappointed us with her photos. She took Ella's First … Continue reading Pictures Perfect →

Under the Knife

Andrew had his surgery today. You may remember his sleep study showed severe sleep apnea. A diagnosis of laryngomalacia was given and today the surgery was to correct that. Going in we knew that there would be at least one surgery for sure and a list of possible others. The possibles would be assessed after … Continue reading Under the Knife →

This Little Piggy Likes to Rock and Roll

When Sam and I started dating, my wardrobe consisted of many "band" shirts. I had shirts from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, and many more. At one point she started wearing my shirts, so I made sure to get her a couple for her birthday. Band shirts has been an inside joke … Continue reading This Little Piggy Likes to Rock and Roll →

Christmas in September

To say that the past few days have been stressful is an understatement. There have been some very good moments and I tried to just take them all in. However, something was on my mind all weekend. I'm not going to get into detail on that. I could, but I won't. Let me just state … Continue reading Christmas in September →

Where Am I Going?!

Yesterday I took the kids to a birthday party for a co-worker's daughter. She lives about 40-45 minutes from me. I punched the address into the GPS and it told me where to go. My co-worker sent me a text saying to look for the pink and purple balloons on the mailbox on the side … Continue reading Where Am I Going?! →
