What’s Been Up?

My apologies to you dear reader. It seems that I neglected to mention that last Friday was International Tuba Day! I actually played tuba for a short time in high school. Ella and Andrew had their final T-ball practice on Monday. It really is organized chaos and so fun to watch. They were practicing batting, … Continue reading What’s Been Up? →

Thinking Inside the Box

You may remember that we recently bought some new appliances at our house. When they were delivered, the guys who brought them cut the boxes up to get the appliances out. They also took the remnants of those boxes when they left. For one brief moment, as our fridge was being delivered, I remembered my … Continue reading Thinking Inside the Box →

I Should Have Known

Yesterday morning when I came home from work, the family shared some donuts I picked up from a local shop.  It has sort of become a Saturday morning treat.

(Insert Creative Title Here)

We had our garage sale on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday may have been busier than the rest of my weekend. I got my steps in for the day, that's for sure! You may remember that when we were expecting Ella, we took what was our dining room and built a wall to make a … Continue reading (Insert Creative Title Here) →

The Last Year Has Been One-derful

When I get home in the morning, my little girl will be two years old. My wife probably didn't intend on making me cry, but she sent me a picture of her sleeping in her crib with the message "Last picture as a 1 year old," but she did. I wish I had taken the … Continue reading The Last Year Has Been One-derful →

A Week In Review

Tonight I return to work after being off for 6 days. The best thing about being off was being able to spend time with my family. Naturally, I had my camera ready and caught many wonderful moments. Wednesday We were very minimal with the ornaments we put on the tree this year. Ella is all … Continue reading A Week In Review →
