Warning: this post has a number of references to donkey kicking. I don’t normally use such harsh language, but I do feel quite strongly about this subject. If you are offended by donkey kicking, feel free to click away. You could go read about why Grover is bitter. Dear Neighbors, We all get along really, [...]
Hm, I think we’ve done our civic duty this long weekend… We opened the pool. We grilled – for three days straight. (I think I need to eat nothing but salad for the next three weeks.) We did not, unfortunately, see a parade – everyone thought it would be too noisy for Carrie. Maybe next [...]
You know, keeping my room clean would be a lot easier if I didn’t have everything from a size 8 to a size 18 (there, yes, I said it) stuffed in every possible shelf and drawer. Seriously, I have a double dresser all to myself, a huge armoire that is way more than half mine, [...]
We went to Friendly’s for lunch today, and although I packed everything Carrie needed to eat (oatmeal and applesauce, bibs, spoons and wet wipes) I forgot to put her sippy cup in the diaper bag. It’s not as though she ever drinks very much water anyway, but I do like to give her some water [...]
Carrie tried oatmeal today. As with everything else she’s tried, she was more than happy to eat it. It’s not that I want her to not like something, but I’m amazed that she seems to like everything. I guess it’s time to get a little more adventurous with trying new foods? I really ought to [...]
We just couldn’t make it home yesterday, we were all so tired. Fortunately my grandparents live in Ithaca, so we crashed there for the night. They were thrilled to see Carrie, so it worked out all around. While we were visiting after Carrie when to bed, my grandpa taught me how to play poker (I’ve [...]
(Although, based on how much sleep I actually got last night, I feel like maybe I should be…) Spamalot! was fantastic! I think I can honestly say it’s the funniest musical I’ve ever seen, and possibly ever will see. We had front row balcony seats, which were wonderful, and we got to see the entire [...]
Dear Carolyn, Time is just flying by – you’re already seven months old! You’ve changed so much in the past month I hardly know where to start… You crawl now, everywhere and on every surface. You’ve learned to sit on your own. It’s the cutest thing ever – you get up on your hands and [...]
Today is our 6th wedding anniversary. We’re didn’t really do much to celebrate, since we’re going to see Spamalot! on Tuesday. But we did spend the day with Carrie and two of our nieces: That’s enough to make anyone smile.
I used to get terribly carsick on rides with my family, but I thought I’d grown out of it. Nope. Apparently, the backseat is a really bad place for me to be in a car, and especially behind the driver. Carrie’s new carseat is behind the passenger seat, and since we had to drive for [...]
