So we’ve all been sick, all week, and when Carrie woke up at 3:30 AM Saturday with a 102° fever we decided to call off today’s party. I can’t say I wasn’t just a tiny bit relieved, since being sick all week I’ve done nothing around the house. However, I have done something with my [...]
Dear Carolyn, Today you are three years old! You didn’t quite believe us at first, because you thought you needed to have a party before you could turn three, but I think we managed to convince you by the time Daddy left for work. (You’re still waiting, patiently, for your ladybug cake, though!) In honor [...]
I always go to festivals with a dollar amount firmly fixed in my mind that I will not go over. And then, of course, there’s one or two things I can’t leave without and that number goes *way* out the window. (Luckily, I know this, so I set my dollar amount much lower than it [...]

Knitting Daily had a poll about the number of UFOs we each had. I had to try to do a physical count, and I came up with 18. That counts everything from things I know I’ll never finish to socks without mates. Don’t ask me about sewing, quilting, spinning or anything else. That was just [...]
This morning Carrie came into our room about 10 seconds after Denis turned off the alarm and announced, “Mommy, I’m soooooo happy to see you! I missed you sooooooo much!” I suppose there are worse ways to wake up!
Denis’ company had a gathering a farm that does a pretty serious cornfield maze every year. After a hearty lunch of pizza and pie we were broken up into groups of 4-5 and released into the maze. Our team made it out in 55 minutes, thanks in part to some serious good luck (we really [...]
OK, so it might a little too soon to declare absolute true love, but I am in extreme like with my new Dansko shoes. I bought them yesterday because my poor abused feet couldn’t take another day of standing all day in my ill-fitting (but adorable) Sketchers. It’s amazing what a bit of good arch [...]
