Today is my Dad’s birthday. We didn’t get a chance to see him today, although Carrie did get to wish him a happy birthday on the phone. Happy birthday, Daddy! In other news, it was “Pirates and Princesses” day at school today. The kids got to wear a costume to school, so Carrie spent the [...]
My “little” brother turns 30 today. Which makes me…older than 30. ;) He’s on vacation someplace warm right now. I hope he brings home some sunshine!
Um, honey, I totally owe you a birthday gift. And a cake. And, well, any celebration at all for your birthday. Sorry. But, um, Happy Birthday!
I just got home from Christmas shopping. I left after the girls were in bed…or so I thought. I came in from the garage, and I found Denis’ laptop open on the couch, every light on the first floor on, and the dogs sleeping on the part of the couch not taken up with the [...]
My cousin Debbie’s wedding was today…er, yesterday. So Denis’ parents came up to watch the girls while we went to the reception. We did bring them to the ceremony itself, and Carrie was amazingly good – way better than she is at church! I have to admit, it was kind of nice to have a [...]
My great-grandmother will be 100 years old on Wednesday. To celebrate this momentous occasion, all of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren came to a party in her honor.

While there’s still quite a bit of general cleaning that has to happen around the house, the baby’s room is pretty much done, enough of the laundry is done, and at 38+ weeks the baby is close enough to being “done” that I’d be really quite happy if she came any time now. (Actually, though, [...]
Yep, we’re an old married couple. We didn’t even get each other cards. But we are going out for dinner and a movie Saturday night. I have to see the new Indiana Jones movie!
…another girl! We had our 20 week ultrasound today, and the baby looks healthy, active, and completely immodest. So now we know that another little girl is going to join our family this summer! Carrie wanted a brother, apparently, and was pretty disappointed to hear she would be getting a sister instead, but I think [...]
Yep, Carrie’s going to be a big sister this July. And she’s ecstatic, excited, and exhaustingly sweet about it! I hope this explains why I’ve been so incredibly horrid about blogging. I’m so much more tired this time than last time. When I was pregnant with Carrie, I took naps, went to bed early, ate [...]
