Pockets and Blocks

This morning I watched the boys while Brad drove Dawn to the oral surgeon. I pretty much wear cargo pants exclusively, and have for years. The boys are fascinated by the two big pockets near the knees on my pants and every time I come to see them they have to open them […]


‘Cus he’s so cute (Yes, I know that I say that every time)


Internet Socializing

Yesterday Brad spent time helping me make some changes to the blog. I’ve changed the format and added lots of widgets to the side columns as I become involved with using the social networking tools on the internet. I’m just getting started with mybloglog, twitter, and del.icio.us. I’ve been using Google Reader […]


can’t live without

I recently started thinking about writing a post dedicated to some of the things that I have loved over the past few years as a Mom. Stuff that made/makes my life easier and that I enjoy using as part of my “job”. Then today I read this post on Motherhood Uncensored talking about […]


ecstactic moment

Ecstatic moment yesterday:
As I walked in to wake the boys up from their afternoon nap, Forest was starting to wake up on his own. I got down on the floor and put my head close to the crib. Still laying on his tummy, he reached his hand out through the bars and we […]

then and now

One year ago this week their idea of fun was laying in the crib watching the mobile. Now they tear apart the Little People Farm while Logan sings a tune. They used to sleep swaddled on their backs in our bed at night and took naps in the swing or bouncy chair. […]


We wish you a Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful weekend before Christmas and a wonderful Christmas. Good times with friends and family. We are working on some uber cute video from Christmas morning to share, hopefully by tomorrow it’ll be up. Taking the boy’s for their first hair cuts this afternoon, Logan’s curls are officially out of […]


12 month doctor visit

This morning the boys went in for their one year doctor’s visit. They are, and I quote “perfect.”
Logan is weighing 22 lbs 10 oz and is 30 1/2 inches tall.
Forest is weighing 19 lbs 3 oz and is 29 1/2 inches tall.
The doc had some cocerns about Forest not having […]
