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 [...]


organic

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 [...]

First Birthday Party

I wanted to make time to catch up about the boys’ birthday(s). This year they got to have two parties, one in California and one in Texas. They were champs about the cake and opening presents and had a blast at both. The one in California was sort of a side note [...]
