Wiping Grandma’s Face Betsy has started imitating things. When people cough or sneeze she’ll try to do it, and will also try to do some things she sees other people do. I’m not sure exactly how this started, but tonight she was wiping Kate’s face. It was darling. This morning Kate, Steve and Ben went … [Read more…]
Visiting Uncle Chris’s House I’d only seen pictures of his place and was excited to get to see some of the work he’d done on it. His house in only a couple miles from ours (on some windy and hilly roads). It’s a really great house with tremendous views. I can see why people want … [Read more…]
Headed to LA! We left for Los Angeles this afternoon. We are spending a week out there with Ben’s family for Christmas. The flight was ok, but not without a few issues. Betsy fought sleep like a champ, but did finally take a 45 minute nap. Ben’s drink spilled when we went through some turbulence. … [Read more…]
At the Doctor We leave for LA tomorrow, which means I have tons to do, and I don’t have the mental capacity to plan out how to get it all done in an efficient way. Thankfully our flight doesn’t leave until after lunch. One of the things I needed to do today was get … [Read more…]
Breakfast with MorMor I met my mom in Columbus today after dropping Carson off at school so that we could trade Christmas gifts. While mailing them (at least for me) would’ve cost about the same as the gas I used, it was well worth it to have eggs, bacon, biscuits and hashbrowns with … [Read more…]

Gingerbread House My sisters and I started a tradition of making gingerbread houses when I was in college. I think we made them every year for 4 or 5 years, and then we all got married and had kids and the whole thing became a lot harder to pull off. But they were works … [Read more…]
Christmas Community Group Dinner What a blessing it is to be a part of a good church and within that body of believers to be a part of a group of like-minded people who get together to study the Word and fellowship and build relationships. I am so very thankful for our church and … [Read more…]
First Marshmallow! And she loved it. Of course. More proof that she is in fact my flesh and blood. We went to the Van Kleefs tonight for Lights in the Heights. We didn’t walk around at all, but just driving down the streets was a lot of fun. Carson is way more into Christmas … [Read more…]
Feet Selfie I guess Carson is privy to the current obsession people have with taking pictures of their feet. He had my phone tonight and took quite a few pictures of the living room ceiling, a couple of Ben and me, a lot of his feet a quite a few of himself. Some were … [Read more…]
