So Curious I moved all of my nail polish, remover, etc after the last time Betsy got into it and broke a bottle of polish. But she managed to get into the back of the cabinet, behind some rather large boxes and pull it all out. Such a clever girl. I think I might … [Read more…]
Carson Talks Christmas And acts like a 3 year old. The original video is almost 4 minutes long and includes an entire section where I ask him questions and he answers “no!” to every single one with a huge grin. And just so you know, other responses I get to Christmas questions are “Santa was … [Read more…]
Story of my life Sometimes I just feel really out of sorts. I can’t think very clearly, I have a hard time making easy decisions, I can’t find simple words when I’m talking to people, I forget to take things out of the dryer that need to air dry, I forget to do laundry … [Read more…]
15 Month Check Up Betsy and I went to see our wonderful pediatrician (I seriously do love her) today for her 15 month check up. She had to get 3 shots, but she was a champ. I drove straight to the doctor after dropping Carson off at school. Bad decision. I don’t really know … [Read more…]

Stair Climbing Kids Betsy, Micah and Carson headed up to play. I love how Carson is watching over the babies :) Today was a good Saturday. I took Carson to get a hair cut, then ran a couple errands (groceries and a return) while Ben stayed home with Betsy. After we got back the … [Read more…]
It’s actually cold here! A cold front came through on Thursday and has really brought true winter temperatures. Thankfully we did not get the ice and related issues like Dallas did. We have been enjoying our fireplace and getting some great use out of our winter clothes, especially this North Face jacket that we … [Read more…]
Redeeming myself We had a dinner with the Hartmans and Gilberts a while back at our house. I’d had all the ingredients to make caramel turtles for a while and so we decided to make them for dessert. I’ve made caramel before, but had forgotten how finicky candy can be. I cooked the caramel … [Read more…]
Christmas Lights I love, love, love putting up twinkle light in the house. I kind of wish I could keep them up all year long. Betsy and Carson love them, too.
Baby Z #3! Coming June 2014 This pickles and ice cream picture was hard fought. I do not have photographers at my disposal nor do I have much skill with my camera or with “staging” photographs. I’m a mom. That’s my main job. The rest is hobby, so it is not perfect. Have you ever … [Read more…]
