Silly Me

I have this bad little habit when Ben is out of town. I stay up late, usually doing nothing of much value. I don’t know what it is about him being gone that makes me not want to go to bed. It’s silly. It’s particularly silly knowing that a certain small person (the smallest one) [...]

Trip to the ER

Considering we are coming up on six years of parenthood, it’s quite remarkable that we’ve made it until recently (last Tuesday) without a trip to the Emergency Room.

Milestone Pages

One of the nice things about our old family website was our “milestone” pages where we recorded the kids’ growth and various developmental milestones. It’s also been our online babybook of sorts to refer to quickly if we need to remind ourselves about their development. I’ve figured out a way to keep that going here. [...]

Falling Snow

The blog site has a falling snow option until Jan. 4. It’s kind of cute, although I’m not sure why I added it, as I’m already sick of the snow at our house!  (And winter just started. Sigh!) It’s been sooo cold already. You know it’s been cold when today’s temp of 32 feels WARM! Yikes! [...]
