It’s time to say good bye to 2008. Hopefully we’ll all have a prosperous, safe, and memorable 2009. Tonight we’re at Great Wolf Lodge having a great time with our kids and my parents. I hope you, too, are having fun with your family and friends as you ring in the New Year.

My parents are up visiting for a couple days, so we went out to dinner tonight. On the way to the restaurant, my dad, who was sitting in the passenger seat as I drove, and I were discussing how Little Man needs to wipe his own butt after he goes to the bathroom instead of [...]

Well, the past day or so has been a bit crazy. It’s been so crazy that I don’t feel very blissfully domestic right now.  Caring for a sick baby is certainly domestic, but it’s not of the blissful variety.
My poor little 13 month old son started throwing up yesterday evening.  He has recently been doing [...]

Now comes the “what I got for Christmas” post. For a couple of weeks leading up to Christmas, my husband had told me that I would really like my present. He said over and over again that I would think it was really cool and that he had to go to three places to [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We did. It was a bit hectic, but what Christmas isn’t, really. Anytime we have to fit in time to see family that is spread out over several states, we feel like we’re stretched a bit.

It’s amazing how efficient he is. At the moment that I’m writing this he’s in Amsterdam, Netherlands, which means it should be a fast [...]

Today we are spending the day at home. I’ve got some last minute stocking stuffer shopping to do. When I get back, we are going to bake cookies for Santa as we watch all the fun Christmas movies on television. Later this evening, we are going to our church’s Christmas Eve service at 7pm. Tomorrow [...]

I haven’t been gone that long, only since Saturday, but it feels like it’s been a week. We were at my parents’ house for an extended family Christmas party Saturday night. We left Saturday morning instead of Friday night because of a snow storm that hit us Friday afternoon. Then we had to stay at [...]

It’s been a crazy past few days, which is why I haven’t written any posts since Monday. Between my daughter’s therapy, buying teacher gifts, class gift exchange gifts, my son’s school events, and getting ready for family Christmas parties, it’s been so busy here that there were times when I wasn’t sure if I was [...]
