  • Curse of Motherhood

    Our plane leaves approximately 7 1/2 hours. The bags are almost packed except for the few things we’ll need in the morning. I should be going to bed, since I have to wake up in 5 1/2 hours. And I shouldn’t even be thinking about bed since I should be so excited for vacation to…

  • Ronnie – 2:07, Lori – 2:40

    Saturday morning Ronnie and I got up bright and early (approximately 5:30 a.m.) to drag our butts to Crown Center for the Waddell & Reed Kansas City Marathon. We had signed up to run the Half Marathon which is 13.1 miles, and here we were, this chilly October morning. This was Ronnie’s first race ever,…

  • Skyler’s 1-year photos

    Rebecca posted Skyler’s slideshow from her photo session last week. Of course she did a wonderful job and I’m looking forward to seeing all the other ones as well!

  • New Toy

    Skyler got a new toy on Saturday. Her Daddy is going to take care of it for her until she’s big enough to ride it herself. Maybe a tricycle might have been a better choice for her?

  • Mish Mosh

    I’ve got several random photos of Skyler to update. I realize how lucky I am to be in the digital age where I can take pictures over and over till I get something cute. For every one good picture, I’ve got about five bad ones of Skyler blinking or not doing that cute thing that…

  • Play Date

    On Sunday, Skyler and I went to meet two other mommies and their kiddos at my all-time favorite park, Antioch Park. I’m so glad that it hasn’t changed much in all the years since I’ve been there! We used to go there as children, and the things that were my favorite, like the “town” and…

  • Catching up – Part II: Skyler’s 1st Birthday

    Skyler’s big day was great! I can’t believe it has actually come and gone already. And, I can’t believe I haven’t done any of the things that I’d planned to do for her birthday, like create a slideshow of her first year for this blog, and write her a letter on that day. I guess…

  • Just one…

    I’m still waiting for photos from my mom before I post the birthday story, but here’s a quick one to share. Overall, it was a fun time, and Skyler got lots of great toys. I can’t wait for her to wake up from her much needed nap so she can start playing with them!

  • The Big One

    Today was Skyler’s first birthday! It’s a kind of bittersweet to be so excited about today, when it’s also a day of mourning and remembrance for the events of 9-11-01. But according to the Bible, there is a time for everything. I love these verses because they help me focus on living a balanced life…

  • Time Capsule

    I was inspired for this post after reading this one. While I was thoroughly entertained by the awkward photo progression of this complete stranger, all I could think of was what my post would look like. So here goes… Aw, cute little tyke! I think my tee says “cookie crumbler.” Gotta love baby clothes. And…
