  • Mini-update

    1) We haven’t made it to the glasses shop to buy Skyler glasses yet. It’s been a crazy busy week for both Ronnie and I, and after two doctor appointments for Skyler last week, we just haven’t had time to take off. I hope Target Optical is open on Saturday, because that is when I…

  • Things I am…

    …amazed at the things Skyler is learning in preschool. This week is “shapes,” so I naturally thought this will be a breeze for her since she’s known circles, squares, triangles, and even octagons forever now. But as of today, the four shapes they’ve covered this week are ellipse, diamond, pentagon, and octagon. She also came…

  • Weekend Update

    I hate getting behind on here. Every day that goes by that I haven’t updated about certain things adds to the stress of having to write one long, boring blog post. And so then I keep avoiding it and the problem spirals deeper. We are anxiously awaiting Spring! Last week we had that little tease…

  • Popping In

    There’s been a lack of blog posts lately but for pretty good reason. We’ve been busy and I guess I haven’t needed to complain about anything. Ronnie and I got back late Sunday night from a fantastic ski trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and went right back to work Monday morning. We’re not even unpacked.…

  • Life as We Know It

    If you start a blog post out with “Not a lot of excitement in our household lately…” it’s probably not the best way to keep anyone who happens upon this post enticed to keep reading. So I won’t. But, I guess we’re in kind of status quo land lately. Ronnie is super busy at work…

  • Hodge Podge

    – Halloween was a success! I was going to do a whole blog post on it but haven’t had the time…maybe that will come later. Skyler’s persistence to be Goofy worked out despite the lack of readily available costumes. It just forced this mama to get creative, and who doesn’t love going to the craft…

  • Counting Down

    Our Florida vacation is right around the corner, and every hour it gets closer the more my mind wants to check out of work. But this week became oddly busy at work so the more I want to check things off my to-do list to wrap up before I’m out of the office for six…

  • Needy

    I need more of these things, at least… – Naps – Favorite jeans – Quiet time reading a good book – Date nights – Long runs – Time and scenery to take photos – Time to download photos – Long vacations – Three day weekends – Time to paint – Decorations for this house –…

  • Improvising

    I’m typing the first blog post on my new laptop, out on the deck in this lovely evening, while Ronnie and Skyler pick mulberries. My lack of blogging has not been a lack of words or photos, but more of a logistical issue that when I’m blogging, I’m stuck at the desktop computer in our…

  • 2:30 in the Morning

    As I sit here eating a bowl of Marshmallow Matey’s (white trash version of Lucky Charms) at 2:30 on Wednesday morning, I’m regretting writing yesterday that I just haven’t had time to blog, because here I am, when I’d rather be sleeping. I’ve been wide awake since maybe 12:30 – my mind has raced all…
