  • All in One

    Since I can barely keep up, I’m going to just throw a bunch of stuff together in this post! And while I am still working on the video from Rockfest last week, I’ve got lots of new photos to post. Here goes – Mulberries! When we bought this house a little over 3 years ago,…

  • Annual Mother’s Day Picnic

    Every year on Mother’s Day we head to Antioch Park for a picnic. Some years we’ve done breakfast, but most year, we grill out hamburgers & hot dogs. This year was especially fun now that Skyler could run around and play. She is obsessed with “outsee”, so the park was a total hit. We didn’t…

  • Spongebob

    Skyler has been getting more interested in what’s on the TV lately. Sometimes she likes to site with me and watch for a few minutes. Though some would argue that TV is bad for children, I am actually trying to influence my daughter to find the TV interesting and get to the point of watching…

  • Poor Me

    Even after the previous post of listing all the fun things I have to look forward to in the next few months, I find myself having PMS, or Poor Me Syndrome. Sure, it probably also coincides with the original meaning of the acronym PMS, but this week I’m especially feeling sorry for myself. It’s just…

  • Where do I start?

    Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with all the possible posts I could be making! Again, this would be a fantastic time for someone to hurry up and invent the wireless-automatic-blog-publisher thingy so I could blog hands-free throughout the week, or at least get some posts drafted. First, I haven’t officially posted an announcement for fear…

  • Walker Texas Ranger

    That’s what we call Skyler now! Here I caught her walking around the living room. She ran right into me, and then discovered the camera was running. I love the look she gives the camera at the end!

  • Self Pity (sorry this is a long one)

    Why is it that even when things are going so well, I still can’t help but get stuck in a rut about stuff? Both Ronnie’s and my jobs are going well and appear fairly secure, which is so much to be thankful for as the rest of the economy falls apart. We own a home…

  • Motherhood, thus far

    It occurs to me daily, how lucky I am. I was given a gift I never asked for, and yet it was the best gift I ever received. My life has been forever changed, and although the depth of joy is astounding, there is a sharp pain that accompanies it. Skyler’s smiles and laughs bring…

  • What Not to Wear

    These days, I am afraid that I could easily be submitted as a target for that TLC show, What Not to Wear. That’s the one where a person’s friends and family submit them to the show for how badly they dress, and ask Stacy and Quentin to show them how to dress fashionably for their…

  • Our finicky eater

    We are still battling Skyler’s eating issue! We quit feeding her solid food about a week ago to rule that issue out. She seemed to be eating a little more, but still only 3 – 5 ounces. We also made sure to switch her back to Similac since that’s the kind she’s always liked. I…
