I don’t know them, but I love them.

I don’t know this couple, but I would invite them to every party we have.    

Healing

Just a quick post to show how well Lainey Bird is healing after getting her stitches out last Friday.  (Pardon the cellphone picture, the scar is above her left eye.) By the way, we have the toughest kid the pediatrician has seen.  Lainey didn’t even notice the stitches being pulled out, she just kept talking and [...]

Peevish

My fellow blogger and good friend, Jane, asked that we list a few pet peeves so here are mine.

When people name their dogs people names… sorry, but it makes me nuts.  And for anyone wondering about one of my dogs being named “Max” you’re wrong… his name is “Maximus” named after Russell Crowe’s character in [...]

We’ve Been Rudolphed!

Today when we opened our front door we found this in a big Ziploc bag.  This is something new in our neighborhood and I have to say I Like It!  There was a gift, a sign for our front door and a letter explaining that we’ve got a secret Santa in the neighborhood who gave [...]

It All Depends on the Pope. An Ode to Aysu.

My dear friend, Aysu, is heading to Raleigh, NC for a fantastic opportunity that I know is good for her. But let’s be realistic, this is my blog so it’ all about me. And I think THIS SUCKS! I can’t believe she’s leaving me.
I know Aysu felt this way when I [...]

I wouldn’t have it any other way…

I remember when I found out I was having another girl and someone asked me if I was going to try again for a boy?  My answer hasn’t changed… “Why would I do that, now our family is perfect… my girls are a gift to each other… they’re sisters?”  And what a crazy pair of girls [...]

She had us in stitches then ended up in stitches…

I can’t tell you how many times Jay and I have said that our 2-year-old Lainey is the toughest kid we’ve ever known but last night she proved it.  We went to her cousin Jake’s birthday party where Lainey was her usual nutty-self making everyone laugh out loud at her antics.   But like any time [...]

Look What I Got!

I got a Macbook… yes, I feel more creative already.  I do feel a bit dumber though.  The problem is that I don’t ’speak’ Mac so I’m learning everyday.  I keep trying to CTRL-c and CTRL-v to cut and paste but it’s just not working … old habits die hard… (although I did install Windows Office [...]

And We’re Back…

Vacations
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve last blogged because the “Griswolds” have been on the road alot this past month.  Jay and I took another trip to Vegas and then we took the whole family to Destin, Florida for the wettest vacation of our lives.   I’ve never been on a vacation before where it rained EVERYDAY… [...]
