The panic starts

We leave tomorrow for our road trip to Minnesota to spend Thanksgiving with my extended family at my cousin’s house in Orono. I’m starting to get a bit nervous. Nothing big. This is the first time we’ve really had to travel a good distance for a holiday. It’s just a little stressful making sure that […]

All I want for Christmas…

We braved the mall on Saturday. It’s already crazy busy. I’m really not a huge fan. But we promised we’d take the boys to see Santa. Noah came prepared. He brought one of his toy catalogs.

This year, I’ve been asking him what he wants from Santa. I hate to admit it, but I’ve been […]

Where do they come from???

We’ve been having a problem with flies lately. In our bathroom. Our upstairs, master bathroom. About one each day.

Where on earth do they come from? I wondered this often, until I saw one fly out of our heat register. Huh? That’s a new one. Or maybe not. Whatever the case, it was bizarre. And […]

Noah the photographer

For Noah’s 4th birthday, we got him a kiddie camera. He has been having a really good time with it ever since. It’s not anything really fancy, but it takes decent pictures.

Here’s a sampling:

The upside-down picture of Caden is actually a self-portrait-he tends to hold the camera upside-down! […]

My own McDreamy

No, I’m not talking about Andy (though he is a bit dreamy!). I’m talking about my own Patrick Dempsey doll! I would prefer for him to be in scrubs, but a suit and overcoat will do just fine. Maybe I could fashion some scrubs for him?

Celebrity, shmelebrity

Have celebrities always been so stupid, getting away with crazy stuff, and not having to really pay for it? Lindsey, Britney, Nicole, Paris… Okay, maybe the word “celebrity” is too broad. Blond(ish), 20-somethings who have lots of money are getting away with ridiculous things. Maybe it’s the money thing. I don’t know, but it’s getting […]

Book suggestions?

I just finished “Smart Girls Like Me” by Diane Vadino. I think I finished it in record time for me. I borrowed it from the library and only had 10 days to finish it, and I finished it in 6 days! Yeah me!

Anyway, I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions for books for me […]

Ay yah!

We took Noah to a trial karate class tonight. I got a coupon to try free for a week, then a free uniform. So tonight we had our free trial.

We learned to bow when we enter the building, and bow when we step onto the mat. I say “we” because the parents are expected […]

Our little cherub

Noah is old enough to sing in the “Cherub Choir” at our church. It’s for kids 3 years old to 1st grade. When I first asked if he wanted to do it, he said “maybe when I’m older.” We convinced him to take a shot.

He had his second rehearsal the other day, and it’s […]

Badger day with Caden

Yesterday, we took Caden to the Badger game with Andy’s parents. It was the Michigan game, as well as our chili tailgate day. I’m telling you, we Wisconsin fans know how to tailgate! Caden was happy with his apple and chips. And he’s perfectly entertained tossing the football around with Grandpa!
