Goof and Goofier

I love this picture! Me and Greg were getting goofy with the camera after the thanksgiving eatery and drinkery and putting the worn-out boy to beddery.
I love it because we were both making goofy faces independent of each other, but ended up looking like both our faces got smushed on the same piece of invisible [...]

My legs are going to be sore tomorrow.

Greg and I usually get eachother one big joint thing for christmas, rather than spending a bunch of money on random things for eachother we don’t need. This year we decided to get eachother bikes. One awesome side-effect of moving from the ‘burbs’ to downtown means that bikes are for more than just excersise. They [...]

Nothing Sweeter

Last week, while on my mission to read as many books as I can this year and reading Laurie Notaro’s ‘The Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club’ I came across the chapter where she described an incident with a candied apple.

Dumb and Dumber

A few Saturdays ago I was at a baby shower at Foster’s in Durham (Awesome place by the way, I had never been there before, but hope to have many excuses to go back soon) and as we sat out on their covered patio, many excited carpenter bees were busy showering the mommy to be [...]

After donating TONS of goods [...]

Yes Sir, That’s My Baby

We spent New Year’s Eve at with our friends Fiquet and Thad. It was great, especially because it was the first in probably three years that we didn’t sleep through midnight. Fiquet had been clever enough to suggest that we could just bring Nolan and have him go to sleep in her guest room [...]

Christmas in da house

For some reason I did not quite realize until this Christmas that we really go all out when decorating for Christmas, about 500% more than we get into any of the other holidays. My husband is really, REALLY into Christmas decorations, especially if they are snowmen, so over the years an assortment of snowmen have [...]

Mr Personality

Today my son sang at church along with the other kids in his little Sunday class. He is our son that’s for sure! That’s him off to the left in the picture. While the other kids sang their little hearts out, not only did Nolan not sing, but he also stood a little away from [...]
