No CommentsRequired Sleeping
She’s quite a bit bigger now now at 8 1/2 months, but Sydney still requires just as much sleep as she did at 14 weeks. I’ve been exhausted lately and have to admit I’m completely jealous of her freedom to take naptime whenever she feels it’s...

1 CommentHome Improvements
Chris and I began two big home improvement projects last weekend. We began repainting the living room a much lighter color (toasted almond) – we still have quite a ways to go! We also built our very own canvas and painted it with acrylic paint and home interior “oops” paint from a local hardware store....

… After they play. We’ve had lots of rain here, broken up by short bits of sunshine. On sunny days we let Annie and Sydney spend as much of the day outside as possible. It’s so much fun to watch them chase each other around the garden beds we’re building. There are lots of muddy...

My nephew Patchen Sebastian was born last Thursday morning at 8 lb 15 oz. He’s beautiful and sweet and wonderful, as all babies are. My niece Madison is a doll, too, at two and a half years old. Having been the baby herself for a while, she’s just beginning to understand what it means to...

No CommentsDarrell the Pumpkin
Pumpkin-carving is such a fun, creative craft. I love it. Chris and I look forward to “pumpkin time” every year, and this year we decided to carve our pumpkin with a character from The Office, our favorite show. We chose Darrell from the Warehouse because it was easy, and he our stencil of him...

No CommentsThe Littlest Notre Dame Fan
This pic is of my niece wearing my Notre Dame hat. Isn’t she adorable? Whenever I see her, she’s always fascinated with a hat or necklace or earrings I’m wearing… she’s quite the two-year-old fashionista. I can’t wait to see her and her mommy in a few weeks!! By the way, the Notre Dame Fighting...

No CommentsBack Again
My blog is so behind, and I apologize. I started classes again on Aug 23, celebrated 27 years on Aug 28, and left for Chicago with my sis on Aug 29. We came back to a firestorm on Sept 2, and I haven’t had a chance to come up for air. BUT, the trip was...
