It’s so fun to pull out John Michael’s old baby pictures and flip through them and compare them to what Matthew is looking like now.  It’s so cool having two boys so close in age.  What’s funny is that I have been looking at John Michael’s pictures from 2-3 months to get the comparison to [...]

This is what greeted us when I got up for a 3AM feeding!  The snow was falling it kept on through the night and into the morning.  We had even more snow than we did on Christmas day!

Since we were lazy on Christmas Day and didn’t take JM out to play in the snow, we decided [...]

Last Thursday wasn’t only the crazy day of the Saga of the Balloon Boy (which, I still don’t have words for that whole mess), but it was my turn to host playgroup!  My friend, Jessica, helped me out with the food and I am so thankful to her!  I really needed to host sometime in [...]

This latest dessert that I made deserved its very own blog post.  I could go on and on about it, but I’ll just show you the picture.

It needs no words.  It’s just plain yum and it just screams FALL!  Between the apples, pecans, and the praline glaze it just feels like something that you would [...]

**Apparently pregnancy brain is getting the best of me today.  I didn’t include the directions for my squash casserole.  This makes two things I messed up in a big way in one day….can anyone say we had to go to Chik-fil-A for dinner tonight instead of eating beef stew.  Long story.  Anyway, the directions are [...]

We hosted playgroup at our house today, and let me tell you, we had the best time!  We celebrated John Michael’s birthday again, of course, and everything was great! I used some leftover decorations and got some balloons.  The kids played so well (we DO have enough toys for a daycare you know) and all the [...]

“Since I’ve turned one I’ve been doing pretty big things lately!  Mama and Dada are so amazed by me everyday.  They say I am the smartest and cutest baby in the whole world.  I think they might be just a little biased.
First off, I wowed everybody by picking up a cd, opening up the cd [...]

Last night we had our Sunday School shower for Amy, who is expecting twin girls!  She’s kind of on house arrest until those little girls come, so we came to her!  Oh yeah, and she also has a precious one year old!  She’s going to be one busy lady.  As usual, we had a great [...]

Sunday night we had our Sunday School get together for the Super Bowl and last night we had a baby shower for Robin!  We have the world’s best Sunday School class.  It is such a lovely group of ladies to be around.  Everyone was so welcoming when we were so new to class.  I hate [...]

Gymboree was fantastic and SO much fun!  I’m excited to try the music class on Wednesday.  I’m not excited about the price but we’ll [...]
