Happy Memorial Day!

Before I ramble on about my nonsense, let me take a moment to say thank you to all the soldiers, past and present, in our country. Yesterday, I was watching my favorite Sunday morning show on CBS and they were showing pictures of the headstones at Arlington Cemetary. So many of those who died were [...]

I Saw Cate Smile Today

I took Emma and Cate over to the “Back 25″ to see Grandma and Grandpa. I was going to stop and see Janie’s dad but no one was over there and I don’t like stopping by myself.
After sitting there for awhile, I decided to run to the grocery store to get the stuff for Billy [...]

She Makes Me Think

Who you ask? Why my beloved friend, Tali. I just read her blog entry about the expectations of men – you can find her blog from the link on the side of mine, I haven’t figured out how to put links in my entries.
Do I ask too much of Billy? Am I unreasonable? Last night [...]

Where Do I Begin?

I just wrote the last thank you note on my list and the laundry is calling me. I need to go get stamps today. My allergies are still driving me crazy.
Cate slept five hours straight last night! I was excited. Billy said it was the best night of sleep he had in ages. She slept [...]

Happy Birthday, Emma!

My big girl is 2 today! And this entry is going to be short because the natives are getting restless here. Emma got a Doodle Pro for her birthday from us and another one from her Great Aunt Mary that comes with a travel size one, too. She loves them. Grandma got her a big [...]

Now Something Happy

We celebrated Emma’s 2nd birthday tonight even though it’s not until Tuesday. Billy will have to work late that day and his parents are swamped with taking care of their aging fathers.
MIL went with me yesterday to this big yard sale. I got a bunch of clothes for Emma and a thing or two for [...]

Warning: This One Is Going to Be Long

It is a gorgeous day outside and I just came from sitting in the comfy plastique chair on my deck and reading a magazine, sipping ice water, eating a brownie and soaking up some Vitamin D.
I was reading this article in the magazine (Family Circle, MIL brought me) about how to improve your marriage [...]

Sweet Slumber

Both girls are napping. Let me say that again, both girls are napping! I have had such a wonderful Wednesday!
I got Emma & Cate ready in record time and arrived at Mary’s by 9:30 a.m. (an hour earlier than last week!) She had Emilie, Ethan, Jaden, and Sarah. Shortly after I got there, her older [...]

In the Pink

I should be sleeping, but I’m not. The house is still and quiet. I’ve discovered a secret (on advice from a wise friend). I put Cate on her stomach and she sleeps quite happily now. She didn’t like sleeping on her back. When we would hold her she would be face down on our chest [...]
