Holly Jolly Christmas

So, I didn’t get out the Christmas cards, and I think that the 12 days of Christmas are over.  Oh well, I am a slacker…  To make a mends, I promise all of our aunts/uncles and grandparents that there will be cards and picture of the girls in the mail shortly. Thank goodness for blogs.…

Monster Mash

When I posted the “Everyday is Halloween” blog, I left out an entire thing about our little Halloween party.  As I said in the other Halloween themed post, I love an excuse to eat candy and have fun.  When I was a kid, I especially loved Halloween parties and always looked forward to having parties…

Everyday is Halloween

All my friends know that I love Halloween!  Really, what’s not to like? Candy, dressing up, scary movies the week before Halloween, and  having fun walking around the neighborhood with friends (did I say candy???) – it’s all there! I tried to find Rachel’s first costume with no luck 🙁  It was an adorable little…

Somebody’s watching me

Every once in a while, something happens that REALLY surprises me.  Yes, that sounds a little dramatic, but last Sunday I found a little present on my front door….

Cold Hearted Snake

What A Man

“What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!”  exclaimed Salt-N-Pepper and EnVogue back in 1990-something.  I promised Bryan that I would not post anything silly or embarrassing about him on this blog.  I will try to keep that promise, LOL. My husband’s sign is Virgo, which in astrology speak translates into being…

Take Me Home Country Roads

 Well, I have decided to start a blog!  For my very first blog – EVER – I have decided to talk about our recent trip to the great state of Kentucky.  It was terrific but very short. It had been a long time since we had flown with a baby and were a little bit…
