This is how dogs drink momma
Some days are normal. Some days are just plain crazy. Yesterday was crazy. Eli and Lucy spend a lot of time lately playing "doggy" and all of the activities that go along with pretend doggy. Like napping, eating, drinking, hiding. I found the "doggies" in the...
Getaway
Here are some photos from my fabulous weekend away to a women's retreat last weekend. My favorite part was that the speaker was a 41 year old woman who has a 2 year old and twin 15 month olds--all naturally conceived after being infertile for 8 years. She was a...
Funny day….
We have wonderful friends...adults and kids alike. One of our "friend" families is the Stoughtons...home to Ashley (stb 6), Abby (3) and baby Charlie (almost 2 months) or "baby Chai" as Lucy calls him. We were thrilled to convince them to move in 4 houses down...
Holidays….
Just wanted to say that I haven't forgotten to make some posts from the holidays....just haven't downloaded any photos yet, and a holiday blog without photos just isn't really worth it. So, it'll come soon.

Best Friend in the World!

Kids say funny things…
We had another busy weekend. Ian's grandmother who will turn 94 in February had a stroke on Friday and was in the hospital recovering so we decided to make a visit. As we were checking in at the front, Eli says, "Did great-grandma have a baby?" What a funny mental...
Chocolate and dogs
Today was a busy day. I was awakened to the sound of packing tape being pulled out of the tape holder and crumpled. But that is not the story. This is what I saw when I walked into the kitchen: Yes, this is Eli's advent calender in the trash can. You can see...
Friends…
Just reminded tonight how blessed I am to have good friends to share the many ups and downs and all of the crazy comical moments in between with! Thank you to each and every one of you for the impact you have made in my life as a woman, a mother, a wife and a...
