This Thanksgiving was so much fun, I honestly forgot to take time and reflect on all I was thankful for. Lame! But I guess I can say I’m really thankful for these good times! They help pull me through what I have called a “rough year”. Of course, every year has its own challenges, but…

11 Months Old
Baby: Well I was hoping by now we’d have the exciting news that he finally crawled and sat up on his own. Not quite. But he is so stinkin’ close! The pediatrician isn’t worried, wants to give him a little extra time. Sleeping so much better (as you may have heard. Yeah, I’m just a…
Holiday Card...
We shot our holiday card this weekend. It was super fun. And we got it done early for a change. Usually we shoot like 2 weeks before Christmas and then it’s a mad dash to get it out on time. Now, I can’t tell you what it is, but I think you will like it.…

Sleep Sucks.
My husband and I LOVE to sleep. We are not people who sleep all day or anything, but we both really know and appreciate the value of a good night’s sleep. Since our little BFF Stevie came around, we have kissed those days of a good night’s sleep bye-bye. I think most parents know how…
Happy Halloweeeeeen
Our Halloween was splendid. Over the weekend, we checked out our favorite haunted houses in the area. Always a lot of fun. We even made it into a couple news stories for a second. Here’s the Channel 9 News clip (at 00:30 seconds in): Burbank Man Works On His Scary Haunted House All Year Long…
