T-ball
Last night was Brock’s first t-ball practice. Initially, he was super nervous because he claimed that he didn’t know how to play. However, I strongly suspect he was the Ringer because he.did.awesome. Chickety-check it out! Dirty before we even got to the field ↓ He looks like he’s about the get into a fight with [...]

Almost two weeks ago, we celebrated. We celebrated the fact that, despite all of the hurdles and temporary set-backs, my husband graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Elementary Education. We celebrated and how much he has grown as a student in the past two years. When he first began talking about going back [...]

This weekend, Brock was bouncing off the walls as usual. Normally, it drives me bat-shit crazy and Greg just goes with the flow. It must have been significantly worse than normal because Greg put his hands on Brock’s shoulders and said, “Buddy? Will you please calm down?!” Brock’s response: “Daddy? I’m not sure that I [...]

Last night, Brock and I were driving to pick Adrianna up from dance class. The radio wasn’t on and we weren’t talking. Just enjoying each other’s quiet company and reflecting on our days. All of a sudden, Brock says, “BALLS!” When I look in the back seat, he is holding up a bag of tennis [...]

I never remember inventing games when I was younger. There were always the old standbys: Tag, Red Rover, etc. but I never came up with anything on my own. If I got bored (which, thanks to my parents and their never-ending to-do lists rarely happened) I would curl up with a good book and get [...]

Yesterday and today I stayed home with Adrianna because she has been running a fever, throwing up and generally not feeling well. In fact, we took her to the ER last night because her temp reached 103 and she was shaking. Of course, my mind always goes to the worst possible situation so, of course, I assumed [...]

Brock has been a thumb sucker since day 1. A binkie just wouldn’t cut it because he would roll it around in his mouth for a few seconds, spit it out, scream his fool head off and then eventually find his thumb and would self-soothe. For awhile, it was no big deal but now that [...]

Last night, Brock wanted to spend the night with his grandparents and Adrianna decided that she would rather stay home with us. She still has some Christmas money so we thought we would take her shopping and have dinner and just have a little one-on-one time with our little princess. Of course she had other [...]

Words I just heard coming from the toy room: “Give me one! I want to play with one of your transformers, too!” I will give you 3 guesses who said that. Here’s a clue: it wasn’t me or either of the kids.

*Preemptive disclaimer: Since I got my new iPhone (squeeeee!), I have been using it to take pictures rather than my super nice DSLR. Please forgive me for the shitty quality of the upcoming pictures. I will get over my iObsession. iEventually. iMaybe.* Even though we have had the Christmas tree up for a few weeks [...]
