I just wanted to post a quick congratulations to one of my most-admired Mommies out there… Audrey of Pinks & Blues had her FOURTH boy today at noon! This gal, along with her mom and sister, run a fantastic website called Pinks & Blues Girls. And Audrey does it all with first … Read more
Today started off ordinary enough… Kenny ran into our room at 6, and we gave Casey his Father’s Day present. Then it was off to church. Kenny is a huge fan of Sunday School, so it’s one of his favorite outings of the week. Running close second to Sunday School, though, is … Read more
Last night Casey and I decided to do a family date night… after all, who knows how many more chances we’ll have to go out on the town with just the four of us?? (Dudley is one of the four, in case you are counting…) We sat outside at our favorite restaurant, then walked for … Read more

As I’m sure anyone reading this who has ever been pregnant before has experienced, I find that as I walk around in my third trimester, everyone has a question to ask, and a comment or prediction to offer. I am pleased (vainly) to report that 90% of people who ask my due date respond … Read more
The day starts with some coffee and chocolate milk on the deck… Then Daddy and Kenny take off for their weekly breakfast date while Mommy hits prenatal yoga… Close encounters of the reptile kind (click on this for a better view – a four foot black rat snake that we first saw right on the … Read more
