I just realized that with all the hustle of this last minute trip south, I completely forgot to mention that I had the big 20 Week Ultrasound last Friday…. And we found out that we are having…. A Baby! That’s right, at the last minute, Casey and I agreed that we wanted to be […]
We are packing up the car and driving south for a few weeks. We just can’t take the cold anymore. Ok, that’s not the whole story, but we are going to re-locate to Florida for a couple of weeks; Casey is able to work from there for a while, so we are jumping at […]
The last few days, as Kenny’s gotten over the stomach bug that ailed him, I’ve put underwear on him instead of diapers for the afternoons. He has responded with pride and enthusiasm, and has been quite disappointed when today we left the house and I put the old Pullups back on. He hasn’t […]
… Dudley decided that it was high time for him to have a little attention, too. Now for those who have read this blog for awhile, you know that when Dudley wants attention, he does not waste time with mild symptoms, but rather required trips to the emergency room for stomach surgery, or the like.

Kenny has been going to Rolly Pollie (and My Gym while we lived in Arizona) since he was about 9 months old. It is fair to say that it’s the highlight of his week. I love watching him work so hard at the skills he learns there – from mastering the two-footed hop […]
No nap again for Kenny today. That is, no nap until I’d endured an hour of “quite time” (after the half hour he ran wild during the attempted enforced nap) which involved him standing at the top of the stairs the whole time, shouting down, “Mama? My quiet time all done yet?” […]
Kenny has started to turn into a little Man of Manners. Today, as I got ready for church, he looked at me and said, “You look pretty, Mama!” A few moments later I sneezed, and he said, “Bless you, Mama!” Then after I fixed his breakfast, he said, “Thanks, Mama! This is […]
For those who have been reading my blog for a long time, you may recall that Kenny did not nap from the time he was about 6 weeks old until he was 16 months old. That was a long year. I was often on the verge of exhausted insanity and insanely jealous of […]
Tonight as I kissed Kenny goodnight, I said, “Remember, if you need anything, you call me and I’ll run, run, run and see you!” It’s what I’ve said every night for as long as he’s been weaned. He always smiles and says, “Mama will look up, and run, run, run to see me!” […]
I am 17 weeks today, and boy do I look it. I actually spent the evening trying on a giant box full of maternity clothes that a friend loaned me and, forced to see my basketball in outfit after outfit started thinking, “Hm. I am really pregnant.” Though my belly is quite a […]
