Movin’ and Shakin’
Our house is a wreck. In preparation for the BIG MOVE we have pulled everything out of the three attic crawl spaces, into the respective adjoining rooms and started the process of save/give away/throw away. Between Casey’s old Kung Fu equipment (body pads, punching bags), my gazillion pairs of dance shoes, theater scripts…

Happy Birthday to the Original MommyBlog Kid!
Horribly belated, but no reflection on the sentiments… Happy Third Birthday, Kenny!! My sweet little guy turned THREE on Tuesday the 9th. How time flies! We had a big party for him on Sunday, with my parents and my sister’s family, as well as five other families that we are close to. …

Times, They Are A’Changin’
Ok, so besides leaving Cooper for half a day to go to a concert, besides insanely stretched travel, besides computer viruses that nearly wiped us out, there is a lot going on in our household. A lot going on that I cannot write about, and it is killing me. Hopefully I will be able…

Let’s Hear it For the Boys!
Last night Casey and I went to our first post-baby concert: Kenny Rogers and the Oakridge Boys!! It was so much fun. Ok, ok, so we were like, the youngest there by 40 (or 60) years, but the old country legends still know how to rock a full house! The only pictures…

Family Fun and then some…
We have had a maddening week and a half of computer viruses ravaging both our home computer and my laptop. And I return to MommyBlog, wondering if I have any readers left!! I think this was my longest stretch of no posts. Woe! Please forgive, those faithful ones who are still…
