Still Here

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I am still here even though by the looks of things, you would think otherwise. It is quite a challenge to keep up with two kids, clean house, do loads of laundry and keep my blog up-to-date. If you are more interested in the day to day, you can follow me on twitter. We are [...]

Discovery Place

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Last year on Andrew’s birthday I started a tradition of making a pancake breakfast for him. It seemed a little more special this year because he actually enjoyed them a little more.

We wanted to [...]

Andrew’s First Tricycle

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago while shopping in Babies R Us Andrew fell in love with a Radio Flyer Tricycle. The reason I know that he loved it is because I had to call David into the store to pry his little hands from the handle bars. He had one of the worst tantrums I [...]
