Resolutions?
December 31, 2010 by — 1 Comment
Today is no different than any other day. It's the day before tomorrow, which just so happens to be the start of a new calendar year. Over the years, the New Year "holiday" has meant less and less to me, as I 've made and seen others make resolutions that prove meaningless. But this year I have a little bit more ambition. I am really glad that 2010 is over. We thought 2009 was bad, … [Read more...]

About the new house...... See? You're just shocked, aren't you? My favorite thing about the new house is in the kitchen, of course! It's a ..it's a....huge....table.....island...bar. Well, anyway, whatever we end up calling it, it's enormous and wonderful and I have visions of feeding many many people around it. We're planning to get some counter height chairs to go around its curved … [Read more...]

Unbelievable. Thirteen years. Thirteen years ago today, my world changed forever - the day I became a mother, the day my first son was born. I'll never forget the day I found out I was pregnant with him. Dax and I had been married almost a year to the day. We were college students, working and going to school and just loving our new life together. But I was restless. Not … [Read more...]

Expecting my seventh baby any time now (really end of June/first of July), I can honestly say I have experienced quite an array of birthing "procedures". From my first son's birth, which labor started on its own, but was "augmented" using Pitocin, to the next one being completely induced, to the third one, whose labor we tried to induce by "breaking my water", to our- FINALLY - no … [Read more...]

We planted a vegetable garden in our backyard this spring. The boys are having a blast watching it grow. The yellow squash are in the lead! All of the boys seem so fascinated by watching the plants produce fruit. Little Dax is examining a baby squash here. They routinely come in the house to tell me about another yellow squash they've found! We really will have so … [Read more...]
Testosterone at its Finest

Recently, the boys asked for boxing gloves. A firm believer in allowing boys to grow into men, I relented, although somewhat reluctantly.....and THIS is the result. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I watch this video that my husband put together. Click on the link below to view the madness that I call my life. Oh, and don't mess with me. I am surrounded by men. Lots of … [Read more...]
