I bought this guy that fastens to the outside door lights for $3.99. I only bought one, not sure how it would work. Well, it was simple and fun, and I might need two more. She’s here for a sleepover, beautiful child with her dearly beloved tablet. When we first painted this room this shade […]

Heidi felt terrible on Monday, which was unfortunate. We still had a good time hanging out with these two girls. On Tuesday, the roof crew we’ve been waiting for since June appeared and replaced the roof. We had hail damage in June, and our insurance company sent a check to replace the roof. Tuesday, apparently
Gosh it feels like this was a long time ago. This has been quite a week. They’re calling to that bird flying away. There was lots of cuddling with this little baby who is growing like crazy. Love, Mom

That’s a fairly common state to be in around here. They took baths and dressed in matching clothes to celebrate. And then when we
Here’s a pregnancy photo. That little baby will be here soon. Here are her cracking up kids on Instagram this past weekend while she tried to get little baby gowns and undershirts ready, cooked freezer survival meals. Sweet Jesus, what is the meaning of this??? Neither of them ever sucked a pacifier to make our

It was a gorgeous, perfect July day. Except her baby was a little sick, though not too much. But she was CRAN-ky. There were some intensely un-hinged moments, both day and night. Alicia persevered, though by the end, she was exhausted along with the child. Dan lopped a chunk of his index finger off in
These cardinals were so happy about the lawn sprinkler. Jay put together the hammock and frame Kirsten gave him for Christmas. It was quite popular. He and James and Tim moved the playhouse across the yard onto the cement pad once occupied by that old grill. They rolled it on pipes across he yard, smooth
