May I present the newest addition to our family–my Great Nephew, born today (August 29) at 8 lbs 5 oz (? I should have written it down) and 21 inches, Austin Jefferey:
Welcome to the family, little guy!
Last Wednesday, (our anniversary, of course) was parent orientation for the preschool that Lidia will be starting in 2 weeks!! Our neighbor, Kristin, came to entertain the kiddos for us, as it was a sans kids kind of orientation. (Thank you again, Kristin! Lidia had a great time and the first thing she wanted [...]
Though I can hardly believe it has been so long, we have made it to 9 years of marriage. Some probably thought we were crazy (my Dad among them). Not only did we meet on the internet (*gasp* That was strange back then–I mean, it’s a miracle he wasn’t a serial killer or something), but [...]
I know, 3 posts today? But I had to jot this dream down.
Since I actually got some sleep last night, I remembered much of a dream I was having. It played out like a very odd movie…

The last weekend in July, we headed off to see the Michigan family. We had [...]
I took this picture last night…
As the princess grows older, her mind becomes an ever more complicated machine. The things she is learning and remembering–and the rate at which she is doing so!–never ceases to amaze me. I’ve recently been thinking of all big things she has learned just be watching and listening.

I have recently come to the conclusion that I am probably killing my kids–or at least contributing to the shortening of their life spans.
There is a mailing list to which I subscribe. It consists of mothers living in and around the city in which we reside. It has been a good source of information, [...]
No, I’m not speaking of college football. I’m talking about years of marriage.
This year, on August 22, Adam and I will have been married for 9 years. Wow. This also means that in 2008, we will have been married for 10 years. There’s something surreal about those double digits. We cannot possibly have been [...]
