What's going on with Jude

Don’t worry, that’s just him asleep on the floor right after we came home from a quilt shop run in Des Moines last week.  Just a tired kid… nothing to do with our recent dilemma at preschool.

I thought I’d write a little bit today about why we’ve decided to have an [...]

Because I'm a good sport

The "5 THINGS GAME" The rules are to write 5 things under each of the 5 headings, and then tag 5 other people.

10 years ago…

1. I was a senior in high school.

2. I had only been waiting for Chinese Democracy for 3+ years (not really).

3. I was just beginning a [...]

What are friends for?

Inspired by (making fun of) this posted on the blog awhile ago:

 

Thanks, Alisa. 

Now that's talent

I’m still healthy!  Can you believe it?  The boys are ok, too.  We held our breath (literally and figuratively) over a rather nasty diaper of Jett’s and thought it could be the start of a sick spell for him.  But, he’s ok too!

The kids and I went to Mom & Dad’s house Friday afternoon.  [...]

So far, so good

Josh is on the mend and neither of the boys nor I have come down with anything – so far.

Josh actually got up and dressed for work today and almost left, until I think he realized that he was not nearly recovered yet.  The scale told him that he lost 12 pounds – I’m [...]

DH

My darling husband had his head in the toilet for another reason last night.  The poor guy woke up starting at 2 am sick and was up countless times during the night – not knowing how he could have so much liquid in him.

Every time he got up, I prayed out loud for God [...]

Why cleaning (sometimes) pays off

I went to the bathroom.  Number 1, I swear!!  And when I flushed the water kept rising and rising.  Our toilet almost never clogs, so I was really dumbfounded.  I grilled Josh about it.  It wasn’t him.  So we looked at each other and thought, oh crap (no pun intended), what did the kids flush?

Not much

What’s new?  Not much here.

We had a good weekend.  Josh is home today because he pulls the ol’ Tuesday – Saturday schedule this week.  We’re enjoying the day… maybe a trip to Costco later?  Hmmm… and maybe Christmas shopping?  No promises.

Saturday I was able to work on two customer quilts for a good [...]

Because I can laugh at myself (and Josh)

Remember how I said I was going to post some of our hilarious engagement photos?  Well, here they are.  They are bad.  Weird, uncomfortable, unnatural poses.  Josh and I just look at these and laugh and laugh.  We were lucky to get one good picture out of the group.

ATL and a special requestATL and a special request

Dylan is such a funny guy – for years he could not go into Wal-Mart because the chance of seeing a Halloween mask was too terrifying (all year round).  But recently, a co-worker of Dad’s who has his own plane took Dylan and Dad up and Dylan had so much fun!  Wasn’t scared a [...]
