Summer 2013 Trip to NC

August 27, 2014 – 11:26 pm

That trip to North Carolina I mentioned in my last post? Pictures! p.s. Only one year of this until I’m caught up. p.p.s. Andy was at GenCon with friends, which is why he is absent from all these photos. Also, thanks Mom and Dad, for making that 8-hour drive with me. Not sure I’m ready […]

Your Sixth Birthday

April 20, 2014 – 9:54 pm

Dear Sophie, This year your birthday started with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa in Baltimore. And, on the way to the airport, Owen threw up all over himself and the van. As I was trying to get him cleaned up with the few wipes and plastic bags I had, changing him into one of […]

Mother/Daughter Day

January 18, 2014 – 10:36 pm

Sophie spent the night with her cousin Colleen at Nini and Pop Pop’s house over Christmas. So tonight, it was James and Owen’s turn to spend the night at Nini and Pop Pop’s. My parents asked the boys if they wanted to spend the night together or separate and they said together (everything is together […]

My Dad’s Retirement

October 17, 2013 – 10:44 pm

Work, for my dad, started early—in life and in the day. He grew up on a hog farm in Lewisburg, Ohio. He helped with the hard work of the farm, and my grandparents paid him and his siblings for the work that they did. He went to college, taught, got a master’s degree and taught […]

Your Third Birthdays

July 22, 2013 – 11:11 pm

Dear James and Owen, For your third birthday, we hung up the birthday banner (of course). Sophie insisted on helping me set the table (she was so excited, for both of you). Owen—you wanted a Thomas the train theme. James—you wanted a Jake the Pirate theme. So, we did both. The night before your birthday […]

That Look

March 27, 2013 – 10:53 am

Andy comes home today! Sophie has quite the welcome-home plans for him … My parents came over and treated us to dinner last night. And earlier in my week of solo parenting Owen and James spent the night at my parents’ house, giving me time to tackle my piles while Sophie was at preschool. My […]

Peanut Butter Cookies & a Parade

December 1, 2012 – 11:12 pm

Great Grandma came to visit—with huge peanut butter cookies. Aunt Janeil was more than willing—and got everyone else—to participate in a parade. The kids wanted to try on their costumes before my parents left. This is the only picture I have of all three of them in their costumes—the boys refused to wear them on […]
