Sometimes life happens in nice, neat blog-post packages. It’s easy to have something to write about or have a topic around which to theme a post. Then there are other times. Times when life just happens. Times I’d like to remember, but times that are harder to record since they are the stuff everyday life… Read More Little Bits of Life
Now that we have three Moodys living here, we decided it was time to buy a new couch so Silas could have enough room to stretch out and relax. Finally, he can kick back! Come on, you have to admit that Silas looks a bit cramped on our old couch. (Yes, Silas is in this… Read More Stretching Out
Who knew that furniture stores had Halloween sales? I found that out this year. We’ve been wanting a table for our kitchen that seats more than 2 people at a time. In fact, we wanted one that seats 8. The weekend before Silas was born, we ordered our kitchen table. Silas was delivered before the… Read More Table Delivery

Not being a “theme person,” I decided to go with a color palette rather than choosing themed decor. I decided on blue, brown and white. (The… Read More A Nest for Baby
The very next day after our weary travels from Indy to Phoenix, we started birthing classes. Probably not the best time emotionally to start such a venture, but it’s worked out.

Not only does it require organizing, but deciding where you’ll keep things and hoping that you won’t have to reorganize after you’re done.… Read More Settled
I’ll admit it. I’ve never had a Bomb Pop until this 4th of July. Apparently Bomb Pops are a childhood staple bought from the friendly neighborhood ice cream truck. How could I have missed out on something so important? Oh well, at least I have now officially experienced a Bomb Pop. This tower of Blue… Read More Never Have I Ever
The Wait You may be thinking, “What in the world took Stephen and Elisabeth so very long to close on their house?” I’ve wondered that myself! We looked at the house in late March, bid on it the end of March, but then didn’t close until June 4th. First of all, I’m learning that the… Read More Waiting…then Whirlwind on Winslow Avenue
Since everything seems to be happening at once in our lives–baby, new house, trip home, new job for me–I’ve been much too busy to blog, so maybe I’d better catch you up. We found out on April 26th that our contract on the house had been finalized–just 4 days before the first-time-home-buyer-tax-credit expired! Had we… Read More New House Coming Soon!
Yes, we’re now riding the exciting house hunting roller coaster! It’s hard to believe, but so wonderful to dream of having our own home!
