Dear Uncle David & Aunt Tammy, How do I look in my Colts gear? Mommy thinks I’m too cute for words, and Daddy’s glad to finally have another man around to cheer for the Colts! I may be little, but I’m already a HUGE Peyton Manning fan. Can’t wait to watch the Colts with the… Read More How ‘Bout Them Colts?
Think tables overflowing with casserole dishes, steaming crock pots, platters of meat, baskets of bread, and desserts of all types and deliciousness. Think Christmas Banquet, Thanksgiving Dinner, Labor Day Picnic, Memorial Day Picnic–each an annual “potluck opportunity” at church. I can still remember the feeling of anticipation I had as a kid on the evening… Read More The Church Potluck: Rules of Engagement
Getting to know this little stranger who entered our lives, our hearts, and our home 16 days ago has been life-changing. While expecting, we longed to meet our little boy and to hold him and kiss him. Now that he’s here, we’re learning his faces, his noises, his preferences, his habits. What a cutie! Silas… Read More Growing Our Love for You
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
Here’s a picture I took the other day on my way to work. It was pretty cool to see rain and the rainbow. We’ve finally been able to enjoy opening our windows as temperatures have been in the 70’s and 80’s during the day and in the 60’s and 70’s at night. Welcome, autumn! How… Read More Fall Weather?
On 09-09-09 we arrived in Phoenix, Arizona to begin our “Great Western Adventure!” And what an adventure it has been. I remember how strange it felt to know we were in AZ as residents and not as visitors. I vividly remember how thankful I was to have a place to stay that night. Never in… Read More One Year Later

She met me outside and informed… Read More A Visit to Glenda’s Kitchen

I’m a bit late on this post, but I didn’t want to skip over Stephen’s birthday. He turned 29 on July 28th–his last year in the 20’s! I stopped by his office with a breakfast sandwich and a little birthday sign to let his co-workers know what a momentous day it was. 🙂 For dinner… Read More Celebrating Stephen
On Saturday we said a not-so-tearful goodbye to our old friend, the 2001 Chevy Impala. Just a little over a year ago I wasn’t at all sure that I wanted to part with our first car–our first car as a married couple, my first car ever, and Stephen’s first nice car. (Of course he had… Read More Losing an Old Friend
