Update from yesterday: the washer got fixed today for well within what we’d set our repair limit to be. Gah. Part of me was sincerely hoping that it was dead, so I could get something snazzy. Truly, though, I am glad that we’re not having to spend the money on a new [...]

Time: 8am this morning
Place: Hall Bathroom
Bennett says, “Mom! I just told Luke to be really careful not to get water all over the counter today because I JUST cleaned it yesterday before Jack Henry’s party. I used this towel to wipe off the water.”
Me: “Well, thanks!” (Inside, I’m thinking, seriously? Are [...]

His birthday is actually tomorrow, the 26th…
Every morning for the last year or more, Jack Henry has joined Matt and me in our bed somewhere in the vicinity of 6am (for a while it was the 5 o’clock hour, which lead me to try this). He snuggles for a while, and then sits and [...]

Yesterday, I turned 22 32. Time flies when you’re having fun, right?
We had a great 4th of July evening with the Swinigans…click over to her blog for some cute pictures! Jack Henry very reluctantly got his picture taken with our family, but when the Swinigans sat down to get their picture taken, he [...]

Last weekend, Matt and I got to be a part of a really cool surprise.
Our friend Sonya (I’ve known her since birth, remember?) invited us to come to their beautiful home in Indy to surprise Kirk for his 40th birthday. He knew that there was a party, but Sonya had several surprises for him [...]

Today, my husband turns 34…that’s so, like, mid-thirties. Weird.
When he didn’t have a suggestion for his birthday/Father’s Day gift several weeks ago, I came up with my own idea and decided to upgrade the television in our bedroom. We’ve always joked about how small it is (13″, I think), and it’s not like [...]

On Monday night (the day before Bennett’s birthday), Matt came home from work with a HUGE surprise for Bennett…and one that had not been a part of our plans for his birthday gifts until that very afternoon.
Matt works for a large bank here in STL, and they have a corporate suite at Busch Stadium. Its [...]

Where does the time go? Here’s a quick walk through Bennett’s first four years of life…
Bennett, when I blogged about your third birthday, I said that I hoped we were leaving the “terrible twos” behind us. And while I guess we technically did, this year was no cake walk. However, the last few [...]

About a month ago, I sent out this totally lame birthday invitation via email to our family:
Hi everyone!
For Bennett’s birthday, I think we’re just going to invite all of you over to our house on Sunday, April 5th in the afternoon for snacks and cake. Maybe things will get really exciting and Michon will [...]

Today is my dad’s birthday! Usually, we are in Effingham by this time to help him celebrate…and by help him celebrate, I mean giving him his birthday presents and then doing our sibling gift exchange. It was an excuse to open a gift early every year! This year, we’re doing things a [...]
