The other night we got to spend the evening with our good friends. We don’t usually get to hang out with all of them together, so we decided to make a late night of it – and were welcomed to do so – and had a fantastic time. The kids played great together, and that…

On Sean Taylor
The Bills play the Redskins this weekend, and the importance of the game has been seriously diminished by the killing of safety Sean Taylor. Taylor is one of the Redskins best players, leaders, and loved by all of his coaches and teammates. A lot of people think that will motivate the Skins this weekend, but…
33
Well, yes, today is my birthday, but it has already begun to be celebrated. My sister made me a cake while we were down there with them at my Mom & Dad’s… they sang and everything. I got presents from the extended family. Many have been wishing me a happy birthday, including calls/IMs from Dad…
Post-Thanksgiving Thoughts
We had a marvelous time with family in Ohio over the past several days. Besides my parents and my sister and her family of six, we also got to spend some time with my grandparents, two aunts, one uncle, three cousins (and one first cousin once removed). That was all topped with the news this…

10th Anniversary Vacation Photos
Yes folks, we had a blast. And now we are back home taking care of our four kids, and last weekend, we kept our friends’ three girls for three days to boot! So, I haven’t gotten to sit down and share some of the highlights of our trip with you. We haven’t even gotten to…
What Color Am I?
I don’t know why these quick little quizzes are so fascinating to me, but they are… My pick was interestingly accurate. It said to choose the “most appealing” one… that could mean a lot of things, so I chose the one I noticed first. Here’s what it said about me. You love a free and…
How About This, Eh?
I saw this article come across my RSS feed today, and really couldn’t believe it. Gas is well over $3.00 (US) and now the Canadian dollar is nearly equal to ours?? What is this world coming to? 🙂 Pretty crazy. Click the link to read the article.
