Happy Holidays Everyone! We started 2013 off with a real bang. Picking up from last year’s letter, Steph tried winning a Darwin award on Christmas day. She had been sick with the flu, and sent William and I off to Christmas without her. She decided she was feeling better partway through the day and tried to continue a wallpaper peeling… Read more →

Upside Down and Backwards
I’ve been wanting to blog for at least a week now, but haven’t quite been able to find the right mood. The last month around here has been rather hectic. After a couple years of working 4 10-hour days, Jason got notice his schedule would be going back to 5 8-hour days. His assigned shift was 6:30-3:00 which was nice for… Read more →
The Cat is Out of the Bag
So last month I wrote in my blog that I pretty much lost the entire month of September. This in fact was a small white lie. In fact in September I was working on a very little BIG project. This project involved lots of naps, early bedtimes, and some very queasy mornings…nights… afternoons. Can you guess what it was? At 13 weeks,… Read more →
I lost a month
I lost the month of September. I really try to post each month, and somehow last month just escaped me. Last month Jason and I celebrated William’s 18-month milestone by getting a babysitter (Grandma) and attending a concert (Ben Folds). It was fantastic! In September Will transitioned from fast walking to all-out running and started to express and interest in climbing. This… Read more →
Dog days of Summer
I don’t know exactly when the astrological “dog days of summer” are supposed to occur this year, but I’m hoping they are just about over. We had a record setting month of July with 10 days of 100 degrees or better (and quite a few high 90’s that didn’t quite make it). At the half-way point of August we’ve only… Read more →
Hot hot hot….
That slow starting spring we had sure got HOT quick! We’ve had our fair share of 100 degree days and it is only the beginning of July. Our yard has a few brown patches but we are watering it the best we can. Thank goodness for automatic sprinklers. This past weekend we had enough humidity to get some evening showers,… Read more →
The fun continues…
I attempted to start this post 3 weeks ago. It was Mother’s Day weekend. It was generally a good weekend. Jason went hiking on Saturday and a friend watched the little man so I could get a haircut. I bought myself some Mother’s Day flowers, and had a wonderfully productive weekend, but I was coming down with another cold. Unbeknownst to me… Read more →
Ups and Downs
We finished out our time in WI and had a great time celebrating Will’s first birthday with family and friends. Also family pictures went well, and turned out quite well also. Love my little man! We’ve had quite the high time since returning from WI. William travelled quite well aside from fainting on the plane ride back (it was a… Read more →
William’s First Year
Happy First Birthday Wilbaer
Dear William, Happy First Birthday. We are so glad you’re here. The first months of your life were so trying, especially for this mama, but now you’re at such a fun age. There have been so many things to love this past year as we’ve watched you grow. It is amazing to see how you could change from such an… Read more →
