The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Wednesday, November 2, 2011. Hawaii is Heaven on Earth. I cannot say it too much or too often - Hawaii is amazing. It is beautiful, full of fun things to do, and so relaxing you just can't believe it unless you experience it yourself. Now I understand why our good friends the Arredondos. Just being able to spend a week alone with Chris was awesome. This was our first vacation together since we started having kids - with the exception of a couple of one- nighters. The water is j...

The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Thursday, August 18, 2011. Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you. And now the day was complete.". She looked so weak and tired as she lay there in the hospital bed, but she was as beautiful as ever, and seeing her, embracing her, was wonderful to me. As the days went on, and she transitioned from hospital to home, I had the privilege of helping to care for her during the beginning of what will probably be a long recovery. This is perhaps my favorite ...

The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Monday, March 1, 2010. Last Thursday, I had the wonderful opportunity to fly to Florida to visit my good friend Katie - we had been eagerly waiting for months for the time to arrive when we would be going together to see "Wicked." Oh my goodness, I know I can't find words cool enough to describe how wonderful it was, but I'll do my best. We posed for some photos together after - do we look like we're freezing? Friday, Katie and I went to Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM...

The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Thursday, April 1, 2010. If you're interested, there's a new post on my other blog - it's over there in my blog roll on the side bar, entitled "runnin' my mouth." i'd love to hear your input and opinions. Monday, March 29, 2010. What We've Been Up To. Lindsey also adores the swings, but I have long known that. Joseph picked up the plastic eggs, opened them, dumped the contents into his bag, and discarded the then useless egg back on the grass. Strategery. Nathaniel, age 3.

The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Monday, April 12, 2010. The Cutest Little Broken Foot Ever. If you haven't heard our news, yes, Joseph has a broken foot. There are two possible scenarios, and I - the mother of the year - am ashamed to say I don't know exactly when the break occured. Again, I don't know why this photo is sideways - I flipped it in the edit, but oh well. The break is so tiny you can't really see it in the pictures, but it's on the outside foot bone, near the top of the tarsal. A cast on a baby ...

The Stuff Life Is Made Of: I'm. The. Worst.

The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Im The. Worst. I honestly doubt anyone checks my blog anymore, which is my fault for being a terrible blogger. But I'm supposed to post photos and I am gonna try to be better about that. Recently we celebrated Joseph's 7th birthday, which is unbelievable to me. We visited Zion National Park, one of our favorite places on earth. Lindsey had a really awesome dance recital. She was amazing! Christmas was so much fun. And Chris's birthday. Busy month.

The Stuff Life Is Made Of: Summer ....

The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Started five minutes ago, and it's already almost over. Seriously makes me in a bad mood. Well, it's probably gone by at warp speed because we were so, so busy. With a trip to California, three scout camps, and various other activities, it was nonstop fun all summer long. Here's a shot of the boy kicking back before things got a little crazy. We took the kids kayaking not long ago, and that was great fun. Shooting sports at Philmont. This kid grew like...

The Stuff Life Is Made Of. Thursday, August 25, 2011. A Date With A Handsome Lad. Joseph has been asking me daily to go to the park - I have, like a bad mom, been saying no because it has been way too hot. Yesterday morning Chris gently reminded me how lucky I am to be able to stay home all day with Joseph and to do whatever we want to do. Even though I already knew that was true, I realized I should be taking advantage of it more fully. Bradley is the only Cub in our family, but Nathaniel and Lindsey de...
