I keep hearing reports of places around the country getting snow – some of which usually don’t get a lot. In fact, this doesn’t even apply to just the US, as my friend in Dublin recently received several inches of the wet white stuff. I also, fairly regularly, hear about snow falling in the high […]

Another month older!
A little late getting this post out, but with everything that went on over the past few days it’ll make sense why. Thursday, Thanksgiving, Logan turned 8-months old! I truly believe that once you have a kid, time speeds up! Here are his updated stats from what we measured: Weight: 22-pounds, 3.2-ounces (fully-clothed) Height: 28.0-inches […]
Well hello there winter!
Our Indian Summer officially ended yesterday. Goodbye 70s and warm sun. Today, the high in Denver was 53° around midday. By the time I got off work at 4:00, the temp had dropped nearly 20° and it was SNOWING! We finally got our first snow of the season! Although you can’t tell anymore by looking […]
If you give a mouse a cookie
It gets dumped into a nearby open space. That’s right folks, this morning we captured mouse #2, this one had the will to live (and a penchant for cookies and peanut butter) and chose to become captured in the live trap as opposed to the kill and contain. We do have Lava to thank for […]
Mousecapades
Our “adventures” with a mouse living in our kitchen finally came to an end early yesterday morning (we hope). Around dark:thirty (I think it was around 4am) I heard a noise, which in itself if surprising considering I sleep like the dead, and probably only heard the noise as I was not fully asleep due […]
Halloween 2010
Happy Halloween (a day late)! This year for Halloween we all dressed up as lawn gnomes (apparently the Jones side of the family has a penchant for gnomes). Logan, of course, is the cutest gnome ever! We still have not had our first snow yet this year, so we were able to do a nice […]
Growin’ Big!
Look who’s 7-months old today! Logan doesn’t go to the doctor for a well-baby check-up until March, but here are his updated stats from what we measured: Weight: 21-pounds, 9.6-ounces (fully-clothed) Height: 27.75-inches Head: 18-inches And, of course to compare to previous months, head on over to Logan’s stats page. I’ve uploaded lots of […]
Mouse Trap
“I like Mouse Trap. You roll your dice, you move your mice and nobody get’s hurt.” – Bob the Tomato (Veggie Tales) Good advice, Bob, except we don’t actually want the mouse to keep inhabiting in our kitchen. Up until last night, we’ve been using old school mouse traps – we used what we had […]
Something’s in the kitchen with Dinah…
Things I like to find in my kitchen: No dirty dishes Food simmering on the stove or in the crock-pot A fresh bouquet of flowers on the table Unfortunately, none of those were what I saw this morning as I readied for work. Instead, I heard a noise near the pantry and saw a shadow […]
Half Birthday Celebrations!
Six months ago today Noah and I calmly walked into a hospital. Six months ago today I saw my baby on an ultrasound for the last time. Six months ago today I went into an OR and met my baby for the first time. Six months! Today we are celebrating Logan’s half birthday! To honor […]
