Since we have a big backyard, we decided we need to make it more inviting for fun and comfortable. We upgraded our seating arrangements from a wooden park bench to a multiple piece table and chair set. We also found a great LP fire pit on Craigslist! That fire pit is a highlight of our […]

“I don’t want to be three, I want to 16!”
Yes, that is a direct quote from none other than Logan. Oh how my little boy tries to grow-up too fast! This little boy also happens to love tractors. Any tractor will do really: John Deer, CAT, Volvo… That coupled with daddy working in construction made picking a birthday party theme easy: Construction! I had […]
Pictures!
I’ve created a Shutterfly picture Share Site and will be uploading pictures to it on a regular basis. If you would like to be a member of the site (and have the ability to order prints) let me know. If I like you, I’ll give permission. 🙂
Slice & Dice
Last April I wrote a post about my syndromes. One of which is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. In the past year I have seen my primary doctor and a physical therapist regarding CTS. In the past month I have added a neurologist and orthopedic surgeon to that list. The neurologist ran a(n expensive) test called a […]
Cardinals
From Bronco to Mariner to Cougar to Pirate to Gaucho to Cardinal. A list of mascots for all the schools I’ve attended since kindergarten, with the addition of Ball State University. Now, why would I care about a mascot for David Letterman’s Alma Mater in Indiana? I’ve never even been to Indiana! Oh that’s right, […]

It’s always a bit disconcerting when you come home and see a street in your quiet neighborhood blocked off with fire trucks, police cars and crime scene tape. That’s what Noah saw as he rounded a turn headed to our house yesterday afternoon. I happened to be on the phone with him at the time […]
More on the Kitchen Remodel
A few months ago we finally selected the tile for the back splash. Until last week, it sat in our garage taking up valuable parking space. But Noah finally had some time to install and grout the tiles – and I love it! It is such a dramatic change to the kitchen but in a […]
Vegas Vacation
It sounds a bit cliche to say we spent “New Year’s in Vegas”, but we did, sort of. Technically we were in Henderson, right outside of Vegas proper, and only went into Vegas to look at guns and airplanes. Oh boy, it sounds bad when put together like that. In reality, my lovely cousin Bonny […]

First Snow of the Season!
In the metro area, the first snow typically falls around the middle of October. Since I moved here in 2006, that has been the case (+/- a day or two) with the exception of 2008, where our first snow did not fall until November 14th and 2010 where the first snow fell on November 9th. […]
