18 Months
07/09/2010 20:31
We just got home from a trip to Grandma's, and it dawned on me that today Sophie Grace reaches 18 months. WIth the first kid, you know their age down to weeks; the second, you count in months; and the third, you're lucky if you remember their name, let alone their age. Nonetheless, 18...
Happy Birthday America!*Updated
07/04/2010 15:00
In order to celebrate, we're going to fill our bellies with grilled delights, pack in some sweet goodies, and finish it off with a fireworks show, because we're Americans dammit, and we know a little somethin' about gettin' fat and lightin' fires. Maybe that's just the south; I don't...
Boys Don't Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses

So after an hour and a half at the eye doctor today, we walked out with orders for FOUR pairs of glasses. That's right. First, Trevor at age 7 and now Victoria at age 4. Her beautiful baby blues are about to be hidden behind some funky specs. Just because she has to wear...
The Bully, The Boss, and The Baby Vagina

These are the nicknames bestowed upon my children by their favorite (and only) Aunt Kathleen. Boy, Trevor's going to be upset when he finds out which one he is.
Sophie Grace- The Bully- I can't disagree. She's feisty and mean. Anyone who's heard Victoria stories probably would...
Father's Day
06/20/2010 21:01
This day is a bittersweet one for me. I lost my dad at the ripe old age of 5, but I married this guy who's an awesome dad to my kids, so everything turned out ok. It's weird to think that I was only a little older than Victoria when my father died. I spent so many years being...
So.Very.Tired.

It's the 2nd week of summer break, and I'm already tapped out. We literally sat around the house all day today and barely spoke to one another. I would feel guilty about this if I hadn't spent the past week at the beach with all 3 kids and my mom. Each day...
Married With Children
06/05/2010 20:59
Almost 20 years ago, I met a silly boy. I didn't think much about him- cute but goofy- that was it. It was the summer before I started high school, and we were both taking instrument lessons from the same lady. I didn't talk much with him over the next...
Finishing Strong

Come on! Can you believe this?! If I could have picked the characteristics in a son that the two of us could NEVER produce, they would have been: self-motivated, over-achieving, sensitive, accepting, and non-judgmental. Behold, my son, and his straight A's for the entire...
Super Star

After over 8 hours of valiant effort to keep my computer from freezing during the process, I was able to download 2 videos of Victoria's end of the year performance. I'm checking into children's plays as I type this.
Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Wesley's birthday, so in honor of this occassion, I'm going to do something completely out of character. I'm going to be nice. I'll take this opportunity to say that Wesley is the best husband and father you could ask for. He cooks, cleans, and takes...
