Cougarriffic

How could two people say “lets dress up like cougars for Terry’s old fogy party” and then come in almost the exact same outfit?  Perhaps we were born for this.  Perhaps being a cougar, or at least looking like one is our calling.  I mean…who else does bangs like mine?  I especially like how we… Continue reading Cougarriffic

This is Isaac rocking out, playing air guitar and generally being rock star-ish.  It’s his favorite thing to do and I do believe these photos mark took show off his personality beautifully.

Grandpa, Stop Sleeping!

That is what Silas said today to get his Grandpa to wake up.  My parents always ask to sleep on Silas’ floor for the pure pleasure of waking up to his cheery face and wonderful snuggles every morning. My parents spent the weekend with us, it was a lovely time.  It wasn’t rushed at all,… Continue reading Grandpa, Stop Sleeping!

A New Plan Stan

I know this blog is a good way to keep in touch with people.  Especially family.  Family has been relying on it to get updates about my children for a long time.  I’ve been relying on it for the same purpose, plus as a journal.  It’s a great memory keeper. When I went off the… Continue reading A New Plan Stan

Day Dreaming

Do you ever daydream about things??  Make up an alternate situation for yourself in your head and just go with it? Mine mostly are about winning the lottery and what I’d do with the money.  The topic excites me to no end. We’d buy a modest house and modest cars, as close to being “green”… Continue reading Day Dreaming
