My baby is 4!

Date January 6, 2009

I still can’t believe my little E turned 4 today. It seems like is was much less than 4 years ago when E came into this world. This year, like the year she was born, is unseasonably warm. It was a nice 76 degrees and we loved it! Since we had her birthday party on [...]

What they say and what they don’t

A mother understands what a child does not say. ~ Anonymous Ahh, communication. If your children are anything like mine, they will talk your ear off all day…sometimes all night.

Welcome 2009!

Date January 1, 2009

After Christmas, while I was returning a few things to Barnes and Noble, I stumbled on their 50% off sale. Well, that’s not quite right, I didn’t stumble over anything I seem to have a 6th sense with finding sales. It also helped that all the 50% off stuff was right there lining the walk [...]
