Saturday morning started off completely crazily of course – it was the morning of our oldest daughter’s ninth birthday party. We were running around like lunatics, trying to take care of our own 4 kids and getting last minute details for the party worked out – we didn’t even know how many kids were going […]

It seems my new pet has gone missing. Thank goodness I didn’t end up with something bigger, like a rat or a tortoise or something I wouldn’t really want crawling around the house unattended. But I didn’t see this coming. If anything, I thought my new ladybug friend would kick the bucket. I wouldn’t have

This weekend was really weird. It started off Friday morning when I was asked to work on my day off (now I am working like 12 days in a row). Later, I went to the game night that I previously described (in my newly repaired automobile..l brake problems) where I learned that some friends were

Remember that CNN.com article I wrote about the unusual names? The article spotlighted a little girl named Indiana Elizabeth Jones and her brother, Dow. Well, this post is not going to be about them. Rather, it’s an excuse to post a cute photo of my 4-year-old daughter wearing an Indiana Jones-like costume. For the real buffs out there,
