This past week I went to the bank to pick up our passports from the safety deposit box for our upcoming trip to the UK.
This is where I am going to confess my irrational fear of banks. I hate going inside the bank because, wait for it, I’m afraid there will be a robbery. [...]
The three cacti I crocheted for Kat and Sean. If only I could crochet little sombreros for them they would be perfect.
Excuse me a sec, while I go look for a pattern…

This critter doesn’t have an owner yet but that’s only [...]
With Stephen gone the past two weeks, I had a lot of time to practice my new hobby.
The hat took way longer than it should have but I learned a ton in the process. Like you have to count the stitches. Not just guess. It’s the difference between a rug and something you can actually [...]
Easter morning. Eli’s surprise face. This is the toy he says he’s been wanting his whole life. I think he was excited about it.
Yes, Liza has pink in her hair. Yes, we did it on purpose. She wanted it there on Friday so I put it in. It still isn’t completely gone but it is [...]

We decided we should all get in as many lunches with him as possible before he turns 7 and realizes that having family around your friends actually [...]
In honor of Dr. Suess’s birthday this week, Eli’s school has activities planned every day. Today is crazy hair day. Stephen and I decided he looked a bit like an Anime character but since I don’t know anything about Anime really, I have no idea which one.
He started asking me this morning at 6:03 when [...]
It’s been a snowy mess here lately. I jokingly said at Christmas that it snowed all the time here, so I think the universe decided to prove me right.
While it’s been too cold to even stick my toe outside, I’ve been stitching and listening to podcasts. I blame Alex at The Gearheart for addicting [...]
As Stephen posted earlier today: Life! it is busy! We have a wounded hot water heater that we’re dealing with. I have a root canal scheduled for Tuesday. My blood pressure has been crazy high and I’m dealing with that. And in and around all these other things, we’re trying to get Eli’s birthday party [...]
