    Hey Emma Kate, You’ve made it nine months so far and boy has the time really flown.  You are a such a joy!  We are so blessed to have you.  You have no idea how much you have enriched our lives.  And not just me and daddy, but all of your family. My heart is… Read more

  • Forgetaboutit!

    There’s this movie that probably came out in the 90’s or something called Donnie Brasco.  I watched it once, a long time ago, and it was a decent movie. Decent, if  you like filth, and violence, and mafia crime.  Sex, and cussing, murder and mayhem.  Which, hey,  Iain’tgonnalie,   I do. Sometimes I even like… Read more

  • “Having children is like living in a frat house – nobody sleeps, everything’s broken, and there’s a lot of throwing up.” ― Ray Romano Last night marked Day 5 with my comfy “bed on the floor” gig. And boy oh boy, I’m feeling like I can move mountains! I’m almost afraid to tell you for… Read more

  • I have a great mattress.  It’s one of those Sleep Numbers, where you can adjust the firmness.  A few years ago, J-Dub and I pranced into the mall with a credit card and succumbed to a sales pitch. Impulse Buying + Credit Cards = The American Way, right? I can’t remember my sleep number;  I… Read more

    Hey sweet Emma! You’re a little doll, dear.  As beautiful as ever, and growing so big. For a while now you’ve been belly crawling, but this month you decided to try out the old hand and knee crawl.  It’s still a bit clumsy, and you really only do it when you don’t have a shirt… Read more

  • Of one thing I’m certain:  each day that I’m given is more proof of how little I know. We’ve all been there, a time in our life when we thought we knew it all.  When we stuck our chest out and announced, if only to ourselves, “I got this.” For me that was 7 months… Read more

  • The toughest job

    When I was a teacher, just a few short months ago, I used to believe teaching was the hardest profession there was.  In fact, I’ve been known to tell people that very thing. Now that I’m a stay-at-home-mom, I have changed my opinion and believe mommy hood is the hardest job there is. More than… Read more

  • 7 months old

    Hey baby girl, Another month has come and gone.  It’s simply unbelievable. You are still as cute as always.  And pssst, just between you and me, some people are saying you are starting to look like me.  It thrills my soul every time I hear it.  You sure are good lookin’, but your insides are… Read more

  • 6 months

    Precious, darling Emma Kate, Look at you grow, girl!  Mama doesn’t even know where to begin telling you about your very busy month. I have so much to say, so I guess instead of starting at the beginning, I’ll just start at the top. Your hair. It has lightened up some, still brown,  and is… Read more

  • Outside

    Our baby girl loves it outside. No matter the mercury reading, she hasn’t learned to complain about the heat yet.   We haven’t cut her hair to look like a mohawk on it’s way to growing out, it’s just the way her hair, well is growing out.  Possibly one of the reasons she’s mistaken for… Read more
