For a few weeks now, Red has grunted and waved his hand in the direction of the phone, whenever we are on it. He wants to "talk" to Nonna, T, and Grandmartha, or whomever might be ON the phone with us (even work!!) It got so bad at Mom's house, he turned a melon baller into a phone. … [Read more...]

Mommy and Me Monday: Date night!
Hubs and I got to go on a little date last night - it's been a while since we did that! Easy, cheap and fun. Dinner at Steak N' Shake meant light on cost (those babysitters can add up!) and a yummy milkshake. Then we used the last of our gift money to see Batman. And it was great! (Don't worry, … [Read more...]

Flashback Friday: the babymoon
Hubs and I chose to do a baby moon, but it a little less conventionally: we took it BEFORE we started trying for Red. We wanted to enjoy roller-coaster rides at Walt Disney World, drink our fill of strawberry daiquiris in the tropics, and not have to worry about morning sickness, or … [Read more...]
Happy Fourth of July, 2012
Thank you to my ancestors; Sampson Powell, for donating all his horses and food stuffs to the Revolutionary Troops; to Captain John Webb for fighting for our freedom against the British, and thank you to all the other men in my distant family I have not yet discovered. … [Read more...]
