Congrats to our friends, the Ramseys, on the arrival of Luke!
As you can tell, he’s one rockin’ dude already.  Just like his dad.
So you’re probably wondering why the blog hasn’t been updated in what seems like forever. One word: Ravelry. All my computer time has been spent on either surfing Ravelry or photoshopping pictures for my bro. And my non-computer time is filled with parenting and after the boys are in bed, knitting. Yep, I am [...]
So the carrots didn’t go over very well so I won’t be cooking them again for him for another few weeks or a month or so. I think these were undercooked and didn’t strain well so it was pretty runny. Like carrot water. I love making his food even though he doesn’t always [...]
Lowell is almost 28 inches long but only weighs 15 pounds, 14 ounces. At this same age, James was half an inch longer and 3 pounds, 5 ounces heavier. Yes, Lowell is still my little shrimp. I like to think he’d be chubbier, heavier, if he didn’t spend so much of his energy crying, wailing, [...]
Well, not that I couldn’t see before, but now I can really SEE out of my left eye. My optometrist said I have dramatic anisometropia (which is a big word meaning that each eye needs a different amount of correction) which I could have told you as well. My left eye is near-sighted [...]
Lowell has started babbling. a little. He’s also growing more hair. as am I. Yes. I have fuzzies above my temples! I am also still losing hair at an alarming rate, too, though. You’d think that after, like, 3 months of handfuls and handfuls of hair falling out every day that I’d be bald already. [...]
Well, or Samba in the Partly Cloudy.
Last night I asked David if he’d locked the front door (like I do every night in bed before we drift off to sleep) and he grunted an affirmative reply. I didn’t think anything of it until Lowell woke me up at 6:30 this morning and [...]
30 Years Old!
Since his birthday fell on a Friday, we decided to cook dinner (free food!) for a bunch of friends and had four additional families plus my dad over for fajitas and some Guitar Hero. The kids (all nine of them!) all had fun playing with James’ small stash of toys [...]
We were at the Austin Children’s Museum and he fell asleep, yes, sucking his thumb. I needed to have fed him but ended up skipping that feeding altogether. He doesn’t find his thumb normally. I guess he needs to be bundled up like he is in the mei tai.
Congratulations Crystal and Brad! We can’t wait to meet her.
Braelyn was delivered at 1:26 pm on Wednesday, July 25th and weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces. What a precious tiny bundle!
Yep, I decided to go for it in attempt to help Lowell’s, um, poop be less, um, snot-like. Okay, now that the reason is out there, let me continue. It’s hard to not eat any dairy. Man. Dairy is in EVERYTHING but I’m reading ingredients faithfully and sticking to it so far. This is my [...]
WELCOME
