James was in the shopping cart, grabbed this apple, and bit into it before I could turn around and get it out of his hands. He picked a BIG ‘UN. Of course, we had to buy it after the bite.
Dave fixed Chicken-n-dumplings last night. From scratch. I wish I’d taken a picture, but it would have looked exactly like theirs. This was delicious! DELICIOUS. This is a recipe we are definitely keeping in our repertoire.
Yeah, I’ve had it before. I’m pretty happy with it, though I added the bangs myself. Just didn’t have time to cut them at the appointment as she took an hour and a half as it was.
The color was $1.50 at HEB. Revlon Colorsilk Shade #44

So, I got a new haircut and new color too, so things are feeling pretty good these days. I’m really sick of being inside so much in such a little place with a 2.5 year old that doesn’t give me a moment’s peace (Do you have shoulders, mommy? Can you point to your elbow, mommy? [...]
So you may or may not have noticed some new header images up there at the top of the blog. Yep, I finally learned the easy way to make those suckers.
I subscribe to the photoshopusertv.com podcast via iTunes so I catch every episode these days to learn more tricks to stuff up [...]
This is one of my favorites of Lowell to date. The focus is fantastic on his eyes and the expression on his face captures his personality perfectly.
He got over his ear infection pretty quickly, only to have James come down with one a few days later. THEN, as luck would have it, [...]
James hasn’t seen it yet; he’s at Grandma’s house for the weekend. It’s designed to be a high or low bed. We’ll start off low then flip it to high once we trust the little monkey.
We were originally going to go with traditional bunk beds but this was much more in [...]
We are, for all intents and purposes, fully recovered from the ear infection Lowell had last week. He’s still on antibiotics until it’s gone. I think there are only about 2 more doses left in that little bottle. He started feeling better the third day on the antibiotics and started babbling again. He’s pretty [...]
I was really itchin’ to sew something this weekend and found the un-paper bag which I knew immediately would only take about an hour and a half to make (with random breaks to surf Ravelry and wash a batch of dishes). So here we have my first unfinished un-paper bag. It’s unfinished [...]
…is that you have four months to buy a house and you’re competing with people that only have two days to buy a house.
None of the walk-thrus today were impressive at all, which is sad considering that they’re all at the tippy top of our price range. We’ll keep the area in which [...]
Oprah’s show today prompted me to post a blog about some of the little “green” things we’re doing.
Just this past week, I whipped out the sewing machine and started looking for simple, free, bag patterns. I found three that I like very much, all creating different types of bags. I’m itching to start and [...]
