Great Wolf Lodge • 2009

By On 29 Jul ’09

Wow. It’s been awhile. I promise we’re all still here and doing well! We’ve been doing a lot around home (crown molding updates to follow), a lot of nothing (summer break is drawing to a close), and a trip!

My parents (thank you thank you thank you thank you!) bought us [...]

This year, I had help (THANK YOU, Grandma and Grandpa!). This year, I was not pregnant (hurray!). This year, we did not get a flat tire. This year was fun!

two cute boys

By On 13 Jul ’09

I don’t think I even need to say more. I love my husband more than words can describe and our youngest son is growing up so quickly. I just love that picture and wanted to share because time is flying by and I need to remember moments like this one.

I’ve had so many inquiries about it that I decided to start up a blogfolio (portfolio blog?) and list some info and not bore y’all [...]

Oh Happy Day

By On 4 Jul ’09

Happy Birthday, Blog. I started this blog back in 2003 on the 4th of July. Six years.

In celebration of Independence Day, here are some photos, straight off the memory card (no photoshopping!) thanks to my brother’s MacBook Pro. Enjoy. Hope yours was a good one.

Step 2.

Run the wiring.

This is currently on hold – we hit a brace – must decide whether to drill straight through (into a closet) or go through the ceiling or … or … I don’t know what the other options are, but we went ahead and hooked it up with the [...]

Get the speakers on the ceiling.

Ohhh. That install guy. Oh. Well, he’s a hunk if I do say so myself. He makes cute babies, too. *blush*
