Things I Love

I went to the mall yesterday fully intending to come home with a new fall candle, but nothing in the Yankee Candle store beat my Spiced Pumpkin at home. Their new line seems a little too apple-spice-y for our liking. The aroma of spiced apple cider tends to cause dry heaves around here and we...

Amy - Thanks for the heads-up on the apple cinnamon thing. ;) Actually, I prefer the pumpkin, too. Unless it is REAL cider. Does that make you nauseated? Or is it just the candle?October 1, 2009 – 5:25 pm

Jennifer - Oh, real cider too, though the aroma from the drink isn’t as strong as those candles! We’re usually okay if we don’t drink it but others are… for some reason we’re both (me and Dave) sensitive to that particular smell.October 1, 2009 – 5:33 pm

Alex - I used to work at a card store that sold Yankee Candles, and nothing says fall to me like that one. I can smell it just looking at the picture. MMMMM. I might even have a votive around here somewhere, I should go try to dig it up…October 2, 2009 – 10:41 am

Voice Box

Lowell has really started talking lately and I wanted a way to remember his 2.5 year old voice. James snuggled up to me and asked “How did God make our voices?” so we looked up some basic info on that and I explained that God made a voice box for each of us and put...

"A very good day."

We made a quick drive up to Temple yesterday to join Grandma and Grandpa at a model train show. James has almost outgrown the train loving stage (if that’s possible) but Lowell was in Heaven. Korben missed his nap and I wasn’t holding him but I hear from Grandpa that he was making train sounds....
