Some days I feel practically normal and I get a lot done, but other days I just feel S L O W. Unfortunately, I’ve felt kind of slow lately. Fortunately though, my parents and brothers came to visit this weekend. They played with my kid, did my dishes, and even watched Cooper so Noel and [...]
I’m generally very excited for October to be over since I don’t really get into Halloween that much and November is one of my favorite months, but this October treated us really well. A brief recap:
My sister and her husband, Joe, came to visit us.
We loved having them, although [...]
We made this last weekend a long one and took a short trip to Las Vegas to visit some of Noel’s family. We had a great time visiting with family and being recipients of their superb hospitality. Everyone of course loved having Cooper around and didn’t want him to leave. It was good for Cooper [...]
We found a killer deal on flights to Utah and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit family. I’m not very good at photo documentation (maybe you’ve noticed), but here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure. Among the undocumented adventures: a riveting high school cross-country meet, guest appearance in a high school English [...]
Last week we were lucky to have a visit from my parents and my brothers. Unfortunately for them, it wasn’t much of a vacation because we had a long list of projects for them to help us with. Still, we managed to squeeze in some fun celebrating my Dad’s birthday (Happy 50th!) and showing them [...]

Back in January we pretty much planned all our family vacations for the month of June – a vacation to Alaska to see Noel’s parents and a camping trip to Southern Utah to rendezvous with my family. The hard thing about planning trips in January (other than not being able to foresee that you will [...]
It’s hard to say whether yesterday’s low was when Cooper cried inconsolably from 12am-2am or when we forgot about the bike on the roof rack and tried to drive into the garage. By the time we swept up the shattered glass and plastic in the driveway and found our chicken dinner half cooked in a [...]
This past weekend, we were lucky enough to have Noel’s sister Danielle visit from North Carolina. The last time we saw her it was June, so it’s been awhile. It was a nice weekend of sightseeing and too much greasy food. Historically, Danielle isn’t such a fan of babies (Shhh, don’t tell the Coop!), but [...]
