(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

A mini-vacation is on our horizon.   I am thinking to the above place…

Somebody Has To

Last night I made my first baby-related purchase.  Even though I am in my second trimester I still can’t bring myself to buy baby clothes or nursery items or pretty much anything baby.  Many times I will have an item in my hand and put it back because I just can’t follow through – the [...]

Whole Grain

I have had Rice Chex with fresh strawberries for dinner the past three nights.  Delicious.  Cereal is the one thing I can keep down so I think it is safe to say that I am doing my part to keep Kellogg’s, General Mills, and Post in business during this bum economy.

Balon in China

Our college friend, Shawn, is spending 6 months in China for his work as a landscape architect.  He has decided to join the 21st century and chronicle his experience via a blog.  It makes me want to go to China.

Raised Garden Bed

After waking up at 5am this morning to drive Clay to the airport so he can go to the Arizona desert for a couple of weeks, I admit that perhaps I wasn’t in the clearest state of mind.  It was when I was driving back home that I decided this morning would be the perfect [...]

Baseball and Bunnies

Yesterday evening we went to a Durham Bulls game where we watched the team destroy the Norfolk Wave.  Nothing says Spring like a minor league baseball game, hotdogs, beer (them), and cotton candy (me).  

I want to know that the guy is shoving into his mouth to the right of me.  Peanuts? Popcorn? The last [...]

Strawberries and Music

Strawberry shortcake was the perfect treat to celebrate Meredith and Harry’s arrival last night.  A quick 10 minute preparation, the dish consists of cubed pound cake, sliced fresh strawberries, and homemade whipped cream.  Three simple ingredients that equal pure deliciousness.  

Everybody is still asleep as a type this post.  I love the early morning – [...]

With Sandwich

I currently look like I am with sandwich, not with baby.  I am okay with that.  I am sure months from now I will look at this picture and wished my body looked like this.  I really hope I take after my mom!

Sorry about all of the pregnancy-related posts.  This weekend we actually have ‘real [...]

Better Weather

I apologize that my most recent posts have been focused on the impending arrival of a new being that currently weighs ¾ of an ounce but our lives have been quite boring otherwise.  As our few but loyal readers, you have noticed the sparse postings over the past couple of months and for that I [...]

Yes, We’re Having a Baby

It’s true.
One day last fall, we looked at each other and said, “we’re ready.”  The past couple of months have been a whirlwind since found out we were expecting back in February.  Certainly not a surprise but still a shock – we marvel at the fact we actually created a human being.  At the 8 [...]
