Snacktime

I took Sydney to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner last night. She “helped” me with the bags as usual and as I was putting things in the car I noticed she had pulled out a bag of roma tomatoes and was trying to eat them through the plastic. I [...]

Long Weekend

We enjoyed a long weekend celebrating Valentine’s Day and President’s Day. Sydney has finally recovered from her double ear infections, although it was a long week last week with Jim out of town.

Of Bumps and Bites

Sydney had her 15 month check-up last night. She is growing like a weed! Her stats: 50th % for head size 70th % for weight (23.7 lbs) 80th % for height (30 inches) She shot up from the 70th% for height at her last check up – which explains why her pants are all getting [...]

We have managed to survive our first week of no restaurants.  In some ways, it has been very difficult, but in other ways, very easy.  We started on Super Bowl Sunday and the following work week was fairly easy.  We usually do pretty well at eating at home on weeknights, with the occasional pizza ordered [...]

Les has not been feeling great with her pregnancy and I thought I would give her a little time to rest and relax a bit. So I took Jamie and Lauren for the weekend (or for a “two-night sleepover” as Jamie called it). We had a lot of fun, but I think she will have [...]

Bye bye restaurants!

I caught an interesting episode of Oprah last month.  She had Suzie Orman on and they were discussing America’s financial situation and what we could all be doing better in this tight economy.  Suzie challenged America to do 3 things: Don’t spend money for an entire day. Don’t use any credit cards for an entire week. Don’t [...]
