For those of you who are not on Facebook, I wanted to to announce that Elizabeth (Ellie) Patricia Stroiney was born yesterday at 10:35 am. She weighed in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long – much bigger than I expected! Ellie is healthy and of course adorable and has a full [...]

Sydney turned 18 months yesterday (a good way to celebrate Earth Day I think)! I just can’t believe I have a one and a half-year old child. I just had her. Seriously. It was weeks ago, wasn’t it? My how she has changed in the time since we brought her home. She started life as [...]

So yeah. It’s been a while since I posted to this blog. Life seems to get in the way of my better laid plans! We’ve had one heck of a few months — I was sick for an entire week (I’ve never been sicker in my life), John was hospitalized twice since January (once for [...]

Well, hello there. Long time no write. Sorry about that. Life’s been kinda in the way of blogging. But it hasn’t gotten in the way of important life events like first haircuts! I finally got around to getting Sydney’s hair cut when her Uncle David came down to visit last month. Anyone who has seen [...]

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 [...]

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. Luckily we had some down time over the weekend to relax a bit. We did some celebrating of Valentine’s day, first at [...]

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 [...]

No, I haven’t stopped making bentos for James. Are you kidding me, that boy loves him some bentos! I’ve just had to make more boring ones lately due to my extreme exhaustion at the end of the day (thanks a lot, Baby #3!). But I thought I’d share a few quick ones that I’ve managed to [...]

We *finally* got some snow in Virginia this week. I think we halted all snow production last year by obtaining a snow blower from Jim’s family! Jim and I both rushed home after work to take Sydney out to experience the snow. Of course I first had to dress her for the weather – something [...]

Sydney turns 15 months old today. She has been changing so fast lately – learning new things, experimenting with different words and getting into just about *everything*! Here are a few of her favorite activities lately: Brushing Mommy’s hair Playing with the dogs’ food and their water bowl Climbing on her rocking chair and trying to [...]
