Meet the Flinstones

November 1, 2010

We’re the *modern stone age family.  This year we hosted a Halloween costume party.  And it turned out to be way better than I ever expected.  The food was a hit, the drinks were flowing and the babies were well behaved and handled trick or treating like champs!  For the treats I served a seven [...]

Fall fun.

October 26, 2010

This past weekend we loaded up the diaper bag with snacks and cash and headed to a local church to partake in their Fall Festival.  It was a 5 minute drive from the house, so if it sucked, we weren’t committed to hours in the car.  But suck, it did not.  It was a fantastic [...]

Just stroll.

October 2, 2010

I walked up to our landlords house yesterday to drop off the rental check.  JPW had the car and it was a gorgeous afternoon.  I plopped Ryann in the stroller, handed her a sippy cup of water and off we went with the tunes from my iPhone serenading us along the way.  I pointed out [...]

More than a 1st Birthday.

September 16, 2010

This post is two fold.  You see, Ryann’s Birthday turned into so much more than a 1st birthday party.  It’s also a story of friendship and the bond that you have with old (and new) friends.  The magical bond that babies have in bringing people together,  reconnecting friends and creating new relationships. I canceled Ryann’s [...]

Shared nights.

August 31, 2010

Two weeks ago JPW came up with a fantastic idea.  I’ll give you a moment to soak in that last sentence.  Ok, moment over.  He suggested, well, requested we take turns having nights to ourselves throughout the work week. Nights that we can do and go wherever we want. Shopping, working out, bike riding, anything [...]

Roadtrip

August 10, 2010

We bit the bullet and took a roadtrip this past weekend.  It was long, and by long I mean 12 hours one way.  With a baby. And two big dogs.  In our Honda Accord.  Yes, long is probably an understatement. When consulting with Mr. Thesaurus it appears that torture is the first word to come [...]

Drama, or lack there of.

July 31, 2010

Our neighbors are always inviting each other over and swimming in each others pools, sipping on mixed drinks and cold beer while the kids play together.  It sounds like a fun, relaxing time.  But that’s all we know of it,  the sounds heard from across the street, or next door.  Remember, that Women’s Club I [...]

Geocaching…

July 25, 2010

…or also known as modern day treasure hunting. You know, where you have a fancy GPS and find other people’s tiny trinkets, treasures.  JPW had been dying to take us out to find some geocache’s and pretend we’re explorers like Lewis and Clark. JPW has a fancy GPS, that he’s been reviewing for an adventuring/outdoorsy [...]

Happy “Butt”ers Day

May 9, 2010

It takes a special little someone (and special husband to come up with the idea) to make a card like this: Original butt-work by REW. My first Mother’s Day was perfect.  Although Ryann made me work extra hard for it (she was up at least six times last night, I lost count after 2:30).  JPW [...]

Busy, busy bees.

April 27, 2010

We had  beautiful weather, ambitious plans, a determined mindset and a fabulous weekend of household activities.  My to-do list grew and grew but I got it all done. I hung curtains and got rid of a heinous cornice that the landlords left at this house.  I’m trying to make it a home. That’s my Tibetan [...]
