The day after Thanksgiving we drove to Austin and had lunch with a friend of mine I haven’t seen in 11 years, back from my days in the MN. Here we are at my 17th birthday party she threw for me, sometime after midnight given the date on the photo. The other photos from the party all [...]

(Started last Friday) OMG my beautiful, perfect, so-amazing-and-I-love-her-so-much child is driving me insane tonight. IN-SANE. My patience runs dangerously thin when I’m tired and tonight, I am tired. It’s been a long week. Too much work. To much extended family. Not enough doing fun things I wanted to get done. One of those days where [...]

My baby brother got married this weekend which I’m pretty sure means I am really old now. Avelyn was a drop dead gahw-geous flower girl in her little ruffled dress and tiny pearls. She had fun picking up the skirt ever so slightly and twirling herself. Sigh. Aren’t little girls just precious? Kevin flew to [...]

My dad’s been gone for 15 years now. It feels strange. I was so busy caring for Avelyn yesterday that I didn’t realize what day it was until the afternoon. It was easier this year than any year previous, I think because I have a family of my own, a reason to get up every [...]

Two sick people are currently sleeping in their respective beds upstairs. I am supposed to be packing up the apartment for our big “move into storage” extravaganza tomorrow. Alas, I sit here in my white t-shirt and pink wet-hair towel writing because you know what? I’m tired of packing and I boycott until tomorrow morning. [...]

Congratulations to my friend Autumn on the birth of her second baby boy! After laboring for days, literally, Logan finally made his appearance this afternoon. I can’t wait to meet him tomorrow! I still haven’t got much school work done this week. There is so much to do this last semester that I can’t imagine [...]

The holidays are over, praise God. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Christmas. It is my favorite time of year. Lights sparkle all over town, shopping malls and traffic lights are adorned with festive wreaths and ribbons and the anticipation of Christmas morning looms in my mind. It also brings family which in itself [...]

Avelyn’s first Thanksgiving started out a little rough. She’s teething two teeth that so far exhibit signs of being as stubborn as my teeth. God helps us all. Luckily for all involved she has recently discovered the joys of the teething ring. That and cold baby food fruit. She must be my child after all. [...]

Avelyn is SEVEN months old! (Well, she was on November 18th. Now she’s older.) Also, I’m back! Have you missed me? Silly me, what a question. Of course you missed me! My internet has been down for 8 whole days. I’ve had mixed feelings about it. On the downside I didn’t know what to do [...]
