We celebrated Christmas with YaYa, Papa, Chris and Shelly on Friday night. We had a wonderful dinner and then moved into the den to open presents. Zeke got a head start on opening and opened one of YaYa’s presents and one of Shelly’s presents. Obviously he was not interested in what was […]

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! We have had a great past couple of days and we are not even done celebrating Christmas yet. We started on Sunday celebrating Coach’s birthday and then on Monday we had a very nice Christmas Eve. We made cookies for Santa and I baked […]

Today was Max’s school ‘holiday’ party. I had so much fun helping and meeting all his friends! I think Max was really happy I was there too. I took my camera, but unfortunately forgot that the battery was in the charger. Oh well. After the party we went to lunch […]

When Zeke requests chocolate milk, he stands there and watches you make it. We squeeze the chocolate into the bottom of the cup, pour the milk on top, screw on the lid and would normally shake it up. However, lately, Zeke has been requesting ‘Don’t shake it, don’t stir it’. So, that […]

We slept in our own beds last night! Our power came on yesterday morning around 10:00 AM. I cleaned out the fridge after picking up Max from school…yuck. Max sat on the couch and watched a little TV while I worked. Finally I heard him say, ‘I’m ready to go home’. […]

Our power went out about 3:45 AM Monday morning. So, we spent half of the night cold with all sorts of battery back ups beeping. Monday morning I called my mom first thing to see if they had power and thankfully they did! We packed up and headed to their house. […]

We woke up to ice this morning and it is so cold outside. ‘Ice Storm 2007′…I’m pretty sure we had ‘Ice Storm 2007′ last January. We stayed home from church and Max and I are still in our pajamas. I got out the Little People nativity for something new to play with. […]

Friday was pajama day at school. For $1.00 to go towards cancer research, the kids could wear their favorite Pjs to school. Max was so excited. On Thursday he was not motivated to get dressed and get out the door, but on Friday he had on his ‘Cars’ pajamas, teeth brushed, shoes […]
