Roman Kent and Maren ???? were born last night.  Maren came first at 10:07 and Roman followed at 10:17.  Both are very healthy, 8s and 9s on their APGARs.  Roman was 6lbs 2oz and Maren was 5lbs 7 oz.  They each have a good amount of hair, but Roman wins there.  He’s kind of got […]

Well, the delivery date has changed.  The doctor called this morning and asked if we can reschedule to TONIGHT!  I guess there are a bunch of inductions scheduled for tomorrow morning at the hospital and so the dr. wants us to come in early.  Whoa.  So most likely they will be born today, on Aunt […]

I HATE it when I’m behind someone in a parking lot or parking garage and they decide they’re going to back in to a parking space. I understand why backing in is better. It makes for a SAFER departure, so you’re not backing out into traffic winding through the […]

The mudroom

The covered gap

The mouse hole and glue board

Mouse caught!

Be thankful you are not me.
This morning, I woke up as usual, bright and early at 5:00 am and got dressed to go to the gym. I recently finished the mudroom in our house and when I reached in the cubby […]

OK, so a bunch of posts today…Julie went to the doctor again today and everything is tracking well. Both babies are head down, which means it should be smooth sailing. Unless there’s some monumental movement over the next few weeks (which, to be honest, I can’t imagine there’s ANY room for) the girl […]

Soren is a budding photographer.  He is always stealing our camera, wandering off, and taking pictures with it.  Thank goodness for digital cameras!!!  Otherwise he’d be in big trouble for wasting tons of film.  Every time we download pictures there are always at least 20 - 30 that we’ve never seen before.  Lots of them […]

My kid’s easier than yours! My kid is so easy, she makes the ABC’s look like university research. My kid is so good, it would take 2 of me to be more relaxed. That’s right, yo!
I’m talking about Eden. Man, I swear she is the best baby/toddler ever. We were […]
