We have been saving up for longer than we could handle. Lizzie has saved all summer and waited over a month since her birthday for the new models to come out. Finally our Macbook nite has arrived! We’ll be writing about these for some time to come. So far, I have to say that I’m [...]

Welcome our new Betta fish, Bubbles to the family. Lizzie has been asking for a fish for a while, so we told her if she would research how to take care of it, and write up a report that spells out her plan, we’d let her buy a new pet fishy. Here is a picture [...]

Have You Heard?

We’re the “Talk of Alabama”!!! One lazy summer day last month I woke up and took Lizzie off to piano lessons. After that we had to drop something off at Annie’s house. Driving down the interstate, my phone rings… “Hello” “What are you doing,” Terri say. No “hello”. “Stopping by a friends house,” I reply. [...]

Off To Fifth Grade

Leaving the house. I remember a commercial a couple of years ago. It was for Office Depot, I think. A dad was dancing up and down the aisles collecting school supplies to “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”. I’ve always disliked that commercial. Most moms I know look forward to the first day [...]

We have been pondering the move to an HDTV for some time now, and finally bought a 42″ LCD. We now can’t stop watching TV, as long as it is in HD. We spent an hour watching water polo! Yes, water polo. The Olympics have been very exciting to watch on our new TV. Here [...]

Today is our anniversary. It’s been 16 lovely and fun years of a roller coaster ride we like to call marriage. We’ve had our ups and downs, we’ve been through some crazy turns and our lives have been turned upside down at a time or two. But most of all it’s been fun!!! And like many [...]

July- The busiest month besides December
July 9th, 2008 · Comments Off
Every family has one. No, it’s not the relative who opens their mouth and says something embarrassing at family gatherings from partaking too much of the drink (although, that’s usually me) or the relative who thinks they’re hilarious and aren’t (me, also). It’s the month that the checkbook takes a hit and it’s not December. For us, it’s [...]
