January 10th, 2009 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, spencer, tina

Our Christmas was a little bit hectic this year, but it was great! We found the time to do some fun Christmastime activities together, indulge in some Christmas goodies, and spend time together. We saw Santa, made gingerbread houses, and decorated. And even though gift purchasing was still in full swing on Christmas Eve, we […]

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! We were able to bring our little boy home from the NICU on Tuesday evening. He is still on oxygen though, and will be at least through the end of the week. And that is the best Christmas present we could ask for… a baby […]

Baby Update

My last post was all about numbers. Probably boring… Well, the first number, 29 may no longer mean anything. Ha. So much for trying to schedule a birthday. I had a doctors appointment yesterday, and it seems that this little boy may try to grace this earth even earlier than expected. It seems that I […]

Numbers

December 8th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, family, random

There have been a lot of numbers that have crossed my path recently. A lot of numbers to remember. A lot of numbers with funny, interesting, or significant stories behind them. Just a lot of numbers, I guess. It probably doesn’t help that we’ve been watching LOST again recently (trying to get refreshed before the […]

A bed with a “climber”

December 2nd, 2008 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family

Recognizing that we need to be setting up a crib again soon, and would there by be needing a crib sized mattress… we decided to upgrade Bridget to a twin sized bed and reclaim the mattress from the toddler bed for the crib. I’d seen a low loft (or junior loft) bed at Ikea and […]

The Zoo

November 15th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

Back in August (yes, I’m a little behind), we had the opportunity to visit Hogle Zoo as a family. My sister, Karla, joined us in the fun. Bridget and I had gone last summer, but this was the first time all of us had been together. We had a great time visiting all the animals. […]

And the winner of the costume contest is…. http://www.sugarloot.com/entry/200195025 She devil and the Grim. Nope, not me. Oh well. Looks like they took the one with 9.5 and the highest number of votes. Dave was thinking that since they make their money by the number of people that visit their site and click through the […]
