January 11th, 2012 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, dave, spencer

Its been more than 2 years since my last “Conversations with a Toddler” post. Once upon a time they were a pretty popular read, and I still LOVE going back and looking at all the silly things that Bridget used to say. Well, now Spencer is staying all kinds of funny stuff… and I simply […]

Its a Brand New Year…

January 3rd, 2012 · 2 Comments · a day in the life, Abby, bridget, dave, family, spencer

Well, its officially 2012! Crazy. Last Year, I posted to my blog 6 times. SIX. That’s it. Just 6. That’s like once every other month. I know, I should be punished or something. That being said… Among my goals for this year, I am committing to blogging weekly! Yes, you heard me! I can’t promise […]

These turned up in a box while unpacking one day… I’m not sure how it happened, but we all ended up taking turns putting them on. [It was completely amazing…  once we put them on, it was like we could see in 3D. It was like everything around us was right there within our reach. […]

Bridget’s iPad

January 27th, 2011 · 1 Comment · bridget, dave, random, Uncategorized

Dave got himself an iPad a couple of months ago. He loves it. And, even though she doesn’t get to use it very often, Bridget loves it too… She loves it so much, that she decided one day that she needed her own. Since I lovingly informed her that we would not be buying one for […]

Its been a few months since I’ve updated this blog… Now that life is starting to return to something that can be somewhat considered normal, and since there are a couple of you out there lovingly reminding me of my less than frequent posts… I figure its about time to get back to business. I […]

Building Our House

April 5th, 2010 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, dave, family, random

(Click here for larger image) As I’m sure many of you know, we moved into an apartment last June with the plan to sell our existing home, find a good piece of land, and build ourselves a house. It took a little longer to get started than we’d hoped, but we finally got our hole […]

November

January 24th, 2010 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, food, siblings, spencer, tina

The highlights from November include Bridget’s 4th birthday and Thanksgiving. For months, Dave had been teasing Bridget that we would be skipping her birthday and that she would have to stay 3 years old for another year. Her reactions varied from day to day.

October

January 18th, 2010 · 5 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, random, spencer, tina

Do you know what we did this summer?

November 7th, 2009 · 9 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, domestic attempts, family, high school, random, siblings, spencer, tina

Its no secret that I am further behind on my blogging than I have ever been before. The thought of catching up one post at a time was quite daunting, and just pretending like the last several months never happened (and not blogging about them at all) didn’t seem right either. So, I went through […]
