As you all know, we’re using cloth diapers for Michael Aaron. We are really liking them and they are working great! Michael Aaron is fast outgrowing the first size though and is ready for the next. Cloth diaper sizing is a little funny though. There are two sizes - one that works from 8-15 pounds [...]

The Big 3-0!
Today is Michael’s 30th birthday, so…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL!!!
We actually did our celebrating on Saturday with a gathering of friends for pizza and rockband. Scott and Amy came up for a surprise visit (I wasn’t surprised but Michael was!) and later that evening more friends/family arrived to really get the party started. Everyone brought pizza toppings [...]
We’ve had a kid for 11 Weeks!!!
Wow! Our first few months with Michael Aaron have really flown by. We were so busy in the beginning - between getting to know our son and all his personality and quirks and introducing him to all of our family and friends. Now that things are starting to slow down and normalize a [...]
Our Family Turns 2!
Yesterday was our two year wedding anniversary. The time has passed so quickly and yet we are so comfortable in our marriage that it feels like we have been together longer. This year, with Michael Aaron’s birth, our family feels even more complete and we have even more reason to celebrate.
Michael took the day off [...]
An “On Schedule” Day in the Life
I’m feeling like I may have succeeded at getting Michael Aaron’s days & nights reversed. For the last two nights he’s gone down from 1130 - midnight instead of 130-200 am! So, with that accomplished, I thought I’d give a real go at having a well organized day during which I manage to be a [...]
Old Shelves, New Shelves!
For $5 and some paint that I already had on hand, we now have some wall shelves in Michael Aaron’s nursery! I’m really pleased with the results!
Shuttle Launch - Discovery
Tonight was the scheduled launch for Space Shuttle Discovery. We have a great view from our front yard, so we invited Chris, Abigail and the kids over for dinner and cards and of course, to watch the shuttle. We got so busy with dinner and visiting that we very nearly missed the launch altogether! Thanks [...]
Garage Sale-ing
I had my first real experience with garage sale shopping yesterday morning. My friend Ann called and invited me to go with her to a HUGE community sale with something like 100 homes involved. I’ve never been a real garage sale person, but I wanted to spend some time with Ann and I figured that [...]
Creating Margin
As I mentioned in my previous post, Michael and I have joined a new small group. The first study we are doing together is an Andy Stanley study called “Take it to the Limit”. It focuses on creating margin in our lives. Most of us live pretty close to the edge with our schedules, our [...]
Monday Nights
Michael and I have joined a new small group (bible study) which meets on Mondays. Since Michael Aaron can be a bit distracting at times, he gets to spend that time with his Aunt Abigail, Uncle Chris and his cousins Corban and Baby Abigail. The first time they watched him, Abigail snapped a [...]
