St. Patrick's Day

This is how we celebrated - pancakes and eggs. :) I tried to make them festive. TJ was very nice about saying how wonderful they are.


Please don't let the eggs gross you out - I wanted to put them in a lucky shape. :)

LUCKY US!

Austin's Game

Sadly, we only made it to one of Austin's indoor games, but I'm glad we went.


At one point when they were down and things were looking grim, they put Austin and his friend Ethan in - I smiled at TJ and said "They're putting in the big guns." They did great together.


Here's the whole gang - a good looking group, no?

Olive Garden

After a movie at the District, the Petersons and the chidwinks let us join them for dinner at the Olive Garden.

I love these kids - all of those grins are downright genuine. I'm so glad we went - life is so much happier with family around.

Baby John

Have to post this picture of baby John - look at those cheeks.

I miss you, Em - thinking of you, especially with Easter.

Merry Christmas

My parents got us an incredible freezer for Christmas - perfect present. After way too long (sorry, Mom), TJ borrowed his dad's truck for us to take it home.


I asked Parker to pick it up for us - he really was trying.

Blasted Weight

Because of a medication that I have to take each day, I've gained 30 pounds in the past two years. That's a lot of weight. I haven't changed my diet and I exercise way more now than before, but it just keeps going up. It's very frustrating, especially because, in many ways, I feel like it's out of my control.

Help Wanted

Wanted: happy people that can help us put our yard in

When: soon

How Long: longer than we care to admit - likely an entire Saturday, at least

Why: because we'd really like a yard, but we confess we can't do it on our own
