David and I made our way to Mary’s for a 5:30 reservation this year. We started out with a bottle of cabernet sauvignon and a goat cheese appetizer. This was followed by cracked red peppercorn soup, for me, and David chose the potato leak soup. We both had ceasar salads and then our entrees. David [...]
Well, we made it four years….YIPPI. It is funny because David and I have been together for around 12 years and we are only going on our 4th year married. We go to Mary’s every year, it’s tradition, and have a wonderful dinner and yes, some wine too. I scanned the last three years of [...]
David and I are really enjoying spending time with Ethan over the holiday break. He will be 9 months in January. Can you believe that? He is crawling and pulling up/walking holding on to something. He really LOVES his mom, as evident by his crying if I walk through the room and don’t pick him [...]
Here is a pic of Ethan, me, and David as babies. Can you tell us apart? They are small, sorry.

Christie, Mike and the kids came. Tosha, Tom and Mason dropped in. Chuck, Rachel, and Eli made an appearance. Christie [...]
Went to the new Walker’s Bluff this weekend with the whole fam. It was so much fun and great to see my niece and nephew, not to mention my sisters, for a while. Ethan stayed behind with Grandma Cricket and Grandpa Steve so Dave and I could enjoy the day baby free. Ethan is doing pretty [...]
Went to a new fest in Marion today. Ethan was such a good boy! He got to see his cousin, Eli, and play. We had a good time and he loved the music. He got to use his new stroller, play with the ducks, and get into a BIG truck. Great Day.
Eman is eating like a big boy in his highchair. The last couple of nights I’ve given him some solids before bed and he is really interested in eating. He even can hold the spoon. My friend, Andrea, bought him the cut bib. Hope I can get the tater stain out..ha
Have to blog about David for a minute. He woke up last night, around 1:30, to feed Ethan and put him back to sleep. This was the first time David has done this. We talked about him doing it on a Friday night over some drinks and AHEM….He came through. Of course I got up [...]
My new favorite thing is pj’s. Ethan looks so cute in his new pj’s from GG. Thanks Eman Loves them!
