Updates about our everyday life.
Days since schools closed: 30 Days since I left the house to work: 25 Number of Sundays without being able to attend church in person: 4 I thought that I would remiss if I didn't document this life in the time of coronavirus closings at least once on the blog. And I'm starting to lose… Continue reading Corona Log: Mundane is the new normal
Well, Halloween 2019 deserves documentation. I think it marked a transition in celebrating for us, as this was the first year that Catherine had opinions about her costume. And initially, I thought it would be the first year that we did some real trick or treating but that will have to wait for another year.… Continue reading Halloween 2019 – The one we’ll remember
I wrote this out on Facebook, then decided it deserved to be a blog post. Theodore turned 1 1/2 on Wednesday. It is hard to believe that we are now on the downhill slope of one year old. He is a happy little guy ...as long as you keep him well fed. At times it… Continue reading 18 MONTHS.
I have been slowly rearranging and decorating our house using the CoMi method by the Nester. You should get her book. Our current house is the biggest space I've ever had to decorate and arrange solo. When we moved in a year ago it felt overwhelming. Reading her book and using her method made it… Continue reading 7 Quick Takes v. 7
Each summer I find myself wanting to capture the moment, remembering my kids just as they are during the summer. It always seems like a time of transformation and maturing. For example, in this picture, Catherine looks like she's 10. When did she get so big that her legs reach the glove box? Catherine likes… Continue reading Summer kids
Currently, in real life (as they say) we are going through our stuff and preparing to move. The packing and culling and preparing for a fresh start are leaking over into my online presence too. So I've been going through my archives of post drafts and I think I'm going to give some of them… Continue reading Going through the archives
The Hillbilly Days Food Guide always makes me want to get back into blogging regularly. It is a really good creative outlet for me but I don't always have the time. I'm hoping to be able to make some more time for creative outlets soon so I might be back, we'll see. Anyway, in addition… Continue reading My Sunday Best v.1
And so it begins. I was first introduced to Hillbilly Days by my co-workers in the IT department at UPIKE. I don't remember the exact time, but knowing them they probably didn't make it through the first work day without mentioning the glory and awesomeness that is Hillbilly Days. They were obsessed. They had a… Continue reading Preparation Day
Right now we are in the middle of Andy's away rotations, a.k.a. traveling around the country for several months to check out residencies. Today, Catherine and I drove home from visiting Andy for the weekend at one of those potential residency locations. We all know I do my best thinking in the car, so bam.… Continue reading My Life Currently: A Soundtrack
Dropping in for some quick rambling thoughts and linking up with SQT. Does anyone write really awesome posts in their head at really inconvenient times? I do my best writing in my head while I'm driving. If I'm lucky I'll remember one or two things to actually write down afterwards. Of course, I always sound… Continue reading 7 Quick Takes v.6
