I know, the title of my blog today just proves that I can grasp for objectivity in everything, right? As most of you know, Ashley, and Lydia and I lead a LifeGroup at church of 5 fifteen year old girls that we meet with on Sunday nights. Tonight, we were only able to have one […]

disclaimer: this blog has to do with hair. If that sounds boring to you, just don’t read it. That way you don’t have to complain to me about my girly post. You know who you are. =) So I’ve really been wanting to do something different with my hair lately. I’m just bored with it, […]

By popular demand, I managed to aquire a baby picture of Chris to add to the comparison (he is 18 months old in the picture, but close enough). The majority of people say “she looks just like Chris!!”, but I believe that these photos will prove otherwise. Ali has one feature of his – that […]

Ironies of the day: 1. As it was pouring tonight, we went to great lengths to keep Ali from getting wet when we went out to eat tonight (at Baha Burgers. . .yummm), and then we get set down inside and I give her her sippy cup, and the lid wasn’t screwed on so it […]

I had that R.E.M. song stuck in my head all day yesterday. . .and boy was it fitting!This post is for my Dad – he took great pleasure in making me write down everything that went wrong when I was a teenager and I would say “I had the worst day in the world!!” and […]

ugh. So Ali definitely has an every other week pattern thing going. This week is bad nap week. Last week was AWESOME nap week. Two weeks ago was bad nap week. Hopefully next week will be good nap week. Every other week I think it’s time to drop her morning nap. Then the next week, […]

Yup, that’s my girl. She thinks that it’s much more important to talk than to walk, and the Dr. Amy Albert IS ok with it! She said that she is talking more than most 18 month olds, and obviously has no motor skills issues, so she is not worried about her not walking yet in […]

Ali is 15 Months old!!! Ali (above) and I (below) at 15 Months . . . . and STILL refusing to walk. She was so early at everything else, especially crawling. She started cruising very early. I remember my dad saying “look at her go! She’ll be walking by Thanksgiving!” Ha. She totally could. Totally. […]

Averi rocking Ali, then trying to inhabit her space. Notice Sam in the corner. I have been working in the nursery at the church for about 6 years now, and so I would say that I am pretty well-versed in the nursery goings-on. I have also been a supervisor in the infants room every other […]

Ali and her paci at 9 months Me and my paci at 2 1/2!!!! Ok – so I am not a Lord of the Rings fan. I went to watch the first one at the theatre at midnight the night it came out with Chris and a bunch of friends (including Ann Marie, who can […]
