We have the pleasure of knowing an excellent photographer. Her boys are friends of ours. She doesn't live here, so when she comes to visit, I solicit her for some pictures, even though it is her holiday with her family and she obliges. She is a kind-hearted person.I didn't have a single picture of my... Continue Reading →
A few months ago, someone recommended I take a picture every day. That's a good idea, I thought to myself, but I never really did it. I'm not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I like to take pictures and I have beautiful boys to be the subjects of said pictures. Then... Continue Reading →
I rarely get sick. Seriously - I"ll get a sore throat here and there, maybe some sniffles or a migraine, but I'm rarely out of commission. In fact, the only sick day I ever took off of work was for Tucker when he was puking all over the place.But starting Wednesday night, I felt a... Continue Reading →
Something I've learned in these past two and a half years about parenting: it's not for the faint of heart. Your children will try your patience and willpower and sanity unlike any other person can.

I will paraphrase yesterday's blog post with this:Can you believe Steve still sends me flowers after Valentine's Day?We just celebrated eight years of wedded bliss (most of the time). Take that, seven-year itch!
Last Saturday, after crossing the finish line and posing for endless obligatory pictures, I just wanted to go back to Puyallup. I hadn't seen my baby in two days, hadn't slept much in three days, and had tunnel vision - hoping to get to tomorrow today. This is actually a problem for me all the... Continue Reading →
Nothing makes you stop believing in the good in people quite like flying with an infant. I have never experienced such blatant disregard in my life. It starts before I even board - while waiting, the other people around sneak looks at us, then look away as to not make eye contact. They are thinking... Continue Reading →
Holden has now met all of his closest relatives. There are certainly a lot of girls in our families. I don't think it will ever even out at this point. Saryn, who is almost seven, said she would teach Holden to crawl while I was at the race. When I got back, she said he hadn't caught... Continue Reading →
Here's where I was this weekend. My family and I completed the Hood to Coast relay. If you haven't heard of this, it is a 199 mile relay race with 12 people on a team. We run from Mt. Hood to the Pacific Ocean. One of us is always running until it is over, which... Continue Reading →
