10 Months Of Joy






Eli turned ten months old on Thursday, and the poor guy spent it with an ear infection and at home with a sick daddy keeping him. I simply cannot believe how fast he's growing.
He is getting better and faster at crawling which is such a challenge because we have an open floor plan that makes it nearly impossible to use baby gates.


He loves to play outside in his swimming pool or to ride on the lawn mower with Dad.


He has added a few new words to his vocabulary including "bath." It sounds strikingly similar to "ball," "bye-bye" and "bottle" but he is at least making the correct associations with each. The other night at 7:00 (which is bath time) he crawled down the hall saying " ba, ba, ba." I was trying to tell him that we weren't going anywhere, but when I finally caught up to him, he was trying to get in the tub...he knew what he was trying to say. Our second new word is "Emma," our friend's daughter and his older girlfriend.

He has also started pulling up on EVERYTHING and as a result has had some minor bumps and bruises.

Yes, these have been 10 months of joy...

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.  They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events.  They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books.  It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us.   They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty.  They speak...
