April 2011: 12 of 12

I almost forgot about the 12 of 12 for April!  It was after 4 pm on the 12th before I remembered to start taking pictures – yikes! 1. 66 degrees outside and sunny at 4:05 pm (when I finally remembered to take pictures) 2. Lent is getting close to being done!  This was the second [...]

7 Quick Takes: April 1, 2011 (Vol. 76)

~ 1 ~ We went to Once Upon a Child this week to get a “new” pair of jeans for Noah.  He tried on a few, and used some very interesting adjectives to describe some pairs.  Amongst those were that one pair was “wide” and another pair was “fluffy.”  I realized that wide just meant [...]

10 Reasons I Love My New iPhone 4

I have resisted getting an iPhone for years now. I’d play it off, “Oh, I don’t mind.  I’m with Verizon and don’t really want to switch.”  Then, of course, Verizon got the iPhone.  Once that argument was gone, I’d say, “Well, I already have an iPod Touch and an iPad, so an iPhone just seems [...]

March 2011: 12 of 12

Saturday, March 12, 2011 1. The temperature was 51 degrees in our porch (which is where our receptor is outside).  It’s on the road to getting warmer.  Finally.  The time on the clock is 1:22 pm. I had just gotten out of bed.  (Thank you, Eric.) 2. While I was sleeping the day away, Eric [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 20, 2011 (Vol. 71)

~ 1 ~ Jack and I got over the flu!  WooHoo! Oh, but then it seems that Eric picked up something at work, brought it home, and the two of us whose immune systems were already working overtime just couldn’t take it any longer.  So, that’s right — Jack and I were sick, got better, [...]

February 2011: 12 of 12

I was excited that this month, the 12th was a Saturday and also fell on a day when we were going to a birthday party and there was a Father-Daughter dance!  Bonus! 1. If there is a schedule up on the dry erase board to remind us when someone is taking meds, that’s never a [...]

January 2011: 12 of 12

I meant to post this on the 13th, but life has gotten in the way.  Things have continued to get even crazier in our family with medical things.  I am now certain that if our family was portrayed on a television show, this would be the point where people would stop watching because it was [...]

The Dress Code in Purgatory

I was chatting with my other friend Amanda (not to be confused with the friend I usually refer to as “my friend Amanda”) while we watched our daughters in gymnastics.  I quickly grabbed my phone to take a picture as Molly went down into the splits.  I wanted to show Eric, because we had never [...]
