Thank you to everyone for prayers and well wishes, we are finally home (finally, because I hate staying in the hospital, I swear time stands still ). Vi has been doing really well, she seems to not know what to do with her new lip, you can see her run her tongue over it a [...]

Well, assuming all goes well, tomorrow is Violet’s surgery. She has had a little runny nose, but no fever, and we are told that they should still be doing the surgery tomorrow morning. So I wanted to post a few “before” pictures so that when I post the “after” pictures there will be something to [...]

So I snaked this idea from the activity people at work… but I knew that Sophie would like it a lot. I just bought a couple cake platters, and the styrofoam blocks inside broke up into those little styrofoam “balls” (you know, the kind that stick to everything).

I took a few funny pictures of my girls sleeping. Violet has taken to gnawing on her Valentine’s present and it has helped her go to sleep without me holding her… so thumbs up!
Sophie has been going to bed with a ton of books, and then she just reads until she falls asleep (if she [...]

I just wanted to say congratulations to my baby brother Andy, who got engaged last night to the fabulous Daisy! We here in the Mayor’s office are super excited… especially as we have been having Sophie call her Aunt Daisy since the first time we met her! We can’t wait for Daisy to officially join the family, [...]

So, I thought I would share the Black Apple Dolls that I made for the girls for Valentine’s gifts. I made them the size of the pattern, I know a lot of people who have also made them and they turned out a LOT bigger than mine (don’t know what I did), but I like the [...]

Recently we bought new ski stuff (at a fabulous deal) and got some free ski passes. So this weekend we headed up to Tahoe to use them. We thought it wouldn’t be that busy, being Super Bowl weekend, and the weekend before a holiday… but alas, there were masses of Jr. Ski Teams around. It [...]

This was going to be titled… “That’s what she said…” and then I wondered how many weird hits that would bring to my site. Either way. I had to write this down, it was so ridiculous. Yesterday in the car”Let’s Dance” by Lady GaGa came on and Jeff changed the station… we don’t mind her [...]
