This past weekend Joel went to Miami for a photography workshop; he returned energized and appeared to have a productive and fun experience. While he was gone, Mommy, Jacob, and Grandma played. I left Joshua out because unfortunately he was pretty fussy all weekend. He had drainage issue (probably due to allegeries) and cried quite [...]

This passed weekend I had Jacob go through his stuffed animals with me. We made three piles: Jacob’s, Joshua’s, and donate. Jacob was actually pretty good, giving many of his stuffed animals to Joshua. Many were obviously for a baby while others surprised me. He definitely did not want to part with certain ones. I [...]

I’ve been working on special door signs for Jacob and Joshua’s rooms since my time in the Tampa apartment. I had hoped to finish them before leaving – nope. Then, I wanted to get them done by Easter – nope. But this last Friday, completion and I think they look great. They’re the most detailed [...]

Since I’ve been home, I’ve going through everything. Organizing, purging, etc. Jacob and I have been updating his room to a big boy’s room, which I think I mentioned in a previous blog. We’ve done more work since then. We added a Spiderman  poster and a lot more Cars stickers including a mural poster. We [...]

Before leaving home, I asked Joel and Jake to make me a bear at Build-A-Bear at the mall. I wanted something to take with me, and I wanted the bear to have their voices. I ended up choosing a soft, white polar bear and Jake recorded a message for me to put inside. Joel tried [...]

The boys are back in West Palm and, of course, I miss them. Luckily, our weekend together was memorable. The boys arrived late Friday afternoon, and we just hung out and had dinner together. I gave Jacob and Joshua teddy bears that I made at Build-A-Bear with message from me (expect a separate post on [...]

Joel on February 9th, 2010

Five years ago, Jake entered our world and forever changed our lives.  And although it’s only been five years, it’s sometimes hard to remember what our life was like before his arrival.  One thing is for sure… there were definitely less toys laying around the house. I enjoy playing with Jake, but I also enjoy [...]

Joel on February 8th, 2010

This past Saturday we celebrated Jacob and Sophia’s birthdays (Sophia is Jake’s cousin).  They’re birthdays are only one day apart and Jake is just a year older than Sophie, so this one was birthday #5 for Jake and #4 for Sophie. Continuing with the themed birthday parties we’ve been doing for them, this year the [...]

We usually try to get out to the fair when it’s in town each year.  I can’t say it’s a favorite outing of ours, but it generally gives us an excuse to go out.  Every year we go, and after an hour or two, we’re sort of ready to leave.  There’s usually one or two [...]

Back in December, Jake and I went to see our family dentist.  Jamie and I have been going to Dr. Denton for at least ten years now.  He has got to be the nicest dentist ever and his staff is superb!  I can honestly say I have ZERO fear whenever I go in for a [...]
