The Weddings of 2012
In 2012 we attended seven weddings. Michael was in two of the weddings, Ella was in two of the weddings, and I was in one of the weddings…and then there were the showers, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, and rehearsal dinners. Now it’s 2013 and there’s only one wedding on the books so far. I wonder...
Mother of God Church in Covington
I had the opportunity to spend some time in our church, Mother of God, one evening this week, with very few people there. We were attending practice for Max’s first Reconciliation this weekend. It was so strange being in the nearly empty church, and I spent the time marveling at the beauty of our parish. ...
Many Many Things…
There’s so many many things going on around here lately…here’s a few of the many many things going on that make me smile…. many many jars filled with tasty snacks… hanging out with many many toddler boys…. many many homemade muffins waiting in the freezer to be popped into school lunches…. many many books on...
The Games We Play :: The Enchanted Forest
While visiting Tammy York, who wrote one of my favorite books (60 Hikes with 60 Miles of Cincinnati) I learned about the game Enchanted Forest. She told me how much her family loves this game, and it seemed very cool. I happened to find it while Christmas shopping at King Arthur’s Court Toys and picked...

We ate great food, caught up with loved ones, and received some awesome gifts. We are blessed. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and here’s wishing...
Happy New Year!
We haven’t let Ella stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve since she was a baby…. But this year she asked to stay up until midnight and we said yes…it was a sweet new year’s with our little baby girl…
Randomness
just a few random tidbits from my week… I ran errands with Super Henry… I found Dobby’s head on my counter… I happened upon two of my boys hiding in a closet playing video games during a thunderstorm… I savored the fact that my husband keeps a journal filled with funny things our kids have said...
Henry & His Cars :: Obsession
Does anyone else out there have a child obsessed with the CARS movies?!?!?
The Otter Family is Complete
Last Christmas Sam was so upset because he had asked Santa for two otters, and only got one. You see, I don’t think Santa (or his elves) understood that the reason he NEEDED two otters was because he only had four, and wanted a family of six, just like his own. He was a little...
Making Dinner ~ Sam Style
Last night we had leftovers for dinner. Usually leftover night is met with cheers, especially on a night like last night when the leftovers were all kid friendly and some were even leftover from parties. We had pizza, homemade mac and cheese, BBQ sandwiches, and spaghetti & meatballs. Well not one of those things interested...
