Mila Marie Strayer
I must not leave out the newest addition to our family via my sister. Little Mila was born on October 23, 2011 and the little stinker didn’t even wait for me to get there. I think my sister called at around 3:15am telling me they were headed to the hospital. Trouble is my mom and […]

Halloween
Halloween is really just an introduction to two solid months of a candy free-for-all. The loot from Halloween carries the kids through to Thanksgiving which is a nice segue into the Christmas season. After about December 15th it’s all down hill, sugar wise. Several years ago, the kids wanted fancy costumes, translation-expensive. I spent […]

No more apologies
Every time it’s been awhile since I’ve written I feel the need to start with a big apology, as if all of the 5 followers of this blog are really broken up over my lack of updating. So I won’t do it anymore…it’s getting old. My plan is to update the last three months in […]

Dream come true
I should have posted this last month. I really don’t like going out of order. But that’s just me being obsessed with order. September 16th was a very big day for me. I went to a concert. Not just any old concert. I went to see Amy Grant. I have been to several Amy Grant […]

Tears for a cowboy

Stuff and Stuff
I was giving my sister a hard time the other day about not updating her blog…only to realize it’s been over a month since I have posted anything on ours. I guess I often feel that I shouldn’t post unless a) I have some big event to report, b) I have amazing pictures to show, […]

Four Decades!
Technically Andy did turn 40 before Josie’s birthday, but because we had such a huge bash we celebrated it a couple of weeks late. Because Andy graduated in 1989 I figured it would be appropriate to have an 80’s party. And that we did. We had tons of people there, lots of food, amazing desserts, […]

Our baby turns three!
Yep, doesn’t seem possible, but it’s true. She just turned three, but she has the personality of a twelve-year-old. She is adorable and sweet and she knows exactly what she wants. She is determined to do things by herself now which includes wearing a minimum of three outfits per day. She celebrated her birthday on […]
