Prayers For Jesse

Yesterday we didn’t see any improvements in Jesse. He was still not really moving much, and we haven’t seen him eat one time since we have been home, and there is no telling when the last time it was that he ate, since we were out of town. We decided it would be [...]

It’s been a while! So much to catch up on, so many pictures to add – so LITTLE time to do it!!!!
We left for Virginia on December 20th. The night before I realized that my Canon backpack with ALL of my camera equipment was in the back of my car, which was at [...]

Ode to Mom

I have been waiting to post this entry, but I can’t wait anymore.
The reason I have been waiting is because I took some pictures of Mom’s “oopsie”. . .but I have been so busy that I haven’t had the chance upload those pictures.
Anyway. We were at my parents’ house a week ago today (last [...]

SLACKER!!

That is what I am. I’m SUCH a slacker.
I have a post that is almost ready to post, but I’m still waiting to add a few more pictures, but they’re on the computer at home, so it will have to wait until tonight or something.
I also haven’t done Christmas Cards yet. I [...]

And the verdict is. . .

I talked to my Mom a little while ago.
They came in SECOND PLACE!!!
They got a lot of good feedback including, “We hope to see more of you two.” So that is awesome. (That is really all that mattered to her anyway. . .the air time and such.) They got a silver medal.
They were LESS THAN [...]

At this VERY second. . .

As most of you who are reading this know, my Mom is the owner of Patty Cakes in Highland, IL.
As I’m typing this, she is in Denver, CO on the set of the Food Network filming her very first “cake challenge.”

She is with her friend/another cake guru, Ashley, who is the “main chef.” [...]

This is my own personal tree that we have in another room in the apartment. (Gosh, do we need to relocate soon!! We’re growing out of this place!)
It’s my DISNEY Christmas Tree!
This was actually the first Christmas tree [...]

Twelve Days

No, not the Twelve (12) Days of Christmas.
Twelve days until we leave for Virginia.
This year we’re going a little earlier than usual. That might be helpful, considering all the luggage rules the airlines have now. We might wait to do a little bit of the Christmas shopping for when we get there. [...]

An Early Weekend Post

Friday after work I went to a friend’s house for a “Spa-jama” party.

This is the fourth one I have been to (one of which was my own – mine was a “Spa-tini” party), and they are SO fun! It is just mainly a fun night hanging with girlfriends and being pampered. It isn’t [...]
