Jake and Gabriel – a play date

Jake and Gabriel had another play date last week. Christie brought Gabriel over that morning and he stayed most of the day. It was the first time that the boys actually played together and interacted. It was so much fun to watch them and try to figure out what their personalities are going to be [...]

Guess who can feed himself Os?

 
He also waved at his reflection in the oven door last night. This boy never ceases to amaze me.

My name is Jennifer, and I’m a couponer.

It seems like everyone is talking about the economy these days. Every news show and talk show is covering the stock market decline and how it is affecting our wallets and changing the way we spend money. Last night Matt and I sat down to revisit our budget. We’re trying to find ways to trim [...]

First Guitar Lesson

It’s probably inevitable that Jake will love music and probably pick up an instrument or two, considering we have an entire room in our house devoted to drums, guitars, keyboards, organs, and recording equipment.

Groovin’ and NOT Snoozin’

Trick or Treat; smell my feet; give me something good to eat.

I remember being a freshman in high school and throwing a costume together last minute to go trick-or-treating. We were probably way too old at that point to go knocking door to door asking for candy. But, I inherited my mom’s sweet tooth, and if people are giving away free Milky Way bars, Butterfingers, and [...]

Radnor Lake

It seems like we’ve spent more time outside this past month than we have all summer. Nashville summers can be pretty oppressive, and Jake’s eczema flares up within minutes of being out in the heat. So, we spend a lot of our time in the air-conditioned sun room. It’s like being outside but without the [...]

My husband’s sense of humor

My work schedule this last month has been pretty hectic. I’m only supposed to work 15-20 hours a week doing freelance work, but the projects I’ve been working on both deadlined at the same time causing me to work anywhere from 30-45 hours a week. Trying to balance that with caring for Jake full-time and [...]
