When Jayce was about 10 weeks old, I went to meet up with a few friends for coffee. It was the first time they had ever met Jayce and they oooo’d and ahhhh’d appropriately over him. As we were discussing parenthood, (one of them had a 4 year old), I told them about how Chris and I had been recently discussing how this age, 10 weeks, was our favorite, and we didn’t want Jayce to get any bigger than this because this age was so fun. It’s funny...

30 Years
Posted on 7:53 AM by Unknown
Happy birthday. Today, you turn 30. I am so lucky to have you. You have brought more joy to my life in our decade together than I thought was possible. We have such a full life and am so happy to have had you at my side on this journey. And now we also have this amazing little boy. How will I ever stop counting my blessings? Thank you for taking your role as a father so seriously. It is one of...

Family Blocks
Posted on 8:42 AM by Unknown
Pin ItI have been trying to make these blocks for Jayce since well before Christmas, but the good thing about 19 month olds is that they have no concept of late Christmas gifts. And this is good for me.Since both of our families live out of town, I try to show Jayce pictures and talk about our family members so that when we do get to see them, he has some idea of who they are. I saw this great article about blocks here, and decided that I would make...

Christmas in Kentucky
Posted on 7:27 AM by Unknown
We were only able to be with the Keiths for 2 days over Christmas break so there aren’t nearly as many pictures, but we still had some memorable moments. Opening Presents (Note the U of L Snuggie) The Snowman: Introductions. Playing It Cool. The Attack. Turning 90 ...

Christmas in Ohio
Posted on 12:08 PM by Unknown
My Christmas pictures are obviously incredibly overdue, and in an attempt to consolidate my efforts a bit, I turned to collages. Family Time Christmas Morning My Big Fat Slovak Christmas Party Okay, maybe not the fat part, but the rest is certainly true. It is our annual family reunion/Christmas Eve party, complete with 50 relatives, a huge table of food, and gifts passed out by Santa and his elves. I guess I never really...

Sometimes it Does Not Pay to Improvise
Posted on 6:10 AM by Unknown
I am probably not alone in saying that, when I try something new and it goes well, it bumps up my self-esteem in that area a little bit and I am tempted to try out something slightly more daring. But just slightly. Last month, after having some success with Christmas cookies, I saw these amazing-looking hot chocolate on a stick cubes here (pictured below), and I had to try it. I had been planning to make these for over a week, and was happily melting...

I Heart Faces: Faces
Posted on 11:34 AM by Unknown
Chris was kind enough to let me get a new lens for Christmas this year. I am still trying to get used to it, but of the first 150 or so pictures that I took, my favorite one is of my favorite pair of baby blues. Luckily it’s faces week at I Heart Faces. Check out more faces here....

It’s An Honor to Be This Proud
Posted on 2:35 PM by Unknown
Last May Chris submitted his thesis to be considered for The John Templeton Award for Theological Promise, given by the Research Center at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. And he won!!!! Oh my gosh, he won!!!! We found out at the end of December, just before we left town to visit family. Chris called me when he got unofficially informed by one of his references and former Head of School. I was in the car...

Be Nice to the Kitty
Posted on 6:46 PM by Unknown
I just came across this picture of Jayce at my Mom’s house last week. After a week of trying to ride the cat, I think I can tell what we were telling him when I snapped this picture. And what he thought about it....

Bags Bags Bags
Posted on 8:59 AM by Unknown
Now that Christmas is over, I can finally share this great project! I could not resist making these cute tote bags for everyone and did not resist. I saw a great tutorial on V & Co a few months ago on making wheat pillows with freezer paper and spray paint, and I was hooked. Unfortunately I didn’t really have a place for them in the house, plus there is that whole “no sewing” thing that I try to stick to. So I decided to see if it would work...
