Updates on my camping trip: AWESOME! Let me give you some background here. My family was not an “outdoorsy” family. We would go to the mountains but we’d either make sure we were home that night or stayed in a motel. My younger brother was the rebel. Going camping and doing activities that caused him [...]

Stepping Out of My Box
Last time I went camping I was about 15 or 16. I don’t remember a lot about but it must not have made much of an impression, cause I haven’t done it since. I’m not really an outdoorsy gal. I’d rather spend my evenings at a coffee house in downtown Denver and sleep in my [...]

Oh, The Faces He Does Make
Paul says I make this face. But, I’m betting it looks way cuter on Derek!

A Good Celebration
Yesterday was a great day! We celebrated some Paul! I baked him his favorite birthday cake, something called, “The Noxema Cake”. It’s a rich chocolate cake with a thick white icing that looks like Noxema. I also surprised him with his biggest birthday wish, “NCAA Football ‘09″. In our time being married, I have NEVER [...]

So, if you have a chance, send Paul some birthday wishes, whether [...]

I will admit it with all the confidence in the world. I LOVE ABBA! And the music of ABBA has made a path from Sweden to Broadway to a big screen near you this Friday. I think I will be partaking in this amazing pop-music madness.
ABBA + Meryl Streep = For this musical theatre geek: [...]

My Healthy Baby Boy
We took Derek into today for his 9 month checkup and he is 100% healthy. There is absolutely no sign of the heart murmur he was born with (which we knew was gone but they still check for anyway). The best news… he’s back on the growth curve!! A few months back, Derek wasn’t growing [...]

And… We’re Back
We finally got our camera back. And due to some demanding friends (first name rhymes with ‘osh’ last name rhymes with ‘rag’), here we go…

We Love Gymbo!
Derek and I went to our very first Gymboree class today and it was AWESOME!!! There were about a dozen babies there that were Derek’s age and he had so much fun! It was 45 minutes of activity. The “Gymbo” puppet came out and greeted each baby personally and Derek gave him a big smile [...]
