This afternoon I was listening to Cruel Summer. As I listened, I was bouncing Adrianna in my arms to the rhythm and singing along to the chorus (the only words of the song that...

Karen got married on Saturday. I cannot believe it. My little sister is married. It was a nice wedding. If I had to use one word to describe the entire event, it would be...

I have always thought myself to be a pretty good speller, at least when it comes to every-day words. I even got third place in a spelling bee when I was in grade school....

Chloe and Molly are so well-behaved (for the most part) around Adrianna. I think their biggest concern is that they are still “part of the pack.” This strong concern of theirs manifests itself by...

Last night we tried to get Adrianna to sleep in her crib again. We finally succeeded, after a lot of persistence and patience on our part. (And thanks to her paci!) She slept in...

We went to visit Greg’s family for Memorial Day. It was Adrianna’s first road trip. 500 miles is a long trip with a newborn. She did really well. To save time so we wouldn’t...

The new Diet Coke with Splenda (rather than Aspertame) is on supermarket shelves now – Hooray! Since Splenda is supposed to be better than Aspertame, I was excited to try it. The taste is...

The season finales for Lost and Alias were last night. All I can say is WOW! They were both amazing. Lost is my absolute favorite show right now. I am going to be “lost”...

I am a big fan of American Idol. As a singer myself, I really enjoy watching the competition and the performances; both the good ones and the horrific ones. And sometimes I even agree...

Adrianna and I made a trip into my workplace today. It was so good to see my coworkers! Though I haven’t missed working itself, I sure have missed the people I work with. It...

My 10 Year Highschool Reunion is coming up in June. Even though I was homeschooled my last 3 years of school, I am still invited. I am so thankful that they remembered me! Yet,...

Adrianna, like many babies, is soothed by white noise. Yesterday I was in the other room vacuuming when she started to fuss. So I made my way, with the vacuum still running, into the...

What a perfect day today. Adrianna let us sleep in. (Well, kinda. Mommy still had to get up and feed her. But she was content to sit in her carrier afterwards and fall back...

Last night we had Adrianna on her play mat, which consists of a brightly-colored and patterned blanket with two bars over it with dangling toys. It plays music and lights up. Greg wondered if...

Adrianna turned 4 weeks old yesterday. I cannot believe it; time sure is flying by. I would say the question we get asked the most is in regards to how we are sleeping at...
