Happy Halloween

October 31, 2006 – 5:14 pm

Our little pirate had the perfect day Sunday. We went to Legacy Village for their Trick or Treat and it was so much fun. My mom and dad drove in from Sandusky and Brit and Marc came up from Akron so Kade had his captive audience and took full advantage of it. Our children are [...]

Weekly Roundup

October 28, 2006 – 5:05 pm

This week has been a busy one in our house. On Monday I decided to bite the bullet and make the Haunted Gingerbread House that I had promised Kade almost a month ago. We started it at 9:00 and didn’t put the finishing touches on until 3 in the afternoon. Mama was exhausted, [...]

Pittsburgh Revisited

October 23, 2006 – 2:07 pm

We took the kids on a day trip to our old stomping grounds in Pittsburgh. Kade has a fascination with skeletons, especially those belonging to dinosaurs. We decided to take him to the Pittsburgh Museum of Natural History since 1) it would be a good excuse to go to the burgh again and 2) they [...]

There are Days…

October 20, 2006 – 3:16 pm

There are days that I don’t want to get out of bed. The warm baby next to me and the endless hours of nursing, changing, burping, and cuddling from the night before make it even easier to pull the covers closer and drift off deeper.
There are days that I don’t want to look in the [...]

A Day at the Farm

October 16, 2006 – 2:22 pm

Sunday was the perfect fall day. The air was crisp, the sun was shining, and the leaves were in full spectrum so we decided to take advantage and do the quintessential fall activity - head out to the pumpkin patch. Kade was so excited at the prospect of picking out pumpkins and Patterson’s Fruit [...]

Now I Feel Better

Here We Go Steelers Originally uploaded by kyleroth.
I can’t take any medicine (breastfeeding) so I was looking at Kyle’s pics on Flickr to try to feel better and this one did the trick. Even though the Steelers aren’t looking too great this year, their fans sure are. Gosh, my kids are adorable!

Not Again

October 13, 2006 – 11:12 am

We are sick. Again.
This is the second time in less than a month and it’s only October. If this is a sign of the winter cold season to come, I am going to buy stock in Kleenex. The worst part is that by my calculations, Liv has been sick for over half her life [...]

Thankful Thursday

October 12, 2006 – 8:02 am

Two weeks in a row - can you believe it?
I’m thankful for the way Liv Ellen lights up when she sees me, and even more thankful for the way she lights up when she sees Kade. She is becoming more and more interactive with each passing day and her smile is like a drug to [...]

Scaredy Cat

Spider Originally uploaded by kyleroth.
I went to take the dogs out yesterday afternoon and this spider was hanging out on the garage ready to greet me. Needless to say, I jumped out of my skin when I saw it. Anyone who knows me knows my extreme fear of spiders, and this one was definitely [...]

Drumroll please…

October 5, 2006 – 8:17 am

Thankful Thursday is back in business (at least for this week).
I’m thankful that Liv Ellen is sound asleep in her swing and Kade is sound asleep in his bed, which means I have at least 15 minutes to write this.
I’m thankful that my husband is such a good photographer because now I longer have [...]
