My first born is 16 today. Its sort or surreal because I don't feel old enough, experienced enough, or mature enough to have a 16 year old anything, let alone a 16 year old child. He was born when I was 19... young... stupid, but fiercely protective of the little person that came into the world.  H...

We went skiing again this weekend.We had an absolute blast. LLB, HP, DP, etc... We all went. We skied our butts off - well, Mr. skied his off on the mogul run.The weather was fantastic - 46 degrees and sunny. Just breezy enough to cool you off on the lift, but not so cold you had to wear 35 layers.I...

Ya know, I spend a lot of my time pretending I know what I'm doing. In all honesty... I'm a bit slow on the up-take sometimes and I don't adjust to change well or quickly. For real, I'm a bit low in the self-esteem department but I try really hard not to let it show. I am compl...

I just perused my Facebook...doing the usual bit of checking around and seeing who sent me what...checking people's status messages... Then I see my sister's 2 hour old status...stating that she hopes Uncle Jimmy's surgery goes well tomorrow... Turns out that apparently my uncle broke his leg i...

the girls did a lot of playing in their rooms with dolls and jump ropes and animals. kept cass out of sunday school because she has a cold and coughed so hard she got sick. mom and dad swung by for lunch today and some playing around: sorry, wii sports and so on. mike had to work....

I've never been what anybody would consider trendy or stylish or whatever. I don't know the first thing about "what's in" or "what's out". I sort of wish I understood what makes something new and fresh versus what makes it old and passe... not because it would rea...

Genealogy is apparently the third most populat websearch, after e-commerce and pornography, so it’s no wonder that family historians are excited about the launch of the UK 1911 census online. The last time a census was made available like this the servers fell over after just a few minutes, su...

Well, it wasn't exactly the 6 + inches we were hoping for. The sleds stayed in the garage and we used the broom rather than the shovel to clear the front walk. I bet all those people who were at the grocery store on Friday pushing and hurrying and yelling "The sky is falling!" and buyi...

Well, first of all... I so didn't plan to leave that last post about the rolled up newspaper up there for Christmas. I figured I'd have time to post some sort of fabulous festive little message to say "Have a grand holiday" to anybody that stopped by to read. But instead I got so s...
