Hey guys! I haven't been around for awhile, since Jess and I were on vacation with some friends in Hawaii! It was beautiful, warm, and relaxing... and we were welcomed home by a huge, nasty snowstorm. Ew. But I just wanted to say hello, and I wish I could say it was good to be home

if you've ever used the "panic" button on your car key to find your vehicle in a parking lot I have a bad habit of forgetting where I've parked, and I've done this on more than one occasion... tell me I'm not alone

... is apparently the dry sink I've never seen him up there before, let alone sleeping, but I caught him. And it was cute. The camera woke him up, but he was kind enough to pose for a few before getting annoyed and jumping down

It's Carl's first Christmas, and Pants' first one with a real tree (my roommate had a fake one last year... so glad it's just Jess & me this year; she shares my love for the real thing!) They have actually been much better behaved than I thought they would be, but you'd never guess it from...

So, all of my aunts and their families are getting tins of cookies from me this year as a present... we're all broke, and we have pretty much everything we need anyway. So... everybody likes my cookies Since we're supposed to have 8" of snow tomorrow, I figure that's when I will be doing my...

A friend of mine from high school is just about nine months pregnant with her first child, a daughter. She and her husband recently found out that their baby has a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) and will need surgery to correct this immediately following her birth. They're not sure...

Jess and I just booked our vacation to Hawaii! We went two years ago with friends of ours. Our friend Jenny just told us that she and her sister are going for a month and leaving January 18th. She said they got an amazing deal, so we decided to look into it. Well, the price was right, and...

I had my physical today, and I have mild, persistent asthma. I posted a few weeks ago about suspecting I was asthmatic. I was prescribed inhaled steroids -- 2 puffs, twice a day -- and a rescue inhaler. Well, two rescue inhalers... one for home, and one for my handbag. Ha. She said that I...

Does anybody else do this? Jess and I just put our box together and dropped it off yesterday. It was really neat, because I didn't realize that the drop-off place was my aunt's husband's church (he's a pastor), and when we walked in, it was such a nice surprise to see her! My best friend...

I was home on my lunch break, and Jess and I were hanging out in the living room watching some tv. All the sudden, this guy walks up our driveway. Jess goes, "Who's that?" A second later, he goes riding past the window - on her bike. She had been keeping it in the little alcove just...

I'm in charge of the sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving this year. I never make a "typical" dish -- I like to do something unexpected & different. Does anybody have any great sweet potato recipes? I was thinking of making roasted sweet potatoes & bananas, but I haven't officially made up my mind...

Jess got these shots of the boys last week, and they cracked me up:

Hi guys I just have a question for those of you with asthma or who have experience with it. How is it diagnosed? For several months, I've had issues with "wheezy" sounding breathing, especially at night. Occasionally, this is accompanied with a coughing fit. Once or twice, it's happened...

Last year, we got shots of our black kitty with the pumpkins. This year, it was my witch's hat that caught his fancy At first he was terrified of it (the little spider he's nom-nomming on makes a spooky noise), but as soon as I took it off my head, he decided it was his new toy.

My aunt Carol's sweet little maltese, Simon, passed away yesterday. He was 11.5 years old. He died from kidney failure. She is absolutely distraught; he was her baby. His puppy friend Katie is also missing him dearly. Any thoughts and prayers that you can spare for Simon and those he left...

Carl likes to snuggle up under the covers... But sometimes I think he gets too comfortable And I can't resist the close-up of his cute little face! Sometimes, I catch them spooning

Yesterday, Jess and I went out to shop for a new couch. Jess left her wallet on the kitchen table. When we came home, guess where we found it? In the litterbox. That was a first. Think they're trying to tell her something? Carl in particular is fond of (scratching) the couch we have...

In about 45 minutes, I'm leaving to take my little man to the vet for his neuter and microchipping. He's laying right next to me now, playing with my fingers while I type... poor little oblivious thing. Can I have some vibes for a safe and untraumatic surgery for him? I know that it's a...

In the tub... I love the "uh-oh, BUSTED!" look on his face ... and on the bed, snuggling with his little brother

After a lovely evening yesterday, Jess and I got home around 10:30pm. The first thing I noticed was that the living room window was open and the screen was not in it. Our roommate was sitting in the living room, so I assumed that he did that and had been keeping an eye on it. To make a long...
