Let me tell you, Nashville is a lot different when experienced with child as opposed to with a desire to drink bourbon and dance your heart out. Thankfully, it is a blast either way. I travelled to Nashville to celebrate … Continue reading
My perception is that the bump gotten much bigger this week. As Dan puts it, “Baby got big!” I have really enjoyed feeling our little baby girl move on a regular basis, and Dan even felt her once too. I … Continue reading
Well, I’m posting this on Oaks Day 2013, so just about a year later. We certainly were up to some different antics last year!
Just gave the audio book Outliers a listen and thoroughly enjoyed it, just as I did The Tipping Point a few years ago. Malcolm Gladwell is really good at writing about really common sense things and making it interesting. I … Continue reading
Dan and I had the pleasure of joining our friends Wade and Erika to celebrate their daughter’s, Keely’s, first birthday near Phoenix, Arizona. Keely is not only the cutest little girl, but she also our God daughter. It was a … Continue reading
The Other Wes Moore, by Wes Moore, is one of my favorite recent reads. This is an autobiography/biography combo into a couple of lives so different from my own. The book challenged some of my own pre-conceived notions about the … Continue reading
Today, we had an ultra sound to determine the gender of baby Hart. And, it’s a… . . . . . . . . . GIRL!!! Yep, we’re having a healthy little baby girl. We’re thrilled to find … Continue reading
It was so awesome to see the SWE gang at Riddhi’s and Amit’s wedding in Chicago! We all ate our fill of Indian food, caught up, cheered for Riddhi and Amit, and got to meet little Hazel. The girls were … Continue reading
Gotta admit that I really am enjoying the Millenium trilogy by Stieg Larsson. The Girl Who Played with Fire was more enjoyable than the first book, yet it is equally twisted. I always make myself take my time on a series … Continue reading
I haven’t had a whole lot to say about the bump for a while, but I think this week has been a fun one as far a pregnancy goes. I hugged Dan the other day and he noted with surprise … Continue reading
It’s amazing how fast the bump is growing. It’s out of control. Its as if every day when I look in the mirror, I can see that it has grown more than the day before. I find myself wondering if … Continue reading
Maybe I should call this “a perfect burger”, because I’m sure to revise my definition of this over and over again this summer. But here is the recipe for my latest creation. I should mention that I don’t really measure anything when … Continue reading
Another book club read was Room, by Emma Donaghue. This was intriguing, but it’s not a favorite. It moves slow early on and then I thought it ended without resolving my curiosity about the characters and their situation. It definitely … Continue reading
The transformation of what was once our office into the new nursery has begun. We cleared the room out, removing all of the furniture and random items that had collected in the room. While the room that was once designated … Continue reading
This weekend was the first official (by my terms) weekend of spring. The weather was beautiful, with no rain and temps in the 70s and 80. I had nothing planned. The weekend agenda was wide open. And, we were home. … Continue reading
Here is the latest baby bump photo. We haven’t had a lot to say about the baby lately because we are still lucky that there haven’t been any major hiccups. This past week I had a day or two of … Continue reading
Last month I had the pleasure of spending a week out in Vegas for a work conference. The conference was definitely worthwhile, and I can’t imagine a better setting for such an event. Vegas really impressed me, in part because … Continue reading
I just read this one for the book club, and it was a fabulous read. Anyone else I’ve mentioned this to has said how sad the book and movie are. I beg to differ. There are definitely some sad parts, … Continue reading
