I had thought yesterday that if the new baby were a girl I would get Kris to change my entire background to pink. However, such extreme measures are unnecessary as the baby once again showed us “outdoor plumbing,” as the ultrasound doctor loves to say.…

Tuesday, I don’t remember. Wednesday, I know I went to church that night but the only part of the day I remember well is when Ivan fell down the stairs. Thursday, I got some cleaning done but saved most of it for about four hours on Friday. Yesterday,…

I woke up so out of it this morning I thought it was Sunday again. I slept pretty hard, and felt exhausted most of the morning. I think that (beyond pregnancy) the cloudy sky and threatening clouds had a lot to do with it. I was able to get ready and…

We are going to the zoo today. Mincy and I are taking our youngin’s and heading to the little zoo that could in Nashville’s least likely district to house such a wonder. Who would think you could get away from it all after driving through Nolensville R…

I made a cake for dad’s birthday, which was yesterday, and I left some of it up at Becky’s where he is staying and brought about 8 small pieces home with me in the pan it was baked in. I emphasize small because I’ve already had more than one piece of it…

Okay…I think we’ve seen the last of the stomach bug. Ivan had it, then Kris and I each had some version of it. Kris’ version being the less lovely to describe. One long night in the bathroom and a full day in bed later, he is back to his happy go lu…
