Munk-chips, Grape Soup & Door Knobs

If anyone has been wondering what’s new with us, this post’s title kind of sums it up.  Quin’s language skills continue to develop, however this morning he started asking me about munk-chips as we were looking out the back window.  It took me a minute to figure out that he was really wondering where the […]

Trash

Perhaps it is just my little boy, but maybe there are others out there. You see today is Monday. Monday is the day that our trash is set out to be picked up by the folks who have the joy of taking it all away. Today also happens to be our recycle day as well […]

The Sonogram

This morning was kind of a big moment for us as Rick and I went for our second baby’s sonogram.  They do all sorts of measurements of the baby’s anatomy.  They look to be sure the organs are developing and so forth.  Of greatest interest to us was finding out the gender of this new […]

Table for Two

Today I had a plan, as usual.  We would drop Rick’s car at the service station for an inspection, drive him to work, and then head to the new Tanger Outlets in Washington.  It was a decent plan.  I had only wanted to look in a few stores and sort of check things out.  Let’s […]

Vacation Fun

We’ve been enjoying some fun but exhausting days in Myrtle Beach.  We made it to Broadway at the Beach with the entire Reynolds family one night.  We enjoyed dinner at Joe’s Crab Shack, and then witnessed Marah and Grant spend their “allowance” on a build-a-bear and a specially designed car.   We took a trip […]

The Beach

We arrived in Myrtle Beach sometime yesterday.  Today we took Quin down to enjoy all that God’s creation has to offer here.  He seemed to really enjoy the sand and the water.  Here are just a few pictures.  (Oh, and yes, he insisted on keeping that pacifier in his mouth for most of the morning.

Young Yodeler

We haven’t been doing a whole lot around here lately.  We had a nice visit with my sister Nancy last week while Rick was out of town at a conference.  It was fun to do some girl things together, and also to have Quin enjoy playing with Aunt Nancy.   Today we visited our friend […]
