It’s been an interesting week here at the house with Ada being sick. The croup is still lingering, but it’s just one of those things you have to wait out. We’ve been running the humidifier like its our job and trying hard to keep cranky pants happy. Stinks being stuck at home too… since she [...]

After a nasty, rainy drive on Christmas morning, we arrived in Lenoir for our last holiday celebration. The plan was to have a Christmas lunch with the whole fam shortly after arriving. Every one literally pulled into the driveway at the same time, so that was pretty good timing. We had a big lunch together, [...]

The first stop of our Christmas traveling was in Blacksburg, VA where Mary and Braden hosted the Mittendorf/Holloway Christmas this year. It was a full house… seven adults, three kids, five dogs, and Mary’s bun in the oven. Thanks for hosting you guys… every thing was awesome! After dinner and bedtime for the kids on [...]

Since we were going to be out of town for most of the week, just the three of us celebrated Christmas on Wednesday morning here at home.

It’s been a blast so far, and I’ll be back soon with [...]

It’s been busy, so blogging’s been on the back burner. Let’s catch up real quick.
Thursday – had a playdate with Clare and Rowen… antlers were involved.
Friday – Doug stayed home feeling really sick, went to the doctor, and was told he may have H1N1. Super. Meanwhile, Ada and I went to her friend Penelope’s first [...]

Apparently Santa doesn’t deliver new cars for Christmas, so we had to go out and buy one ourselves. Since the truck was totaled a couple weeks ago, we’ve been researching cars and went out to test drive some favorites. We liked this one the best and really wanted a gray one with the sporty-looking package [...]

Yesterday (Monday) turned out to be a pretty uneventful day. I had planned on getting out, finishing up our Christmas shopping, and get all sorts of other things done. Didn’t happen. Ada woke up from her morning nap feeling pretty crummy, and progressively got worse. It was the first time she’s ever had a fever [...]
