One year ago today I remember vividly that at work the partner was completely and totally out of the office and the server choose that day to crash. While we realized quickly and the correct people were contacted and on the problem it meant there was no access to ANY e-mail or documents etc…it was very hard to work that day. If I recall correctly it was a Tuesday and the following day we were having a lunch for Administrative Assistant’s day and I was trying to finalize the details of that with the partner’s wife as well. For all of these reasons, I decided that it was ok to come home for lunch — I could use Aaron’s computer to check my e-mail at home (my computer served both … Read entire article »

Ok so get ready for the one year ago today for the rest of the month…yep you heard right week because that is kind of what it is now (and there will only be pictures when they are relevant)! One year ago today….I wrote a post over at Ladies of the Roundtable called Circle of Friends about friendship (wow talk about things from a year ago being relevant today…) but I started that post off with an apology about my full fledged funk…and boy was I in one.

  How cute is she and check it out our first NO piggy day…she is getting so big! Looks like I have NEW bows to learn to make….well that and I looked straight at Aaron and said I want some of those BIG flowers for her hair! I love this look — I get it A LOT.

Little Man only has a cough and runny nose remaining (his fever stuck around until Friday even though he was on medicine) and as luck would have it the minute they … Read entire article »

(Sorry no new pictures — remember they have been sick…) I didn’t think I would have anything exciting to talk about today BUT Little Princess took her very first unassisted steps tonight! I should say step as she was close enough to something it was only one step — but as we know that is the start! We are pretty sure we will not be talking about a step or two for months like we were with Little Man, as she is our dare devil and she was so proud of herself that I give it two to three weeks and we will have TWO walkers on our hands (oh yeah and I am pretty sure she will be the one teaching Little Man how to run…probably sooner than I … Read entire article »
