Here’s another edition of Photos by Mason. He must have been feeling an appreciation for his toys. I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t sure if the photographer was Mason or Corinne. The navy pants and socks in the last picture are what gave him away. While we are on the subject of Mason, he…

I know, I know. Ethan will be 8 months old in a mere 11 days, but I never got around to posting these pics. Better late than never. He’s talking alot more now and smacking his lips like he’s blowing a kiss. I caught him mid-kiss in this one. The drool coming from this kid…

Today Mason turned 3. He was pretty excited. We had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, pb & j for lunch, and mac & cheese is on the menu for dinner. After breakfast, we went to the playplace at the mall. The kids had a blast. We are waiting to have cake and open presents on…

So today Corinne decided she wanted to go with me to get Ethan out of his crib after his nap. He was standing up (one of his new tricks) staring at the door waiting for me. Corinne says, “Mom, he’s standing like a rockstar!” Now, hours later, she is walking around the house with her…

Kids are silly. They come up with lots of games themselves which are always interesting and even, dare I judge, odd. Like right now. Corinne and Mason claim that the bath water is too hot. While they wait for it to cool down, they are “thinking.” Basically pacing back and forth with their hands on…

We had a busy weekend the first weekend of March. It has taken a backseat to the blizzard which isn’t quite fair considering the fun things we did. Corinne and I went on a date. One of the local high schools was putting on Beauty and the Beast. They had a Breakfast with Belle and…

In case you live out of state, let me give you an idea of what is happening in the Buckeye State. We have been literally buried in snow. Friday Tony decided to work from home to beat the storm. That was a good choice. By 3:30, the streets near our house were covered in thick…

Tony and I escaped for on a date for his birthday. After dinner, we went to the mall to get him some new dress shirts. Tony needed to use the facilities which left me wandering around the store. Normally I am not a shopper, but it proved dangerous that day because I found new curtains…

Ethan just started crawling late last week. He’s moving pretty fast already. Thank goodness the kids are already good about keeping the doors closed to the basement stairs and bathrooms. I put a gate at the top of the stairs for the first time, and the older kids freaked out. Guess they will have to…

My backs hurts. Not just hurts…aches. It has snowed again here in Columbus. We live on a corner lot which means that we have LOTS of sidewalk to shovel. Today there was another snow delay so when Ethan went down for his nap, the kids and I went out to shovel. Ugh. It killed me.…
