• The expression says it all

  Dude, what is UP with my child? That grin is positively evil!...

• One present down, a bazillion to go

  Posted on Wednesday November 4th, 2009 at 10:02 in General, christmas, alyssa

  Last night I gave my mother her Christmas present — two tickets to a live Mannheim Steam Roller Christmas concert in Philadelphia. The concert is on November 14th, which is why I had to give her the tickets now. When I handed it to her last nig...

  Alyssa was born on October 27th, 2004 at 8:06am. ♥ Then: Now: Happy 5th Birthday sweetie!...

• Where it stops, nobody knows

  Posted on Wednesday October 7th, 2009 at 09:43 in weight loss, pictures, General, ryan, daniel, alyssa

  I don’t blog as much these days. I blame Twitter for that. Why write a big blog entry after I’ve tweeted sentences here and there throughout the day? But I do love blogging. I have no plans to retire from it… ever. So fully expect m...

• That went fast

  Posted on Monday September 14th, 2009 at 11:33 in pictures, General, ryan, alyssa

  So it’s barely 12:30pm and I’ve been up for over four hours. Ew. Have I mentioned that I am not a morning person? Before leaving for work yesterday afternoon, Dan told me to go to sleep early, that I better be in bed when he gets home. Ha...

• In case you haven’t guessed…

  Posted on Sunday September 13th, 2009 at 20:12 in videos, domain, General, ryan, alyssa

  jenn.nu has a new theme! Pink, gray and black is the best combination ever, and since I haven’t used it in a while (a long while), I decided to go back to it. I also wanted a theme that was more “personal” in the sense of using my p...

• Induction to girlhood

  Posted on Sunday August 2nd, 2009 at 21:37 in General, ryan, alyssa

  The birthday/swim party was moved indoors on account of rain (I woke up and thought the atmosphere was exploding; the rain and thunder were THAT loud!), so I told my sister-in-law that we wouldn’t be able to come. Drive almost two hours each wa...

• Rawrtastic

  Posted on Monday July 6th, 2009 at 01:06 in rants, General, musings, ryan, daniel, domesticated, alyssa

  The other night, somewhere between being awake and being fully asleep, I mentally composed a blog entry. I’ve done that several times, and each time I’m too sleepy and too lazy to rouse myself and write everything down before I forget. An...

• Water babies

  Posted on Wednesday July 1st, 2009 at 11:29 in video, General, swimming, alyssa

  Alyssa is loving the diving board just as much as Ryan is loving the pool itself. The pool at the motel didn’t have one, but our local pool does. She’s gone off of it a few times before, but with some hesitation, and she always wanted us ...

• I need a vacation from my vacation

  Posted on Tuesday June 30th, 2009 at 20:33 in pictures, vacation, General, ryan, alyssa

  Vacations are exhausting! You wear yourself out preparing for it, and then wear yourself out again ending it. Only the middle part — once you’re “there” and actually settled in — is relaxing. And in our case, only semi-r...

• 4. And then she said…

  Posted on Monday May 18th, 2009 at 14:17 in conversations, alyssa, 100 blog ideas

  Exploit the youth. The book suggests that you shouldn’t even be a parent if you’re not going to blog about your kids. Hah. Well, this isn’t a new one for me. I blog about what’s going on in my life, so it only makes sense to b...

• Last day

  Posted on Tuesday May 12th, 2009 at 23:33 in General, ryan, alyssa

  Wednesday is Alyssa’s last day of preschool. Ryan’s last day was last Friday, though he’ll be participating in a quick little assembly the teachers are doing with the kids, prior to a picnic that will be held outside. I’m inte...

• Mother’s Day, sickness, BEACH!

  Posted on Tuesday May 12th, 2009 at 02:00 in beach, General, mother's day, ryan, leah, alyssa

  Friday night was pretty awesome. After dropping the kids off with Dan’s brothers, I came home, finished up some work, and then kicked back and relaxed for a bit. I then left (making sure to crate* Leah after having her outside for about a half ...

• Freedom, it’s almost here!

  Posted on Friday May 8th, 2009 at 12:41 in pictures, General, ryan, alyssa

  Our kid-free weekend should kick off around 6pm, which is when I’ll be dropping off Alyssa and Ryan with Dan’s brothers. I’m not quite sure if I’ll know what to do with myself. With the exception of a few hours here and there,...

• Getting my geek on

  Posted on Friday May 8th, 2009 at 01:36 in General, laptop, musings, ryan, leah, alyssa

  My dog is retarded*. I have no idea what the hell happened, but one minute Leah’s in the kitchen, inside her (open) crate, drinking some water from her bowl. Next thing I know she’s flying into the living room as if hounds from hell were ...

• Freedom is in the air

  Posted on Saturday May 2nd, 2009 at 11:52 in pictures, General, musings, ryan, alyssa

  For Christmas Dan’s brothers presented us with a gift certificate that is good for one full weekend of babysitting. Well, we’re finally cashing that bad boy in for next weekend!!! Can you tell I’m excited? The idea of being ALONE w...

• Hello Kitty is taking over my house

  Posted on Tuesday April 21st, 2009 at 11:42 in pictures, General, alyssa

  Alyssa discovered Hello Kitty at some point last summer. As of now, she has Hello Kitty shirts (one long-sleeved, two short-sleeved), skirts (two), underwear (three), socks, and even an umbrella, a rain coat and boots. Then there’s her Hello Ki...
