almost the end of 2007

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Its so hard to believe the year is almost over!  Tomorrow – today, actually, since its after midnight – is the last day of the year.  Its been a year of amazing changes for our family.
Tomorrow will be a fun day.  Running a couple errands since running our own business means I have to have [...]

look at my adorable… aprons!

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

You thought I was going to say kids, right? lol
Before I say anything else, though, I’ll update everyone that Ellie has been perfectly healthy all day today and (knock on wood!) no one else has gotten sick.  Hallelujah!
So, I’ve been lacking as a Stay-At-Home-Mom in that while I cook several lovely meals a day, [...]

I just took an excellent jog!  I was out for 55 minutes – I did my usual five minutes walking to warm up and cool down, and the rest of the time I ran whenever it was flat or downhill.  I’m still too much of a weenie to run up the hills around here.  But [...]

-We get to keep all three pans [...]

Poor Ellie has some kind of a stomach bug.  We thought at first it was just an allergic reaction to the asparagus she tried yesterday, but I’d say once a child vomits more than 10 times in an morning that its officially a stomach bug.  So, it seems we’re not heading to Chattanooga and Madison [...]

wowee

Friday, December 28th, 2007

I think I probably just made a poor choice… working out for two hours the night before going on a trip where I’ll be sitting in the car for 7.5 hours.  I’m thinking I’ll hardly be able to walk tomorrow evening!  Oh, yeah, and doing said workout after taking quite a tumble earlier in the [...]

great day in Roanoke!

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

We took a family outing day down to Roanoke and Radford and had a wonderful time!
First we went to the Virginia Museum of Transportation:

Then we went to lunch at a really great place called Fork in the Alley.  David got the closest thing he’s going to find to a Chicago Dog in southwest Virginia, I [...]
