A Kindergartner A Preschooler A haircut A knight A soccer player A great Daddy A Baby, Number 3, due in March 2010. What a surprise, a few months after selling the majority of our baby items, we found out Baby T III was on his or her way in 2010. A bigger shock yet, Meggie [...]

Just One Long Photo Post for Summer 2009
Posted in Birthday, Catch Up Post, Oxford on August 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Before my first born charges off to kindergarten, in respect to chronology and all, I better at least review her most excellent fifth birthday that occurred back in May, which would be her birthday month. So a few months have past since that day and my memory is more than sluggish, therefore, I’m going to [...]

Is it time to change my blog title yet? Just how long can I cling to my short lived, lovely year in Italy? Well I may cling to it forever, but I suppose I’ll change the title…eventually. And just what am I supposed to say when over two months have elapsed with no entry? Whatever [...]

Now that’s sweet stuff. A great Christmas for us this year. We had a blast with our families hailing from as far as Phoenix and as close as Clarkston. Things were a tad hectic with a quick trip to Tennessee thrown in the weekend before Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa Johnson celebrating 60 years worth of [...]
A little update, A lotta photos

Oh, we’ve been busy sure, but this “writer’s” block I come down with while living my “normal” American life is upsetting! My hopes for this blog was not only to keep interested parties up to date on our life abroad, but also as a childhood memoir for the kids. So this will, again, be more [...]
Hamburger without the beef please

I haven’t been sure what to say after such great blog effort from my better half. So I’ll just jump back into it unabashedly. As Meggie was eating a hamburger the other day, she said to me, “Mom, you know this hamburger would be much better if it were just the bun, the ketchup and [...]
WHAT? It’s over?

In the last few days, maybe the past couple of weeks even, I’ve been missing Italy a little more…and more. I knew our time of living there would pass by very fast and I knew I would just start enjoying and adjusting to it when it was time to up and leave. BUT DAMN, it’s [...]
Sponge Bath Spica Pants
Posted in Oxford, spica on April 10, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The sponge bath is not an effective way of cleansing the body, particularly not so when half of the body is inaccessible. And that’s all I have to say about that. After reviewing the previous week’s x-rays, Nolan’s surgeon couldn’t have been any more nonchalant as he says to me “why don’t you come back [...]
Missing Daddy

Brent had only a few days with Nolan before his departure back to Italy and he spent a fair amount of time with his son making him smile. Everyday our little guys asks “Where Daddy is?” and “Daddy not heeeere” Although today his very first words were “Icantwaaaalk” and then, of course, “wanplaycaaaaahs” Meggie has [...]

Little Nolo is settling in quite well (so far) to his temporary lifestyle fit for a Prince here at home. He has had three of four partial sets of grandparents here (Grandma Judy being closest at 2.5 hours away, Papa from Tennessee and Grandpa T from Utah), along with an Auntie (Grand Rapids), to read [...]
