• Happy Birthday, little bro!

    Happy birthday to one of my little brothers, C.J. I can’t believe he’s 23 years old! WOW! That really makes me feel old seeing as how i helped changed some of his diapers at one time and had to keep him from pulling all of my sister’s gorgeous locks out…

  • At least i am eating well.

    The upside to living, eating, and breathing the new restaurant is that i have not had to plan a meal in 2 weeks! I’ve been eating great, too! My father-in-law, who of course is a true Chef – a cooking god – has made some scrumptious menu items for us…

  • New Year’s Eve was a blast

    We all had such a great time! Erin, her husband and of course, Alexander came over at about 5:30 to help get the shindig going. Of course my mom and stepdad were already here. N8 was napping and david was on his way back home from working. Anyway, we were…

  • I am getting in touch with my roots (a little bit)

  • Taco Soup

    Sarah, my sis, made us the most tasty taco soup tonight for dinner! As far as i am concerned, she can stay as long as she likes!

  • Thanks Today

    Today i am thankful for my mother-in-law. She is watching nathan for me while i go to my MOYC meeting!! I mean, i guess it would be bad if the president didn’t show, right? Anyway, i really don’t know what i would do without David’s parents here. They have helped…

  • New Month; Give Thanks.

    A friend of mine had the idea of exchanging emails over the next month each day with something we’re grateful for. I have decided to post my daily praise of thanksgiving here as well. Today i am grateful for the gift of family. It occured to me that while Nathan…

  • Nicknames

    I was on the phone with a lady today whom i’ve never met, talking about a holiday mart that i am going to particpate in later this year. As we were hanging up, she said to me, “we’ll see ya, Can.” i got sort of weirded out by it. The…
