I got this insane idea in my head that we could finish the whole living room by the next Saturday (this was last Saturday). We got a lot of work done last weekend but didn’t come close to finishing. Doug and my dad both took the day off on Monday to finish and I took…

Here’s our cute little feathered friend. I was on a really long phone call at work and sometimes this is the best way to keep myself entertained. That night we didn’t take any other pictures so we were stuck with a selfie. Does anyone know what April 24th is? I didn’t either and apparently no…

I’m not sure when it started, although I think I was already out of the house. I don’t know how it started (but I feel like Aubrey was somehow involved). I don’t know why it started but I’m glad it did. All I know is for the past several years we have celebrated “Cinco De…

This day was so windy I thought our office was going to blow over and then I thought our house was going to blow over once I got home. I think we need to fight Chicago for the title of the “Windy City”. It started snowing so I settled in with a hot cup of…

Whiskers. Some people forget that April does not necessarily equal warmth and turn on their sprinklers prematurely. A nice girls evening out with my friend Brianna. Toes don’t really make for a great picture but at least the pedicures turned out well. Then again, Doug thought my black flower was an ant…so… at least we…

We are still keeping up with our picture-a-day for-a-year goal. We’ve gotten really into playing this game after dinner. It’s called Kingdom Builder, I got it for Doug for his birthday. I love finding a decent two-player game as they are hard to come by. Battleship got old fast. Getting ready for a business trip…

Mondays are the worst. Except when you have sweet Jazz tickets and get to leave early from work to go mega-feast and watch the game. Doug and I took our dads down and we all had a blast. I’m still trying to work off all the calories we ingested at the feast and plus the…

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, but each week we get farther into the year becomes a greater accomplishment when we remember to take our daily picture. As of today we are exactly a quarter through our goal and we have 90 pictures to show for it. Doug working…after work. Five years…

Seriously that’s the best I could come up with by way of a title for this week’s post. Anyone have a better idea? The texture/mud guys (there has got to be a better name for them, I just don’t know what it is) finally came over on Monday to start on the front room. It…

I realized Squeaker hasn’t had as big of a presence on the blog lately. Here he is starring in his very own picture. Tired after a long day of work. Everyone wanted a cat-nap before dinner (see what I did there?). Our city isn’t the most interesting of places but occasionally we’ll witness something out…
