Celebrating the Holidays

Since Christmas and Hanukkah fell at the same time last year, we had a crazy busy holiday weekend. We gave Lucy her gifts from us on Friday morning since we were heading to Joe’s parents’ Friday night and then going to my parents’ on Saturday. Her big gift was a Dora coloring table, which she LOVES! She had a blast playing all day with all her new toys. I had to work, but at 5 p.m., we were out the door headed to Joe’s parents’ to celebrate Hanukkah. We always have a great time, and this year was no...

Why My Christmas Kind of Sucked

December 29, 2011 in Grrr, Health and Fitness, Holidays, Life

Sure, there were parts of Christmas that were a lot of fun, like watching Lucy open her presents, but the rest of it was pretty darn miserable. The Tuesday before Christmas, I had a Reclast infusion. Reclast is a medicine for osteoporosis, and as...

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

December 11, 2011 in Holidays, Life, Lucy

I love Christmas. I’ve always loved it, but it’s so much more fun now that I have a little one. Honestly, I don’t even care about exchanging gifts with Joe this year (although, I think we’ll be getting each other something small). I just...

A Visit to Santa’s House

December 3, 2011 in Holidays, Life, Lucy, Memories

Did you know that Santa lives in Cherokee County, Ga? Well, he does, and this weekend we took Lucy to see him and Mrs. Claus. We were amazed from the moment we drove up and saw the light display in Santa’s yard. It was...

Thanksgiving

November 28, 2011 in Family, Holidays, Life, Memories

We had a very nice, low-key Thanksgiving. Joe was selected to be part of the NASA Tweetup for the Mars Rover launch, so he was in Florida over the holiday. I packed up myself and Lucy, and we headed to Tennessee to spend the...

Halloween Fun

November 2, 2011 in Holidays, Life, Lucy, Memories

Boy, did we have a fun Halloween! I’m sure you won’t be surprised to see what Lucy dressed as. Yep. She was the cutest Tigger EVER. Pretty much everyone we passed oohed and aahed over here, although a few called her a tiger and...

Celebrating the 4th

July 5, 2011 in Family, Holidays, Life, Lucy, Memories

We celebrated the 4th of July by having Lucy participate in her first parade! My radio station co-sponsors the parade with a local civic group, so I had to be there for the festivities. And, this year, they included a wagon parade for kids...

Father’s Day Recap

June 22, 2011 in Family, Holidays, Life, Lucy, Memories

We had a great Father’s Day weekend and, while we did a lot of driving, we got to spend time with both our families, which made it worth it. We headed up to my parents’ house on Saturday morning and had a fun lunch...

Mother’s Day

May 12, 2011 in Holidays, Life, Lucy, Memories

I had such a wonderful Mother’s Day. It all started with Joe taking Lucy to McDonald’s when she woke up so I could sleep in. They came home around 9 a.m. and brought donuts for breakfast. Yum! My wonderful little family gave me some...

Easter Fun

April 24, 2011 in Holidays, Life, Lucy, Memories

After two Easter egg hunts, I think Lucy is all egged out! The fun began last weekend with an Eggstravaganza with other kids from Lucy’s Sabbath School class. Her assistant Sabbath School teacher hosted it at her parents’ house, and it was a lot...
