We had a gorgeous day in Colorado and a fussy baby to console.  After a seemingly unending set of feedings, it was time to hit the road and get some shopping done.  We had to go to the boob store so Tasha could return some nursing supplies, then over to Whole Foods to look for […]

Today was another passable day at work, punctuated by a coffee break, lunch break, and trip home to check on Tasha and Eve.  Despite this fact I did get some things done before heading home, only to have Rick and Kristine Lull stop by with some great potato soup for dinner.  (Thanks guys!)  I was […]

Today marks my return to the office, after the longest break from my professional life that I’ve taken since I started my career in 2004.  I wish I could say that this time off has been restful, but Eve has kept us pretty busy.  I was able to steal a few days of relaxation amidst […]

Here are some new pictures of the 2005 Honda CR-V that we just bought!  As you can see, Tasha looks great in it and it has plenty of cargo room (even with the seats up!) for baby gear and Teddy.  I’m looking forward to playing with some of the features once Tasha gets back from […]

I spoke with the guy at the dealership again today, explaining to him our situation and that he’d have to figure out some way to work prices down.  I told him that nobody pays book value, and their chart where they show the comparisons with other listings doesn’t really work out because those other places […]

I’ve been shopping online for a bit, looking for a used crossover so we can haul Eve and her belongings around more effectively.  I came across Automotive Avenues, which is highly rated on DealerRater.com.  My experience begins on Friday, where I contacted them regarding some cars that I found via their webpage.  It took them […]

I got up and went to Church today, then I took some of the leftover cleaning supplies back to Wal-Mart.  Once I got home, I decided it was time to de-poop the backyard and I was amazed at the sheer volume of crap the dog can produce.  I took an entire tall kitchen bag full […]

I spent most of today completing the detailing work on Tasha’s car and now it’s done.  I talked to the used car dealer today and he’s trying to get the cars together so we can review and test drive them.  He’s going to call back Monday once he’s got the cars there and we’re going […]

I got up today with a plan in mind: go to Chick-fil-A and get Chicken Mini’s to eat while Wal-Mart changed the battery in my Saturn, then shop for a bunch of detailing supplies so I can gussy up Tasha’s car for sale.  Tasha texted me while I was on the way to remind me […]

The rest of my family left early this morning, and while I was sad to see them go it is nice to have our house to ourselves again.  Even though there are less people, the house is far from quiet.  Eve had a big day today, going to the doctor’s for her two-week appointment (doing […]
