So, Chris and I are out here in New England for Thanksgiving. Our families are pretty spread out (his is about 16.5 hours south of us, mine is 14.5 hours to the west). I’m working Friday night shift (which means coming in at 11:45pm on Thanksgiving to work 12mn – 8am Friday), so visiting the… Read More Missing Family at Thanksgiving
…bring new nephews! Congratulations to Cindy + Dan + Ella (sister + brother-in-law + niece) on the upcoming addition to the family! This isn’t exactly breaking news – we’ve known about the new baby for awhile – but the fact that they are having a boy is a new piece of information. Now, I can… Read More April Showers…
My younger brother Erik & and his lovely wife, Angie, have been married for almost a year. Erik is currently in the Air Force, and part of being in the military often means having to move away from family. Their case was no different, so it’s not often that we get to see them. Since… Read More More of My Lovely Family
Being the insanely proud aunt that I am (I have 3 wonderful nieces and 1 fabulous nephew), I have to share this photo of my sister Cindy’s and brother-in-law Dan’s baby girl, Ella (Shelly & Sam – you need to send me new photos if you want your little ones to be “showcased”!) Doesn’t she… Read More My Lovely Niece Ella 🙂
A huge THANK YOU to my wonderful younger sister, Valerie! I was so surprised to see a big box waiting on my doorstep when I pulled in the drive this afternoon.

Look at this cute picture of my niece, Ella. She is turning 1 this week, and I wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday! We love you, Ella (and your mom and dad, too)!
I’m going to take a moment to brag about my cute little niece. All of my nieces (and my nephew) are adorable, of course. These just happen to be the latest photos of my youngest one – Ella. All together now: “awwww”! Ella, looking like she’s about to tackle my sister; Ella being “pretty in… Read More Bragging
Yesterday was my niece Elaine’s first day of kingergarten. She goes to school out in Iowa. Doesn’t she look so cute? She doesn’t look at all nervous about getting on the bus, either. Seeing those pictures reminds me of my 1st days at school. Strangely enough, it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago!… Read More Elaine’s 1st Day of School
Today is my older brother, Dirk’s, birthday. He and his wife, Becca, just recently moved to Plymouth, IN (near Notre Dame/South Bend – it’s in “the region”, for those of you who know what I’m talking about). Even though I can’t see him today, I wish him all the best and hope that his day… Read More Happy Bithday Dirk!
