Well, we missed our yearly trip to Disney World this year, so it feels like ages since I’ve been on the Small World ride. That isn’t what this post is about anyway. 13 years ago when we started dating, I met my future husband’s mother, father, and grandmother for the first time at his grandmother’s […]
I used to think that parrots had a secret pact to make fun of the many asinine humans who idiotically blurt, “Polly want a cracker?” every time they spot one of the beautiful birds. I’m not sure from where the custom originated, but I always thought it was a stupid, albeit irresistible, thing to say

After almost a week of having our new puppy, I finally got him to hold still long enough for some adorable pictures – enjoy! Lisa

We don’t know yet! We have a new addition to our family, but he doesn’t have a name yet! It’s hard for a family of 6 to all agree on the same name for a new puppy… As you probably know, our beloved almost 12-year-old dog passed away a week before Christmas. If you know
Our new bird is so cute! Not having parakeets for years has made me forget how pleasant they are to have around. JJ chirps and sings, and even when he’s quiet, he’s adorable to look at. My husband (who is not known for his patience anyway) mentioned the other day that he’s having trouble with
As you might have read in an earlier blog post, I received a pet store gift certificate for Christmas from my husband. Today I spent it – I picked out the newest member of our family – JJ the parakeet! When you adopt a pet parakeet from a pet store, the workers have to barge

Believe me, I am definitely not expressing that parrots are pets to get on a whim, not that any pets should be obtained on a whim. But I wouldn’t really even recommend parrots, the loud and moody (however beautiful and insanely smart) creatures as pets, except to the perfect parrot owner – which might just

Well, we found a church home in March, and it’s been going very well; we love it there. The month of August is filled with church opportunities for us – a few classes we’re taking, a carnival for the kids, I’m volunteering in the Welcome Center, and we just went to a retreat at a
We began our trip to Chicago last Saturday, and the 3-state, 4-kid, mini-van trip went pretty smoothly. At some point, we achieved the quadruple-kid-pass-out which is never anything short of a great thing! We arrived at our hotel in Naperville, Illinois on Saturday afternoon, and we decided to take the girls swimming in the outdoor
