Waking Up, Courtesy of Dinah

July 3rd 2010 by Jen in Family, Randomness 2

Dinah is walking around repeating “nuh-mah-nuh-mah” over and over again. I thought I’d share that right off the bat. With this whole light bedrest thing that I’m on because I’d progressed a little when I went in to the OB this week, Dan has been going and getting Dinah out of her crib in the [...]

Great Story

May 19th 2010 by Jen in Randomness 1

Glory to God for this very blunt and honest conversion story! I can’t begin to tell you how encouraging it is (and it’ll take you 5 minutes to read, so make a sandwich, sit down, and enjoy!). My prayer for this man is that he would immerse himself in a Bible-believing church who would help [...]

Blowing My Nose With Glasses On

May 13th 2010 by Jen in Randomness 1

I have reading glasses. After Dinah was born, I noticed that my vision wasn’t as superb as it once was. This could have had nothing to do with Dinah’s birth and everything to do with me getting older. Dunno. Nonetheless, I went to see Dr. Kelli who gave me a rockin’ prescription and since then, [...]

Dan Born Quote of the Day

May 10th 2010 by Jen in Family, Randomness 0

From a conversation last week: Me: Are you going to help Dinah make me a present [for Mother's Day]? Dan: I’ll help her make you a present in her diaper. Ha! (Note: He did get me a present, so don’t send him any nasty-grams.)

Leaky Tide

April 26th 2010 by Jen in Randomness 0

Do not buy liquid detergent whose packaging is smashed/smooshed on the bottom and do not treat liquid detergent as if it were indestructible by banging it around during the transition from shelf to cart, cart to car, and car to laundry room floor (who am I kidding? It sat by the front door for at [...]

I hate diaper rash

April 22nd 2010 by Jen in Randomness 1

Dinah has it. Again. And it’s so bad that she starts crying the moment we mention changing her. When we go anywhere close to the changing table, she starts clinging to us and screaming. Changing her has become an extreme sport, like wrestling a wildebeest. She’s red and raw and bleeding. We took her to [...]

Kohl’s Sale

April 21st 2010 by Jen in Randomness 1

Kohl’s is having a big sale. They have a great selection of baby stuff, with some seriously decent prices.

Corn Tortillas

April 21st 2010 by Jen in Randomness 2

Dan cooked twice two weeks ago: tacos and enchiladas. Both of these recipes were from the Food Network, so we expected greatness. Both of them also called for corn tortillas rather than flour tortillas. So we used the corn tortillas. I’m not a fan. I know some of you, dear friends, always use corn tortillas, [...]

Stomach Virus

April 14th 2010 by Jen in Family, Randomness 2

I almost named this post “Puke. Puke. and then I Puked Some More.” but I thought it might be in bad taste (pun not intended). It was a couple of weeks ago, but Dan and I are still exhausted from it. Right after Dinah’s dinner and bath on that Monday, she was in the living [...]

Girl Scout Cookies

March 27th 2010 by Jen in Randomness 0

Dan and I would eat all five boxes of Tagalongs that I bought from a co-worker in one setting if it wouldn’t 1) make us sick and 2) be absurd gluttony. They’re our favorite cookie ever. When I have freezer space, I freeze as many of the boxes as I can. To keep them from [...]
