Liam is finally liking to be on the floor by himself. He has hated tummy time and being on the floor in general. He LOVEs to be sitting up and looking around, but lately he has been spending more 'happy' time on the floor. ...

Today was Liam's first experience in the bumbo seat. He really likes to sit up and watch what everyone is doing, so we thought he would really like is seat. He was very vocal about it! ...

Two months have passed since Liam was born. It's crazy to think of how fast time flies and how fast Liam has grown. ...

| Our Shopping Trip |
|
Posted on Thursday, December 3, 2009 by Julie O'Keefe
|
| |
|
In an attempt to dump a few vacation days, David and I planned a daytrip to Minneapolis. Of course the trip was really a shopping trip to Ikea to pick up some more furniture, but a daytrip just sounds like so much more fun. We started the day by borrowing a friends pickup truck (Thanks Paul!) because the bookcases we planned to get were just a little too long to fit in the Corolla. ...

| Crafts Bring in the Holidays ... and David's Nemesis |
|
Posted on Sunday, November 22, 2009 by Julie O'Keefe
|
| |
|
With the Christmas season quickly approaching and seeming to start earlier and earlier every year, I laugh when people complain that Christmas item don't belong in stores before Thanksgiving let alone before Halloween. Maybe I'm just partial because I love decorating for Christmas or because I love holidays in general, but I don't think we can start too early. ...

Saturday David and I decided to have a date night. Dinner and a movie in... sounded like a wonderful idea. So, I called in our order for Chinese takeout and David picked it up on his way home from church. We decided to eat and watch our movie downstairs. ...

I have always loved the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Their story has been told in many forms over the years yet always maintains the same basic premise (when one makes quick judgments about another's character they often make mistakes and assumptions). The original book has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and has been adapted into movies, television shows and other books that are not direct adaptations. ...

As I sit here about to start a blog about our garden, I check the calendar to document the date.... September 29! I find it hard to believe that an entire month went by. I question where the time went. Well, here was our month in review. ...

Who would have thought that the tiny little transplants that we thought would die would instead quickly turn into a forest! On Sunday before we left for Duluth, David and I spent a hurried 10 minutes picking green beans to be brought to my parents (my mom said that she would can them for me). We ended up with about 3/4 of a grocery bag full with a couple of handfuls of sugar snap peas thrown on top. ...

It begins with the idea that mom and I are going to head to South Dakota to visit with our family (mom's parents and siblings) the Monday after the 4th. It was going to be easy because I would have already been north for the holiday and then we could travel down together and just take Highway 23 back home. ...

| Happy 4th of July to All |

David and I spent our second 4th together and our first on the Range. Holidays are taken very seriously on the Range, particularly those in the summer months when time can be spent out on one of the many lakes. Every opportunity to turn an ordinary weekend into an extended holiday are grasped eagerly. ...

Ah ... Spring. Spring has to be one of my favorite seasons. Although, if you ask David, he will say that I make similar comments about all the seasons. Maybe its just that I love watching the seasons change. The way the trees bud, bloom, change into vivid colors and shed their leaves. The wonders of nature ...

| I hate being sick |

I hate being sick. After waking from a NyQuil induced sleep to a scratchy throat and a stuffy noise, I hate to admit that I was the smallest bit grumpy and upset that I was feeling under the weather. I hated being sick as a kid yet, somehow I hate being sick as an adult even more. I look at the benefits of being ill during childhood ...

Let me just start by saying that both David and I love dogs. We love their wonderful companionship, how they are always happy to see you, and of course their unconditional love.

Anyone that knows me, even if it is just a little bit, knows that I love to read. My love for books came around the 2nd grade when I final learned to read (my first grade year was quite traumatic and didn't go well). My teacher found a book that interested me and that's when I learned the power of books. Books take you to different times, different worlds, and sometimes it just gives you that 30 minutes of solitude that puts you into the story.
