peace and quiet





Our evenings are pretty busy. I get home from work, straighten up the house, let the boys play a little. Fix dinner, clean up dinner. Do baths, stories and bedtime. With Colin gone pretty late most nights, I usually get a few minutes of peace and quiet before Colin gets home. The sad thing is that if Colin comes home after they're asleep he doesn't get to see them much. The boys are so cute when they sleep. We check on them before we go to bed and it is such a peaceful sight. I was hoping to get a picture of Evan in his stink-bug pose that he falls asleep in most nights but he'd fallen into a deeper sleep when I went in with my camera. I got the picture anyway. How cute is Evans reddish hair? And Ry with his penguin!

So sweet! I love sleeping angels. But I'm always so afraid of waking up my kids, so I don't go in as often as I would like. I think I will tonight!

I have to agree seeing your kids asleep is one of the most peaceful things. I can't believe how much Evan looks like Colin!

The only bad thing about darling sleeping kids is that I'm always tempted to wake them up to snuggle them and tell them how much I love them!

Spode Dish Factory

Image
I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high but we got some amazing deals.  After we had

Baby Evan Makes his Arrival

Image
The nurses from Alta View called me yesterday to let me know that my c-section was scheduled for 7:30am, and that we needed to be at the hospital by 6:00am. So much for sleeping in! Grandma and Grandpa took Ryan last night so that we wouldn't have to drop him off before the crack of dawn. We arrived at the hospital this morning at 6:00 as directed and got all admitted. At about 7:00 they let us know that we were being bumped because of an emergency c-section that they needed to do ahead of us. At around 8:00 they took us back to the operating room. The anesthesiologist came in and did his thing. Colin was great to help me through the whole surgery process. Our baby boy was born at 8:26 am. He weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. He has dark hair but not tons of it and it's probably curly, I would guess. His name is Evan Miles Dean. We are both doing well and there will be more pictures to come! me- last day of pregnancy Jen waiting to go into surgery Colin wa

Happy 2nd Birthday, Ryan!

Today is your Birthday! Happy Birthday RyRy. We love you! Today you are two years old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by, before we know it you'll be 16. From the day you came into our family, you have changed our lives and we don't know how we ever lived without you. Thank you for being the ray of sunshine that lights up my face and life each day. I can't believe how much you've grown this year. You are getting taller and bigger each day, and your hair is finally growing well too. I love your laughter and your fun sense of humor. You are learning so many words and sentences I can hardly keep up with you. You are very smart. You are so special to us and there are so many people who love you. You are a Child of God and I thank Him each day for the wonderful gift that you are to me. Love, Mommy I love his surprized face. pictures courtesy of Brooke Dean
