Oreos and The Phillies

October 30, 2008

Last night was grand.
I managed to sneak out of work a little early to try to beat traffic, which was a success.  In fact, I can’t even remember yelling or cursing at another driver, which is rare.
I got to the house before Rachelle and Layla, and I was starving.  When that happens, I prowl around [...]

My Pork Chop is 1 Year Old!

October 27, 2008

On Saturday we celebrated Layla’s first birthday.  It’s unbelievable how fast time went by. I remember when she would lay on the floor and stare up at the ceiling, just kicking her feet.  And now, just this morning she was chasing her 1-year-old friend Zachary around the living room to a continuous “Aahhh….

I have a new dancing partner

October 2, 2008

Just before Layla’s bedtime I ask her if she’d dance with me.  Usually she flat-out ignores me and continues trying to pull the dogs’ hair out, or whatever other important things she has going on, but then I just scoop her up because I’m bigger and a lot stronger than she is. I put [...]
