Halloween 2013

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, maybe I’m just growing up or maybe it’s because we aren’t close to family? But I wasn’t as excited for Halloween this year.

Bilbo Baggins Jack-O-Lantern

My husband, T.J. Derrick, did a carving of Bilbo Baggins from Lord of the Rings for his jack-o-lantern this year. He started at 8 p.m. and finished at 3 a.m. He used pottery carving tools and an x-acto knife. Great job, T! It turned out fantastic! Check out the pirate pumpkin he did in 2012.

Weekly Thought List: Timeline

For my thought list this week, I’m doing something a little different. I went through old thought lists and picked out funny/favorite/interesting ones: 8/6/13 Eva learned the word “mine” this week. So, that’s fun. 6/10/13 The building that we live in is about 90% occupied with Indian families. Everyone is very friendly and nice, we love it. […]

B is for Boston

After a great couple of days in Boston, we are back. I’m freezing in our little apartment this morning because I’m too cheap to turn on the heater. But I kind of like the cold when I wake up. It makes Fall feel more real. I’m still in disbelief that Summer is over and that […]
