Henry's 1

After the craziness of Christmas, we were excited to see the Fox family again to celebrate Henry’s first birthday. It seems like just yesterday that I woke up to the text of his arrival. He is such a smart, curious and cute little man, and we are so proud to be his Godparents. We went up the night before his party and got to spend some extra time with him and help with set-up. Here are a few of the pictures/videos from the weekend.

 While the girls decorated, the boys played and laughed, and laughed, and laughed. 


 Stacie made all of the cute decorations. 


  Every Mickey party needs a Mickey cake! Stacie did a great job on it!

 Nana and the birthday boy! 

Henry's almost walking!

 Henry did a good job opening all of his presents and especially liked the tissue paper. 

 I loved Henry's reaction to this present! He got so excited. 


 He wasn't sure what to think about the cake. The frosting was definitely not his favorite part. 

 But he got the hang of it after a bit. 

 After the party we stopped by Ben and Jerilyn's before heading home. Conner showed us all of his new toys and his new favorite show, Sofia the First.


All in all it was a good weekend, and we were so glad to see both of our nephews having a great time at the party. They'll only be little for a short while, and I hope we cherish these moments while they last. Before you know it, we'll be celebrating Henry's 21st birthday as crazy as that sounds now!

Chi-town Shenanigans

The Tuesday before last, I left for a trip to Chicago. The annual ADRP conference was there this year and while I've been in the past, this year was different because our ENTIRE team went. There were seven of us in all, and we had so much fun together! Chicago is a place I've never really been dying to visit. I haven't been opposed, it just wasn't on the top of my list. However, after going there, I definitely want to go back. It's a very clean city and there is so much to do and so many wonderful things to see. Kyle and I will have to plan a trip there some day. If I learned one thing this trip it was that I work with the most awesome people! On the airport parking shuttle on our way home we met a lady. She said she opted to take the full shuttle because she and four of her coworkers had been together for four days and needed a little time apart. We all smiled and nodded as if we understood completely, but in that moment I couldn't. We spent our spare ti...

Love Text

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I LOVE the first Sex and the City Movie. The second, not so much, but I’m pretty sure everyone in America agrees with me on that one. I watched it while I was sick last week. In the movie, there’s an exchange between Carrie and Big that goes a little something like this: C: “Have you ever written me a love letter?” B: “Does a love fax count?” C: “When have I EVER gotten a love fax?” B: “Oh, I'm sure my secretary sent you one...at some point. What can I tell you, baby? It's just not my style. Besides, those guys had to write. They were separated from their loves by wars and hundreds and hundreds of miles. I'm right here. Hello. You make me very happy.” C: “Yeah, yeah. Put it in writing.” Comic genius. Anyway, that got me thinking that Kyle and I rarely ever stop to focus on what we love about each other. Unfortunately we spend far too much time pointing out things we wish the other would do differently....

Spring Break

Contrary to popular belief, the OSU Foundation is not closed during spring break. In fact, we are open on most of the university-specific holidays. However, I was fortunate to be able to take 1 1/2 days off to spend a little time with the family during their break. My parents, Zach, Stacy and Asher had planned to visit my Donahue grandparents in Kansas, so I decided to tag along. Poor Kyle had to work, but he also got to spend the weekend with Greg and Stacie. They took him to a Thunder game and then out for golf on Saturday. They also found some basketball video game Greg and Kyle used to play as kids so that entertained them for most of Saturday evening. Stacie sent me this photo. They won with a dunk during the final seconds of the game. I think they're excited! :) Back on the farm, we got to spend a little time with Landon, who is now 6 months old. It's hard to believe how big his is! He is even sitting up on his own. Asher did pretty good with him although he did unintenti...
