Party Poopers

With the arrival of baby Fox literally right around the corner, we have missed out on some fun celebrations lately. But I couldn't let these milestones pass without at least documenting them here.

The first was Henry's 5th birthday! It doesn't seem possible that I have another nephew crossing the 5-year-old threshold. Where did all the babies go? Henry is such a grownup these days. Stacie sent me pictures from his first basketball game just yesterday! He still loves his monster trucks and cars, and has added super heroes to the mix. That was the theme of his bowling birthday party. We were able to face time him that night. He was all excited about his gifts and said he had a great time. I don't have any pictures from the party, but here are a few from the morning of his special day.



Quinn's Elsa-themed party is this afternoon. Ever since she got an Elsa dress for Christmas, she has really enjoyed playing dress-up. She turned 3 this month! I knew we probably wouldn't make it to her party, so Mom and Stacy brought the kids down on her actual birthday so we could have a fun afternoon together. She chose pizza for lunch and then it was off to the Wondertorium for a little fun and adventure. 






 

 They put on play after play for us. It was pretty precious. The theme of each, though, was the owl hunting the frog.

 Asher loved showing Quinn his old favorite exhibit.

 The scale at this hospital was a little off. 


 She was pretending this was her Elsa braid!

These kiddos are growing up so fast! I can't believe it. It is going to be so fun to introduce them to this little guys when he makes his arrival. I am sure they will have all kinds of things to teach him.

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...
