Plus a couple days. You see that picture? That is a 2-month-old baby. Can we all confirm that he’s just a little baby? Because sometimes Judah isn’t so convinced. In the past couple weeks, Judah has gone from spending 80% of his days sleeping to spending most of his time awake and alert. For the [...]

I’ve mentioned before that Tony and I use a credit card to purchase all of our gas. We pay the bill off every month before it accrues any interest, and we get 5% cash back on all fuel purchases. Since we’re not paying interest, the 5% cash back is basically free money, and keeping an [...]

I realize I’m about, oh, 24 days late with this. The first few weeks of 2011 have been nutballs, so I hope you forgive me. 2010 in Photos from Karen Sams on Vimeo.

Unfortunately, Insight is “backed up,” so our Internet won’t be connected until next Monday. Boo. Working at the library or Starbucks [...]

I’m surrounded by boxes once again, and in two days, we’ll move for the third time in eight months. It’s a stressful way to start the new year, but it’s really a great thing for our family.

We’re moving Friday. I have a 6-week-old baby who will not sleep unless I’m holding him. I’ve been running a low-grade fever since yesterday morning. My husband came down with it last night. I can only hope that the baby won’t get sick, because the last thing I need right now is a feverish 6-week-old. [...]
