Who knew unpacking was so fun?

mrscrumley — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:46:03 +0000

I promised myself I would put something on the blog TODAY and here it is 11:30 at night and I give you this picture. People keep asking us a variety of questions that essentially all mean: are you unpacked yet? The answer quite simply is no. But, it’s ok, because as you can see, we are [...]

Ways to get your kid excited about moving

When we were pregnant with Tebow, I agonized over how exactly to explain to Fuller we were going to be adding a new person to the family. I really couldn’t tell how he would react and it worried me to some hormone-driven degree. In the end it worked out ok, and it has been 14 [...]

If Glee can come back from hiatus, I guess we can too

I know in TVLand there have been several TV shows that break from a season with no real loose ends and when they return from hiatus, life has changed so drastically viewers are left with mixed emotions ranging from “huh?” to “man, I can’t wait to see what happens next!” If our blog were a [...]

Tebow’s First Birthday :: The No-Party Party

mrscrumley — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 02:30:03 +0000

This time last year I was sitting in a hospital bed basking in the joy of having given birth for a second time. I was either gazing at Tebow’s beautiful red hair or trying to figure out why they gave us the smallest hospital room in the joint. Well, 365 days have passed and Tebow [...]

Over the lips, past the gums…

While we have been visiting/ living in Lake Martin, we have had been blessed with some tasty treats. These brownies were made by Fuller and me soon after our visit began. Grandma Linda was given a Perfect Brownie Pan as a Christmas gift, so we thought it the perfect time to try it out! It [...]

I promise I’m not pouting…

much. The boys and I are still in Alabama. The news of yesterday’s magnificent winter weather was a bit hard for me to hear. I really was sad to be in gray, damp Alabama instead of the winter wonderland of Chattanooga. I watched facebook and twitter statuses stream by describing the sledding, shredding, slipping, and sipping [...]

Tebow the tornado

mrscrumley — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:10:04 +0000

Tebow has earned himself a nickname, “Tebow the Tornado.” He will walk/ stumble his way to an area of a room, destroy it and then move on to the next area. He takes great pleasure in toppling block towers and thinks that Legos/ Duplos should reside in the natural state of a pile on the [...]

How Fuller Met Gene Chizik

mrscrumley — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:03:22 +0000

Soon after we got to Lake Martin last week, I mentioned wanting to go to one of the Auburn basketball games. It happened that Auburn would be playing Kentucky, so we got excited and made plans. But apparently a lot of other people got excited as well (probably mostly Kentucky fans) and when I checked [...]

Temporary Re-location :: Almost Vacation, but not quite

mrscrumley — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 23:39:00 +0000

Last Wednesday the kids and I packed up the car (I did most of the packing, Tebow did a lot of whining, and Fuller was fetching things like a good kid), kissed Damon goodbye (though I did help him move our bed first), and drove to Lake Martin to spend a few weeks with Grandpa [...]

Purge

mrscrumley — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 04:50:33 +0000

I have decided the reason parents like to give kids new pajamas on Christmas Eve is so the pictures they take Christmas morning shows the kids in crisp (slept-in) clothes. I like the idea of giving my kid the PJs so the pictures I take look nice. And this year was the first year [...]
