Welcome to Earth

Fun fact: Holding baby burritos can deeply minister to one's soul. My advice...do it as often as possible!

Oh, and the card was made for Shelby by her cousin, Jacob. Children always word things the best.

She's heeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrre!

Shelby Grace Kliewer arrived on her due date, January 20th, at around 7am. Mom and baby are doing great. For that I am so thankful. Shelby is so soft and beautiful and it is so fun to finally meet this precious little one.

More pictures to come.

Life With Dan

I have been absent from the world of blogging for quite some time. There is a reason and his name is Dan.

I find that life with Dan is not only wonderful, but much busier. With the presence of a new significant person, I have much less time for many pieces of my routine that I had grown accustom. I am still a bit awkward with the balance of things (What do I cut out? I love it/them all!), but I am slowly getting things figured out and, as I do, I hope to visit this world more often. Sorry, Shey!

P.S. Dan is great; it feels like I met my best friend. We have tons of fun together and it's tough to imagine how life felt so full before him. He's a keeper. :)

Ode to 'The Quil'

Wonderous red syrup,
You make my nights so inviting.
By your command the cough takes a hike,
the mucus stops its flow,
And slumber takes it rightful place.
How wrong I was to ever speak against your taste,
Or turn to other imposters,
For I would be nothing without you,
my precious bottle of Nyquil.




Is it bad when you actually like the taste of Nyquil?
