Now that Benz is mobile, we’ve been wanting to clean the rugs. My mom especially wants to clean her carpets but doesn’t like the shampooing wet method. She wanted to try Oreck’s Orbitor dry cleaning method and since she was already renting it for a day, she let me borrow it so we can clean [...]

Sushi date with our girls at a more “traditional” Japanese restaurant.
With Benz being a baby and requiring a lot of attention, we decided the girls too need some alone time with their parents. Until Benz, it was just the four of us for the longest time so Dick and I took the girls out to dinner one Friday night and left Benz home with my [...]
Headband Siblings. He works hard for his money!
Flashback to Flashdance and the days of headbands. My girls never cease to want to embarrass and torture their little bro. He works hard for his money! So hard for it honey! He works hard for his money so you better treat him right! Poor thing. The lighting in this picture is not flattering for Benz’s [...]
A match for my New Year’s frame.
We had so much fun painting on New Year’s that I decided to make a match for the first frame. The girls wanted to paint something else as well. So as they painted, I made a mate for my frame. I likes! Now where to put them! -Jane, Ah-Tiste.
Your Daily Benz: Muscular Benz.
Benz loves to stand and climb and gets quite the leg workout these days. He even goes so far as to stand on this tippy-toes. This is not ballet! Check out those swexy muscular calves! Daddy’s hoping these are soccer calves. -Jane, Mommy to Muscular Benz.
Honey, I wanna be a desperate housewife!
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’m a blogging LOSER these days and APOLOGIES! I can’t seem to find the time or energy to blog these days. (That being said, I’m so appreciative that our loyal Jane and Dick fans still visit our site daily and even read our old stories!) With [...]
A grandpa that changes diapers?!?! Freddie Mac, hands-on Grandpa!
My dad ADORES his grandchildren and he LOVES babies. It’s because babies like to do the same thing as my dad…sleep, chill in bed, eat. My mom thinks it’s really funny because she complains that when Lucy and I were babies, he wasn’t as nearly hands-on as he is now. Of course, I think that [...]
Finally, after two years…Christmas with the family.
Alright, so I’m going out of order but here are some pictures of our Christmas last week. For me, the best part of Christmas is not about the presents but having family get together. I’m excited to have my family together since last year my parents, sister, and aunt all left me to go to [...]
A super chill Artsy New Year’s with my three kids.
As with most New Year’s, I don’t do much but just chill at home. For some reason, I just don’t like being out when I know so many people are out there drinking and driving. I don’t think I’ve ever done it BIG for New Year’s. Maybe one year Dick and I went to downtown [...]
Photo Shoot: The story of Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Ickle Me, Pickle Me, and Tickle Me too!
I had a photo shoot the other day where this time, I was the photographer. One of my clients had contacted me to update their family photos because their family had expanded from having two boys (one biological and one adopted since he was weeks old) to just having adopted a daughter from Ethiopia. I [...]
