A Glimpse Into Kennedy as a Teenager

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I got new glasses, for the first time in 8 years, a couple of weeks ago. I wore them one day and Kennedy said, (in that snotty little voice of hers that she uses when she thinks I’m being really stupid) “Why are you wearing your glasses?” I replied that I thought they […]

Time Flies!

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Can’t believe we’re already to this point, but I guess the 2 documents I’m posting here are proof enough… Our little one is officially school-age! Yeah, I’ve taken her to school every day for the last couple of months, but somehow it just doesn’t sink in until you get that first “Official School Portrait”:

and […]

Punkin Guts

Scroll down a smidge ’till you see the post titled “Have you met my friend Jack?”, click on the comment link, and you’ll notice that our dear friend and relative, Uncle “Chicken” Ricky, is suggesting that we’re missing out on the true Halloween experience by not actually eviscerating a pumpkin this year.
Well, we here at […]

A brief getaway

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

It’s October, which for the Cox Family means Fall Break… Our last opportunity to squeeze in a few days of leisurely leisure before the demands of the Holiday Season grab us by the short hairs and twist us to and fro, commanding our appearance at this function or that event.
This year, especially, Fall Break […]

I’ll have a grande, non-fat, decaf, vanilla latte, please.

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

We spent a couple of days in Tulsa for Fall Break. We went to the aquarium, which thrilled Kennedy for all of 20 minutes. Walter hit the nail on the head when he said why she was so bored: It’s not shopping! K. is my little shopping buddy. We don’t […]

How’s That Again?

Off the Hook, For Now Anyway…

Monday, October 16th, 2006

Thanks to all of you who have listened to me rant about my legal troubles over the past few weeks. I am ecstatic to report that the attorney for the plaintiff has withdrawn from the case. So…unless a new lawyer is found in the next couple of months, my attorney will file a […]

Have you met my friend Jack?

Saturday, October 14th, 2006

We’re a little late posting this what with, like, life happening and stuff, but we had a little pumpkin decorating party last weekend. And thank goodness for Wal•Mart! You can get a kit there that takes all the work out of Pumpkin Preparation and is still fun! Just slap on a pumpkin […]

“Always have to steal my kisses…”

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Earlier in the week, when I picked up Kennedy from school, I leaned down to kiss her in the parking lot. She growled at me, “MOMMMMMM!” I didn’t know what to make of it at the time, but once in the car she let me know that I was, in no uncertain terms, […]

Behind the scenes: The voicemail shoot

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

My dad wants you to think that cute pictures like this just happen:

But the truth is… it takes a lot of work!
I managed to snap a few quick pics while modeling for the “voicemail shoot” so that you could get a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making the art for this, our amazing […]
