The Labor of Love: April 2010
http://thelaboroflove.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. After Christmas, Ben decided that he was only having phone interviews, which can be done from anywhere. So, he moved to Arizona the end of January so we could be together as a family again! After moving to AZ, job prospects starting opening up more. Ben and I went to rainy Los Angeles, CA for an interview. The interview went well and he ended up getting offered the job, but we didn't feel good about moving to LA. We went to Utah a week later for two interviews in Salt Lake. We are...

The Labor of Love: August 2011
http://thelaboroflove.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 20, 2011. Gavin turned 3 years old on Cinco De Mayo. We invited his friend, Pierce, over with his family to celebrate. Gavin wanted a Mario cake with no frosting, but I didn't think that would be very fun. So, I made a cupcake cake which allowed me to decorate with frosting and then scrape it off of Gavin's "piece.". Wearing the traditional sombrero during the Happy Birthday song. Blowing out the candles. What a cute 3-year-old! Pierce really enjoyed the cake. Monday, August 15, 2011.

Monday, August 15, 2011. Showing me the bird he made at Story Time. This is his "Cheese! Playing at the Children's Museum. Playing at the park. He is very afraid of this bridge, so he crawls across it. The Contemporary Art Museum. What a yummy cookie! This is his camera. He uses it to take pictures and then he shows them to me. I love his imagination! Nathan, Joy, Oliver and Violet. Looks like you have been having lots of fun! He is SO CUTE! August 15, 2011 at 11:13 AM. September 16, 2011 at 2:15 PM.

The Labor of Love: December 2009
http://thelaboroflove.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. We were in a hurry. And I remembered everything but. When we realized that we had just driven a half hour to church to hear Natalie and Dustyn speak and we didn't have Gavin's clothes- well, we couldn't stop laughing, mostly out of embarrassment. Lesson learned: dress him before I leave the house, or at least start dressing him in the car so I know that I don't have his clothes before we get to our destination. Saturday, December 19, 2009. We had a blast, as usual. He also enjo...

The Labor of Love: May 2011
http://thelaboroflove.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 23, 2011. We checked out our local farmer's market one Saturday morning. We tried some awesome Belgium waffles. Then we listened to some music. Gavin got to sit in a real fire truck- definitely a highlight for him. And he was the last kid they let on before they drove away. These pigs are all over the Cincinnati area- painted in different themes and colors depending on the area in which they are found. Gavin got tired of walking around the market until we bought him a giant cookie!

The Labor of Love: July 2011
http://thelaboroflove.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. An Hour Long Elevator Ride. Gavin stayed pretty happy the whole time- especially while I had the camera out. I was wearing my swimsuit and cover up, since we were headed to playgroup at the splash park. I pulled my gym clothes on over my swimsuit while we waited to be rescued so that I wouldn't be totally embarrassed when the door did finally open. And thank goodness I had snacks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). We moved to the Cincinnati, OH area in 2010. We are loving it here!

The Labor of Love: March 2011

Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Grandpa Mullins bought us tickets to see Yo Gabba Gabba! In Richmond. So, Gavin and I took a special trip to Virginia for this totally awesome event! At first, Gavin didn't know exactly what was going on, but he was happy to be there. This was outside the theater. Waiting for the show to start. We all got DJ Lance glasses as we walked in. I love Yo Gabba Gabba! Leslie and the LYs. Party in my Tummy! Friday, March 25, 2011. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Thursday, March 17, 2011.

The Labor of Love: Ben Turns 28
http://thelaboroflove.blogspot.com/2011/08/ben-turns-28.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. New family tradition of wearing the sombrero while we sing Happy Birthday. Banana Cream Pie in a bowl for his birthday cake, since he doesn't love cake. Cool Bowser mini remote control car- that didn't work. So, he gets to pick out something different. Should I get cheesy and sentimental now? I am so glad that Ben takes such good care of my daughter and grandson. I love him. Cheese beyond all reason love. Shelly. August 2, 2011 at 6:45 PM. I love your new family tradition! Scott ...
