Gray Matter: July 2010
http://brentandemilygray.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
This Thursday Brent is leaving work early (with 17 other members of his team) and taking a train up to Yorkshire, in the north, for a "team building and fund raising" adventure. They will be climbing the 3 tallest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. This is a description of the hike as written by one of Brent's team members ". I *need* one of these! Came across this lil' beauty while I was cruising around prudentbaby.com. To start off the insane amount of catch-up blogging, we're going with the most recent stu...

Gray Matter: December 2011

Soup of the Week - Cream of Something Easy. Anyway, what resulted was Herby Cream of Tomato-Mushroom. 1 can cream of mushroom soup. 1 can cream of tomato soup (my least favorite of the cream soups). 2 cans hot water. Half a small onion, chopped. Herbs and seasonings (I probably used mixed Italian herbs, garlic, celery salt and probably some other stuff). So next time you look in your empty fridge/pantry and think "what in the world can I make with this assortment of crap? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Let Me Count The Ways. Yesterday was Brent's birthday! It was a big one too, he turned 30. In honor of my truly spectacular hubby, I thought it would be fitting to list 30 of the reasons why I think he's so great. This should have been posted yesterday but his German Chocolate cake took longer to make than expected. So here it goes (in no particular order):. Say the words, caramel, peanut butter or maple and he's all over it. He still has a favorite superhero, even at 30. He is never shocked or upset whe...

Monday, June 24, 2013. First tooth and walking. Per Elliott family tradition, Catherine waited until she was 10 months old to cut her first tooth. On the first night of Caroline's family reunion, she screamed ALL night. We figured out the reason when there was a tiny tooth there the next morning. She's already using to bite brothers and Daddy ;). Good thing she's so cute so we'll forgive her quick! Happy Birthday to Daniel! We had a donut cake and juice boxes for breakfast, party time! Gonzalez with a Z.

Ode to a Decade. 10 Double digits. A decade. Today is our anniversary and as I reflect on the past 10 years of marital bliss I inevitably reflect on all of the lost hairs, gray hairs, sleepless nights, lazy mornings and every moment in between. So what does it take to forge our special brand of romance? A husband that knows his wife needs 9 hours of sleep to be civil and a wife that knows her husband needs to watch sports. All of them. Our rhythm doesn't come from dancing the night away. Our rhythm c...

A Project For Henry. Both anniversaries have been nice and there is no one right way to grieve or celebrate the life of a child. Some people send off balloons, some donate money to charities, some make blankets for NICUs and some just quietly reflect. All of those ways- and more- are beautiful and good but nothing has hit the spot yet. I've spent a lot of time searching for the perfect idea because of this nagging feeling in the back of my mind. Do something important for Henry. This feels important to m...
