Snowed in AND sick… ugh!

So I know that as I have been sick and snowed in the last 5 days I should have had plenty of time to post plenty of entries – but sadly I was not interesting enough nor was I thinking clearly enough to write.  Here is a catch-up of the last week here at House of Lyons: This past weekend Tennessee had one of the biggest snows we had seen in 7 years!  We had anywhere from 3-5 inches across the... read more

Words With Friends

So I have gotten into a new iPhone hobby – Words With Friends!  It is basically scrabble that you play one on one with others via an iphone app.  I currently have games going with 9 different friends from Apple, The Bridge, school, etc!  So fun connecting with people in a different way. The hardest part of the first day of playing was wanting to play turn after turn but no one was taking their... read more

12 Month Check Up

Today Charlotte and I headed to Pediatric Associates of Franklin to meet with her pediatrician, Dr. MeNeely.   At this appointment we were just checking in to see how she is growing and developing, and of course getting some yucky vaccinations. :( Proud to report that Charlotte is 21 pounds and 7.2 ounces (55%) and 30 inches long (75%).  If there was any doubt, still confirmed she is the tall skinny... read more

Inner debates…

So I seem to be doing a lot of debating about my life lately: Diet, haircut, and now job stuff.   I wonder what this means… Anyway, if you have been following us here at houseoflyons you probably read the ‘Seasons may change‘ entry and know about Jeff now working at home and following his dream of doing freelance video full time.  It is going great! More info on that later. Since then,... read more

iPad thoughts

Thoughts on the newly announced iPad from Apple!   Now, I am not expert by any means, but living with a husband like mine, the fact that I used to work for Apple, plus my love of my iPhone and MacBook Pro gets me very curious and excited about these new products. I can’t wait to get to Apple Store Green Hills and get my hands on one to play with! Awesomeness: huge screen battery life  -10 hours... read more

Is this you?

So this may seem silly, but I am having a very fun time tracking my ’stats’ for my blog.  Now, don’t get too excited – I only have had a high of 67 so far, so not mega blog traffic but it is a lot more people than I thought!  Yay me!  And don’t get too worried about my being a stalker – I can’t see who is actually visiting or where you are going ;) Hence, my... read more

New haircut?

So I think it is time for Charlotte and I to both get haircuts.  I am debating for Charlotte between like a supercuts, the local Hair Depot, or the cool springs boutique hair cut places (since this will be her first one!)  Do you have to have a style for a 1 year old?? or do they just trim it?  I’m nervous about getting it cut!  So big… Next up… me!  I wasn’t going to do... read more

To diet or not to diet??

**Warning… very long and no pictures!** A little back story first, after Charlotte was born and after I stopped nursing Jeff and I decided to start a diet!  We were both unhappy with where we were personally, but more than that we felt that Charlotte deserved parents that would be able to run and tumble and play with her.  We got our butts in gear in March and did a low carb/high protein diet.... read more

First Birthday

Charlotte turned 1 on January 23rd!  It has been such an amazing year, Jeff and I are so blessed to be her parents.  To see how far this little girl has come in such a short time is astounding: rolling to crawling to walking, cooing to babbling to her first words, bottles to baby food to adult food, but smiling all the while! What a sweet girl Charlotte Anne Lyons is.  We say over and over that she... read more

First Birthday present for this 1 year old!

Charlotte got her first birthday gift via UPS today!  It came all the way from Lexington KY from Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Matt, and Cousin Reese!  It was the perfect distraction this afternoon as a certain little one I know did not want to nap :) We were very excited to open the gift and even more excited when we saw what it was! First up, a set of dishes! A great set of a divided plate, utensils, bowl, cup... read more

2 days and counting

So my to-do list should be shrinking, but instead it is growing!! I haven’t been able to check anything off the list since I’m getting most of the task done but it isn’t complete yet.  And of course I am thinking of more more I have to do!  It may seem a little silly that for Saturday I put the task in to feed Charlotte, bath her, and put her down for a nap… but it helps me plan... read more

T-minus 3 days!

CHARLOTTE TURNS ONE IN 3 DAYS!!! Wow, can you believe it?? I know I can’t! (looks like Charlotte can’t either!) I have my wonderful to-do list of the things I need to do by the party on Saturday.  Some of them may seem crazy and silly to put on a to-do list, but hey, I gotta keep it all straight! My lovely friend Sarah is coming down from Bowling Green KY on Friday afternoon to help –... read more
