Andrews Family

Life with girls means going to the grocery store for chapstick and ending up with this.

Thanksgiving weekend is one of the biggest movie weekends of the year. If you’re planning on heading to the theater, make plans to see Bella - certainly the best movie I’ve seen this year! Bella reminds us of all that we have to be thankful for - not the least of which is the simple [...]

I’ve been using Google’s Gmail for a while and really like it. It has plenty of storage, an excellent spam filter, a good web interface, and access via POP3. Oh yeah, its free, too. POP3 is a protocol that lets email programs like Outlook download your email, but POP3 is pretty simplistic. It doesn’t update the [...]

If you don’t know what Black Friday is you can get the low-down here. For me, it started two years ago when I was flipping through the Best Buy ad on Thanksgiving afternoon. They had a super cheap desktop PC - $250 including monitor - and a laptop - $380 (first time I had seen one under $400). My sister was in [...]

It’s true. The Lyons cousins first learned this when they received Christmas Carol for Christmas one year. She is a large stuffed horse we gave to the kids to share and we were proud when we heard that they fought over who got to sleep with her and a schedule had to be made. They [...]

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by now, but I still stumble once in a while. A couple of months ago, after helping Lisa repair her WiFi setup, I decided that I should make my WiFi more secure and switch the security on my router from using [...]

Well we are embarking on one of the biggest adventures of parenting for the first time - potty training. Even though Livy has only seen three episodes of Sesame Street that JR recorded for her, she LOVES Elmo. It all started when Grandma Andrews got her a set of Sesame Street Uno cards. So we [...]

Many of you who attended our wedding had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Kelly Steever, my roommate in Montevideo, Uruguay, and many of those who did have inquired about her so I thought I’d provide this update. Kelly & I spent an academic year abroad in the home of Luis & Malena Arzuaga almost nine [...]

For those of you in Nebraska that read my post on Bella and were disappointed to see that it was not showing in your state, it is now coming to a theater near you! Go, enjoy!!
