• See, I told you!

    I knew I wouldn't be able to peel myself away from my family long enough to blog this past week/weekend.  They're waaaaay too much fun.  I'll be catching up on posting pics and info from our trip.  But, suffice it to say that David, N8, Will and I had an…

  • Texas travels.

    It's so good to be at my mama's house. David, the kids, and I left for Texas this morning at about 9 a.m. and finally made it in earlier this evening just in time to go out for dinner and just hang out. The kids did amazingly well on the…

  • Summertime tunes.

    What is it about the warm weather and the sunroofs open that just makes us want to listen to those fun, nostalgic summertime tunes? Today when I was out 'n about, within the span of like twenty minutes, I heard three of those old school beats that I remember from…

  • All you really need is popcorn and lemonade.

    Today I ventured out and took the kids to the Turkey Creek Festival in a nearby local town. I had heard there would be lots of [free] stuff for the kids and it was also toasty and hot outside [just the way I like it], so I decided it’d be…

  • My baby is a Pre-K’er!

    Where does the time go, seriously? It feels like just yesterday I was wiping his fuzzy behind with newborn baby wipes and sponge bathing him in my bathroom sink. And here we are – today – Nathan’s last day of preschool. He’s been through the 3 year-old program, now the…

  • New favorite thing in our house.

    Will’s favorite new thing to do around here is cut with scissors. Cut everything! I just couldn’t resist taking the shot of his chubby little fingers and hands today while he was doing a masterpiece.
