One of the Christmas gifts N received from Santa Grammy is a membership to the Lego Brickmaster Club. I am sure that most of you, if you have boys, know just what this little club is all about. Members get a wonderfully colorful and glossy magazine packed with new Lego creations, ideas, and inspiration. N thoroughly enjoys…

Fortunately both N & W were able to watch the President's inauguration today at home just before lunchtime. N knew who Obama was the minute his face was shown on the TV screen. N referred to him (before I corrected him) as "Rock Obama" and remembers using the touchscreen voting machine to cast my ballot…

I am sure many of you have at least one – if not several – nicknames or pet names for your kids. In our house it seems new names are always popping up. Here are just a few that can be heard in the T household. Wil-da-beast – This of course is one that Will is…

My ears just got to experience this . . . N: "You're the best-est mom ever. Out of everyone in the whole wide world, I love you the most." And what's more, wanna know what I did to deserve that? Nothing. That's right. I got those sweet words for just sitting here while watching Toy…

We took the kids bowling this past weekend on Saturday because kids bowled free. W has not stopped asking to go back ever since! I seriously think the dude will become a professional bowler.

One of the things that I've recently…

Happy New Year! By now I know you've heard it at least million times since midnight, but it still has a nice ring to it, nonetheless. Yesterday afternoon as I sat for a moment taking my 2007 calendar refill out of my planner cover, I suddenly realized that this new year would feel like I was…

With the company we were hosting all leaving today, things have started to resemble somewhat of life as usual around here. The kids were sad to see their Grammy & Popo leave today, along with Auntie, Uncle Gui, and Uncle Alby. After they had all driven away, I headed upstairs with them to play a…

My blogging hiatus has been courtesy of playing host to my wonderful family this past week or so. It all started when Mom and brother arrived on Saturday the 20th. We ended up having a tamalada (fancy Spanish word for tamale-making-party) all together and had quite a bit of fun making tamales, although my mom really did do most…
