Wow. It's October 1st, already. Although it's not exactly my favorite time of year, the kids have been having a ball pointing out the many signs of fall while we're out driving around town seeing all the yellow and red leaves on trees. But despite the cooler temps, I am looking forward to a few…

I was able to score gas for $3.19 a gallon today at Costco in my neck of the woods. How about you? What are gas prices like in your 'hood? I thought this might make a good meme for the blogosphere, so if you're reading this, post the meme on your blog too. Oh, and…

N is really enjoying his swim lessons. They're almost over for this session but in the few short weeks he's had them, I have seen such a noticeable improvement in his confidence level while he's in the water. I always knew he had the technique down, but I don't think he quite knew it. His…

I've had a blog post ready for publishing since last week, but since my computer died just before then, I had to put it on the backburner. It's a new regular feature I am hoping to host here every Monday. Since I wasn't able to get my new computer up and running in time, I've…

Tonight while at N's group violin class, two of the moms commented on how tall N is getting. I gave them a tight-lipped smile and nod as if to agree, but truthfully, I hadn't really noticed. I am positive that he's definitely grown, but it's just crazy that I actually don't notice it all that…

It's going to be a bit tricky to keep up with blogging over the next few days since I am down to one computer. That's right peeps – my laptop crashed yet again last night. Thankfully, I was able to (with the help of my wonderfully smart and tech-savvy husband) backup all of my important…

Our reading habits totally go in cycles around here, as I am sure it does for most families. Right now the kids have really been digging these books: Do Stars Have Points? – N recently checked this out from his school library and D has been wonderfully reading it to him. It's over 40…
