Last week I discovered that I'd been stuffing W's 8.5 size foot into a size 7 shoe. As such, I made a mental note to go shopping for him. Then, as luck would have it, a Stride Rite 15% off coupon magically appeared in my mailbox. Score! Or, so I…

Surprise visit.
My dad drove in from Austin late this afternoon for a quick visit with the kids. It's about an eleven hour drive and not a pretty one, but my dad was set on coming so I figured, who am I to argue? The drive was I am sure tiring and he'll have…

I have enjoyed getting to spend some real quality time with W as N is in school each day now. I can tell that he kind of looks forward to certain treats each day as well. Here's a few extra special treats W has gotten a taste of while his…

It’s just so darn cute!
I am talking about W’s latest little phrase, “Fine, boy!” It’s one of those you have to really hear to appreciate though. He says so irritatingly cute, like how you would say “whatever” to someone. So, I spend most of my days walking around the house mimicking him and his…

Hot August Nights (and Days)!
Sometimes it's just too steamy to get outside, but we somehow still find time to sit and enjoy the outdoors from inside.
