The saga of Nathan's Kindergarten woes begins. Actually, it did start out as a worry and stress for me, but this morning I'm at total peace with it. I dropped $100 on registration for the school that we had hoped he'd have a space in but from the looks of…

Shady shades.
The other day when my mom was in town we all took a trip over to the Great Mall. My original intention was to look for scarves for the boys since N has "been wanting one his whole life!" (his words, not mine). Of course with Grammy around, we didn't…

Lego Club Rocks!
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,…

Ahem, is this thing still on?
Oh, yeah….I guess it is! I've been so busy in 2009 already, I can hardly keep up. So here's what's been going on lately. It still feels like Christmas over at the T household. On January 2nd, the kids got a nice sized delivery at the door from Amazon.com. My…

2009: A blank canvas.
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…
