Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

Do you remember that Friends episode where Ross and Rachel discover that Emma laughs every time they sing “Baby Got Back,” and so they repeatedly sing this wildly inappropriate (but awesome) song to their infant? Yeah, living in a house of boys is like that. All. The. Time. Some inappropriate songs we have been known […]

Today I need to give a shout-out to our Bear. He’s been a-MAZE-ing in the kid and brother department these days. He’s rocking the school thing – getting up on his own, making his lunch, killing it in the grades department. He comes straight in from class and gets down to the business of homework – […]

Snippets of conversations I heard from the nursing chair last night at dinner time while Daddy and the boys served their plates: B: We heard the weirdest song on the way home from your baseball game on Sunday, Caleb. It was something about “that bass” J and C in chorus: Because I’m all about that […]

Lessons I’ve learned (so far) from living with boys: You will find dirty socks everywhere – computer desk, couch cushions, in the sheets, your front passenger seat (yes, really, and let me tell you how nice that smelled after baking in Texas summer heat) – and they will never, ever be paired or even unrolled […]

He’s been ready for 4 years. He’s been playing his own pretend games, complete with pretend coaches, teammates, and playoffs for at least a year and a half. He has practically grown up on a baseball field, and today, he got to take the field, finally, for his very own game as a Natural! To […]

Today, the BNHS football game was held at Cowboys Stadium. (Officially it’s AT&T Stadium, but sorry, it will forever be Cowboys Stadium to me. Just like the Rangers’ stadium will forever be the Ballpark – none of this Globe Life nonsense. But I digress). J’s band got to march on the field at Cowboys Stadium. […]

I’ve mentioned that the new house has a pond just at the end of the street, right? Only, like, a bazillion times (more if you happen to be friends with me on Facebook). Guess what? That pond has fish in it. And you know who loves to go fishing? Grandpa. And you know who loves […]

Marching Band Season – er, Football Season – has begun! Friday night, the Daneman boys experienced their first Friday Night Lights. Jacob marched his first game with the Byron Nelson Bobcat Band and he decided it was fun. Things he liked: performing halftime, watching the other team’s dance squad, and dancing with the other trombones in the […]

We now officially have a third ballplayer in the house. Tonight was Sam’s first T-ball practice. Before practice, Daddy took Sam to Dick’s for a bat. They came home with a bat, bat bag, cleats, baseball pants, chest protector shirt, balls, and a new glove. After a quick change of clothes, off we went to practice. Sam had a blast […]

As you might have seen on Facebook, we got together with the Daneman clan to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa Daneman’s 69th wedding anniversary. That’s right. SIXTY. NINE. Years. Together. That’s something pretty amazing to celebrate, don’t you think? Four generations of Danemania were together. Wonderful food was prepared and eaten: Cars were played with: Stories […]
