Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

I have SO MUCH FOOTAGE of the swimming antics at Grandma’s house. Fear not, I have culled the plethora of images and footage and have picked some of my favorites. Enjoy – we sure did!

In mid-June, Caleb enjoyed a week at TCU’s Art camp. He really enjoyed it, and says he wants to do it again next summer, too. And since a picture says 1000 words (or so I’ve heard), enjoy this novel. 🙂   I must admit there is one other piece of artwork that I’ve not included […]

The last week of June, Jacob and Christopher and one of Jacob’s friends from baseball, Kyle, went to the TCU Band camp. They spent 4 days immersed in sectionals, rehearsals, and fun, and the families got to hear their concert on Thursday, the 27th of June. I’m always so impressed at what the instructors and […]

See what kept us busy this spring/summer?   There were first outings at pitcher: There were many celebratory (and a few consolation) burgers consumed: There was in-game and post-game brotherly entertainment: There were fierce group photos taken There was much hardware won: For both teams!

I’m sure I’m going to embarrass the living daylights out of Jacob by posting about this, but that’s sort of my job as a parent, right? 🙂 Last night, we went to hear the Tidwell Middle School Wind Ensemble (for those of you paying attention, that’s the top 7th/8th grade band) perform their spring concert. […]

Sam”s 3 now. And as he’ll tell you he’s a big boy, not a baby. Of course, with such a milestone comes a party. Since I really recapped the party planning in pretty good detail here on the Texas Health Moms blog, I won’t repeat myself (for a change). I’ll just let you enjoy the […]

Easter was fun this year. After a horrendous thunderstorm that rained out the first baseball (league) games of the season Friday night/Saturday morning, we had a fabulous weekend. Sam had an Easter egg hunt and Easter parade at school. We decorated the house with one of my favorite flowers, tulips. Granny came over and we […]

It’s March, and we all know what that means…it’s almost Christmas! Since retailers will have Christmas gear out in another month, I thought I’d get us all in the spirit by finally recapping our Christmas. (Plus, a Christmas recap was specifically requested in a response to So Many Things, so even though it’s late, I […]
