Just so you don’t think that our boys are block-headed jocks because I most often post about their sports prowess (I know, I know) I wanted to share a couple of great non-sports stories about Caleb (remember, you got a non-sports Jacob story on Tuesday). I promise we’re working to raise well-rounded boys. In case you missed […]

WHAT A PARTY! As you might have heard, someone special in my life turned two a week ago. Of course, we had to throw a party to celebrate such a momentous occasion. Lots of family and friends came and were nice enough to bring presents and join us for hotdogs and sliders and cake and […]

In case you missed it, last Friday (April 27th) was Sam’s second birthday. Grandma and Grandpa came up from League City, and brought presents. I admit, I was a tiny bit nervous when Mom said their gift wasn’t among the list of things I suggested when they asked for ideas…AND that it was an idea […]

At Christmas, Aunt Lynne Cookie gave Sam a Big Red Firetruck. Now there is a story to this Big Red Firetruck. He absolutely loved it that day, but afterward, Sam’s brothers really got more enjoyment out of the truck (it shoots blue ping pong-like balls). Until recently. And now, I’ll share with you the lovely […]

A Baseball Monster. (Well, all sports, really, but this post will focus on baseball.) Most toddlers ask for Elmo or Blue’s Clue’s or the like on TV. Sam does like those shows, but 9 times out of 10, he first asks for baseball, basketball, or football on tv. (Here is where you laugh at me […]

. . . And a shameless plug for a blog I contribute to and a great Interfaith family resource. But in all seriousness, we had a fantastic time at Mike and Susan’s yet again this year, and we’re always grateful for their gracious hosting of all us crazies! I’m sorry I don’t have any cute […]

Yep, folks, it’s baseball season (well, MLB, anyway, little league has been going for a few weeks now). The Rangers had Opening Day on Good Friday, April 6, 2012. And for the 11th year in a row, I got to attend with my department. It’s one of the many perks I get at my job-plus, […]

We had a wonderful and relaxing Easter Sunday. The Easter Bunny brought a big basket to our house (of which, of course, I did not get a picture) that included two movies, bubbles, water guns, airplanes, confetti-filled eggs, and some board books (for Sam, of course). I’m not sure who enjoyed the bubbles more, Sam […]

You know the saying, “April showers bring May flowers?” Well, in Texas, we like to be a little ahead of everyone else. But now that we’ve officially passed the first day of Spring on the calendar, I can officially say: Now, those of you who know me well (or even not that well) know that […]
