. . . 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 […]

Yes, yes, I know the boys’ basketball seasons have been over since the beginning of March, but I realized I never posted anything here about their seasons – Bad StepMommy. (I did write up this post about the end of J’s season for the Texas Health Resources Momblog – does that get me a little out of […]

Yesterday was Open House at Caleb’s school. We didn’t know about it until the last minute (literally, I was driving home from work). Sam and I didn’t have time to make it up there (:() but Daddy went. He sent us these pictures of Caleb’s artwork on display: His class has also been studying recycling, […]

Wednesday nights the past 8 weeks have been sort of my favorite night of the week. Jacob and Bryan have basketball practice, so I get some good one-on-one (one-on-two?) time with Caleb and Sam. Last night was no different. As the three of us headed up to Chick-Fil-A to grab an oh-so-nutritious dinner (don’t judge, […]

Today started the big boys’ basketball seasons. Caleb kicked us off with the first game of the day at 9 am. His team, the Giants, played his “old” team, the Bulldogs. It was a tough loss, but the Bulldogs are known for blowing out their opponents and the Giants hung tight with them until the […]

First, you have to wash and dry the strawberries. Next, you have to melt the chocolate. It is imperative that you have a more-than-willing (and devastatingly handsome) accomplice helper! And, of course, you have to get sufficiently messy. Finally, after *lots* of labor, you have beautiful finished product. And lastly, you enjoy the finished product! […]

Our holidays are always busy and full, and this year, with Hanukkah and Christmas overlapping and my having lots of time off in December, the holidays were also full of travel. After spending several wonderful days in League City with my family, we made the trek back home so we could enjoy the Daneman family […]

We’ve been pretty busy lately, so I’ve been a little MIA. Look for a flurry of posts to come. We hosted everyone for Thanksgiving, and all had a wonderful, wonderful time. Food abounded, lots of family time. But the best part to come out of Thanksgiving? Some AMAZING pictures that Caleb took with my camera. […]
