I’m another year older. Bah, why does saying it seem so much ickier than actually living it? It’s like it’s more concrete when you SAY that you’re older (even if, at times, I feel WAY older than I really am). However, birthdays are not all bad. Especially because, in our house, we celebrate birthday week. […]

Texas Health Resources MomBlog posted a few of my reflections from our recent evening at Carnegie Hall. I wanted to share it here, too. Enjoy! (Sorry I’ve been so lax on posting lately – it’s been a bit busy!)

You know that old saying, “kids say the darnedest things?” Well, it’s not just kids. Adults say some pretty funny things, too. The women in my family are known for our goofy phrases or slips of the tongue. Some that will last forever in our family are “But I’ll forget it’s a Snoopy watch by […]

We’re having a music party in my living room, with the Zune Marketplace playing through the XBox 360. We’ve heard MC Hammer “2 Legit,” “U Can’t Touch This,” and “Have you Seen Her?” (which Caleb told us sounded “girlie”); various versions of “Somebody Farted” (yes, you read that right – you’d be surprised how many […]

Well, it’s been nearly a week since Sam’s first birthday party, and I truly think the only reason I haven’t been flogged for not having a post up about the party is that I have at least posted some pictures on Facebook, and I’ve shared some more through Picasaweb. In short, Sam had a FABULOUS […]

Passover began at sundown on Monday, so Uncle Mike and Aunt Susan opened their home to all of us as they hosted the first night seder. I’ll admit, I was pretty nervous about it. For any of my readers who don’t know, Pesach, or Passover, is the Jewish holiday and festival that commemorates the Exodus […]

I know, I know, not an original nickname for Little Miss Lily, but it’s just too cute to not say every once in a while. And no, the party theme wasn’t lilypads or frogs. It was adorable butterflies and catterpillars!

One of Sam’s latest tricks is to walk over to a toy, squat down, and pick it up. We say he’s doing his “baby squats.” The other day, Caleb witnessed this and asked Sam if he was doing his “baby squashes.” We have now renamed these “exercises” as baby squashes. 🙂 And yes, Lynne, I […]

It seems that Sam has a little “theme” going on with his month-birthdays. He turned 10 months the same day Daddy ran the Cowtown half marathon, and he turned 11 months the day Daddy and Mommy ran the Dallas Rock N Roll Half Marathon. Don’t worry, there are no plans for races on his actual […]

My first post as a regular contributor to the Texas Health Moms Blog posted today! It’s not long, and it’s just some thoughts I had coming up on Sam’s first birthday in (gulp) just over a month! I do hope you’ll enjoy it, and leave me a comment, there or here, to let me know […]
