Well folks, I hope y’all sent off 2011 in style (and safely!) and rang in 2012 with smiles and laughter, like we did. I’m sorry I don’t have any pictures to post, we were too busy enjoying each other’s company. The five of us went over to Sam’s friend Lily’s house (which happens to also […]

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 […]

**Disclaimer** I cannot take credit for these rules (thanks for the email, Dad!), though I will vow to follow them religiously. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free. If you drink a diet […]

From December 15 through the 20th, Sam and I drove to League City to visit Grandma and Grandpa. This was the first time I was brave enough to drive that far with Sam by myself (yes, I know I’m a weenie). Daddy has a big project going on at work, so he couldn’t take time […]

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. […]

Since they’re headed up here for Turkey day (two visits in one month! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! 🙂 ) and I’ve mentioned it in two different posts (here and here), I thought I better do a write up about Mom and Dad’s (Grandma and Grandpa or, less and less frequently, Grandma […]

Y’all remember the post a while back about Sam’s Baby Squashes? Well, tonight I was videoing Sam dancing to Jack’s Big Music show (I promise, videos to follow soon) and of course my memory card filled up. In looking for things to delete off the card, I came across this video from late August. I […]

Well, it seems I’m running about a week behind. I’ll catch up eventually…right? (Someone please tell me it’s possible – I hate being so far behind!) Last week, on November 5, our fabulous Caleb turned eight years old! Caleb is one of the most wonderful kids in the world. He’s smart as a whip (sometimes […]

It’s November 9, so that means it’s time for a Halloween post, right? Oh, yeah…sorry…such is the life of a busy working mom. However, we did have a fun and fabulous Halloween, complete with pumpkin searching: And what’s the point of having pumpkins if you’re not going to carve them? And, the finished scary pumpkins! […]

It’s just a fact of life that when you have kids, you have colds. Sam and I have been fighting one for more than a week now (combined). For the most part, he’s been a real trouper, never letting his faucet-nose stop him for a minute. Then, this weekend (of course when my symptoms REALLY […]
