Tonight was the Tidwell Middle School spring band concert. This is a big deal; the kids dress up and get to perform at the Byron Nelson High School auditorium (which, btw, is scary-huge to this small-high school girl). The Beginning Band (6th grade) played first, and then the Symphonic and Wind Ensemble (forgive me if […]

. . . 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 […]

Jacob’s baseball team, the Keller Aces, had their first tournament this past weekend. They played two games on Saturday resulting in one loss and one tie. (He had already played a basketball game Saturday morning and Friday night, and Caleb had played a basketball game on Saturday, so to say it was a full sports […]

Okay, so if you’re my Facebook friend (and if you’re not my Facebook friend, are we really friends?), you might already know this story. As I might have mentioned before, the big boys started basketball season this past weekend. At Jacob’s game, one of the refs had a little fun with the moms. He started […]

Tonight, Bryan suggested Jacob try to work some on his own on the fundamentals of working with fractions and percentages and finding x as a percentage of y or what the percentage discount is if the original price is y and it sells for x, and I had flashbacks to middle and high school math. […]

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 […]

I know I’ve been sort of MIA lately on here, and most of that can be attributed to a very busy “busy season” at work. And rest assured, dear reader(s? maybe?) that I’m getting back to it now that I can find my desk. And I’ve started here, with my latest post on the fabulous Texas […]
