Merry Christmas
The day we went in for the boys 3 year check up, Logan was running a low grade fever and both Forest and I were a bit under the weather as well with coughs and sniffles. A few days later and Forest is doing ok with only a small cough but Logan and I [...]
Birthday
Today is the boys’ 3rd birthday and I am celebrating with a day all to myself. Brad is out of town until tonight and the boys left yesterday with Dusty to spend their birthday weekend with their grandparents.
As I sit down to write this, I think back to their birth and how [...]
Trimming Trees and Birthdays
The boys turn three years old this coming Saturday, December 12th. They certainly look and act like three year olds to me. It’s a magical, brilliant age and I can’t believe the time has flown by like it has. All of us parents say that, don’t we?
This year, Dusty is taking [...]
Snow
We live in Austin, Texas so snow is a BIG deal. I grew up in more northern states and in Europe so I really miss it. Even my 10 years in Dallas got more snow then Austin does. So when they started predicting snow the other day I got excited. I [...]
It’s the Little Things
The boys started a tumbling class recently. We’ve never been able to afford the kid classes before because with two, costs get pretty crazy. But our new neighborhood has a community center across the street from us and a local gymnastics teacher thought to supplement her normal classes by offering classes to our [...]
Approaching
This is going to be a rather random post. But lately I’ve been aware of being 36.5, going to turn 37 in April. I loved turning 30, was really excited and all about “claiming” it. Honestly I partied like crazy and broke myself trying to prove to myself that I could and [...]
Braces Update
Every now and then someone stumbles across this blog when searching about adult braces. This happened last week and it’s prompted me to do an update. I’m now a year and a half into wearing my braces with a predicted two year committment going into this. My bite has completely changes, formally [...]
Alaska photos
I am half way through writing up about our trip to Alaska. But I got home and very busy helping my best friend who is getting married this coming weekend. Flowers to do, poems to read, dress stress to love her through, you know how this stuff goes. So I haven’t touched [...]
Appreciation
Went to court this morning for a minor adjustment to our child support amount and was once again greeted by a judge who was happy to see two people who have a good relationship after a split. Our family uses a cost shares model instead of the state’s recommendation for child support and the [...]
Merged Trees
I noticed something very interesting in our park and walk expeditions in the new neighborhood. There are a LOT of trees that were so close to other trees while growing that they merged their trunks for many years of growth. Two or three trees merged together, even in our own backyard. All [...]
