Home Sweet Home
It’s been one week now and we are all settled into the new home. I can’t believe it’s only been a week! Logan’s initial reaction last Monday evening as Dusty drove into the driveway was “This is NOT my house!” And had to be pulled kicking and screaming from the car. [...]
A long and winding road home
A month ago we put a contract on a house that we fell in love with and we were supposed to be closing on it tomorrow. We had the inspection, no major issues, we scheduled movers, we had the bank’s appraisal, so far everything going in our favor. A week ago the underwriter [...]
Searching for a Home
As some of you may have gathered from twitter, Facebook, emails, phone calls or even face to face conversations, we are searching for a home to buy. Like anyone who is in that search, we have our ideals and our must haves and right now with a rental lease that doesn’t end until July, [...]
Masks
Logan loves to play dress up. He wears shoes, scarves, hats, tiaras, jewelry, masks, anything. Forest is not a fan of things around his neck because he’s very sensitive and ticklish. He also doesn’t like it when other people wear costumes or masks. I understand the mask thing because it can [...]
What’s Up?
I’ve been filled with a lot of energy in the past few weeks which has kept me away from the computer for the most part. I have a tons of new pictures of the boys to share with you but due to a bit of a hardware failure in our household it’ll probably be [...]
Gum Graft experience
Eleven days ago, last Monday, I had gum grafting done on four teeth. One side of my mouth and the entire roof of my mouth was made completely numb thanks to local anesthetic. The periodontist scrapped cells from the roof of my mouth and sewed them into my gums to grow back in [...]
Rain, beautiful Rain
Texas, like a great deal of the world, has been in a drought. Here in Austin we usually have a really wet winter. No snow or ice because it stays too warm, but days and days of rain. We didn’t have that this year. In fact, this past week, the temperature [...]
The Bestest
I’m having a rough day. Nothing in particular, just not energetic, not focused, taking things personally that I shouldn’t. You know, just an all around blah day. But it just got better. Because Forest realized I was having a bad day and said “Hug, Momma” and then we hugged. [...]
At the Ranch
My best friend, Wendy has a daughter, Avery. She was born five years ago, Valentine’s Day. It was a magical day, it snowed in Austin that most special Valentine’s Day. Since that moment, Valentine’s Day is not the Hallmark holiday for me, but her birthday. Pure and simple. I often [...]
Chillin
We share a duplex with some very good friends. By share, I mean that we have side “A” and they side “B”. It’s awesome to live so close to such good friends and comes with a lot of perks. Like instant potlucks. A few weeks ago the fence separating our yards [...]
