Weekend in Photos
Despite Brad having to work a lot this weekend, we still managed to get outside and enjoy some of the beautiful spring weather in Austin. Saturday we spent the afternoon at the Austin Zoo, Sunday morning I took the boys to a newly discovered park just down the street and Sunday afternoon we flew [...]
Snow in Austin
First off, tomorrow morning I’m taking Forest in for this Occupational Therapy evaluation tomorrow. We are looking forward to hearing what they have to say.
And in case you didn’t hear, it snowed in Austin today. We woke at 6 AM hearing the sleet falling and found that it was accumulating into [...]
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 [...]

Padawan Learners
As soon as the boys found out that I had a green light-saber, all they want to do at my house now is play with it. It’s best to start them in light-saber training early, right?
And some videos:
Mushrooms!
The past month or so we’ve been getting a lot of rain, so I’ve constantly had mushrooms sprouting around the back yard. One morning after breakfast the boys wanted to go outside and it was relatively dry so we went out in the back yard, and there were mushrooms everywhere! The boys were [...]
Pictures of the Big Boy Beds
Finally, here they are. We bought everything at Ikea. The beds can be crib size, are currently set at toddler size, and grow out to be twins in the years ahead. I’m going to swing by Ikea in a couple of weeks and make them some matching curtains. We are discussing [...]
