Just a little something for Father’s Day weekend… I always knew that my father was a little older than the other kids’ dads. Not because he acted it, just because I knew his age. As a matter of fact, he didn’t “act” it at all. He was 42 when I was born, but he could…
Tickling the Ivories
My mother bought a beatifully constructed piano, circa 1890, while they lived in California (where I was born) so that she could learn how to play. She took lessons while I grew inside her belly. Perhaps that is why I love music so much? Maybe, maybe not. Either way it’s a nice thought. I also…
The Weekend in Pictures
Saturday was the big day for our pictures and Christina was so wonderful to work with! She’s posted some of our shots here. We plan to get together later this week to see them all and introduce our kiddos to each other. (Yes kids, play amongst yourselves while we look at the pics!) I am…
Easter At Its Best
We went to Easter mass at the church I grew up attending. The mass happened to be geared more towards children and Father James called them up to the altar to show them his Easter basket. Inside one egg he had candy which sent them all into a tizzy. Once he calmed them down he…
Spring Fling!
We spent the morning with our playgroup at the Fort Worth botanical gardens. While there we visited the butterlfy exhibit, had a picnic lunch and did a little Easter egg hunt for the kiddos. Thankfully it was a beautiful day for such activities! Gavin was not really into taking pictures, but he did okay. Ben…
Lucky Linky Love
There isn’t a lick of Irish in me, but aren’t we all a little Irish on Saint Paddy’s Day? If you are not wearing your green consider yourself web-pinched. I haven’t put mine on either so you can give me a little one too. Ouch! There’s another party going on in bloggy land for the…
TGIF!
Ok, so even though I love staying home with my kiddos, sometimes I really look forward to the weekend. I mean lets face it, us SAHMs are working too and it’s nice to have a helping hand on the weekend or even to be able to go out for a little while by yourself while…
Mother’s Day…
…seems to have new meaning 2 days before you are about to have a baby, right?? Oh, I am ready though! Ben’s been running around all day (except when he took a nap – God Bless him!) saying “Happy Mother’s Day!” Tim gifted me with a nicer, newer and smaller version of my current camera…
Easter Fun & Family
We made a trip to Austin for this Easter weekend and what a cold weekend it was! It sleeted off and on most of the day on Saturday and my mother enjoyed watching the thermostat go down that entire morning… we couldn’t believe it! We even had to borrow a jacket from Ben’s cousins so…
Valentine’s Day
We had a nice Valentine’s Day yesterday. Ben is well (YEAH!) and has been but I just thought I’d mention it since he wasn’t last time I posted! He had a nice little party at school and got several valentines from his friends there. Here are all the Valentine cards that we gave to each…
