So… I just downloaded the pictures I had on my camera and I realized that I hadn’t done it in a while.  Nor, obviously, have I posted in a while.  So, here’s a quick update and then I’ll be back soon with more goings-on.

Remember this post? Well, it all actually turned out okay: But I still don’t want to do it again anytime soon.

Last weekend I ran away from home.  Literally. I left Dan with the kiddos and flew to Dallas to join my very best girl friends.  Where we all participated in a half-marathon. Several ran her first half.  One her last half.  One her second half.  And, two spectated (which, in the weather we had, was [...]

We took the kids camping – AGAIN!  Can you believe how stupid we are it?  We almost took the dog too (just ’cause we like to punish ourselves like that), but changed our minds and kenneled her.  Never mind that it cost more for her to stay than for us to camp… It was worth [...]

How many kids I have?  Seems like it sometimes, but no. My address?  Nope. The number of Diet Dr. Peppers I consume daily?  Close, but no. Number of Facebook friends?  No way. Books I’ve read this year?  Possible, but no. 2,490 MILES.  Traveled over Spring Break.  Via van.  With kids. Last summer, we traveled to [...]

I hate to give away my age, but last weekend I celebrated a birthday.  A significant one. To double ease the pain, my dear husband flew our entire family out to Utah so we could celebrate by attending his brother’s wedding.  Nothing like getting someone else to pay for the party!  It seems to be [...]
