A couple of weeks ago, Dan and I left his parents with ALL of our children, and flew out to California to see my sister get married. Of course, I didn’t post about it while I was gone because a) It’s much harder to type when each hand is holding a beer; and b) I [...]

My brother came to visit us over the weekend.  A while back, he and Dan signed up to run a half-marathon in a nearby town. Poor Greg has had to do his training in the Texas heat over the last few months.  That, or he’s had to take to the treadmill.  No fun. Well, he [...]

Toward the end of last year and before school began this year, the three oldest kids begged me to buy them Thermoses.  Begged.  I don’t know who in their classes were bringing warm leftovers, but Jack and Maria insisted that they wanted to do it, too.  And Luke, wanting to be like them, insisted the [...]

Well, I’ve skipped a challenge or two.  But, that’s because the one for Friday was “Sunset.”  Really?  ‘Cause around the time of sunset, I’m a little busy… Washing dishes, washing babies, screaming at some children and putting others to bed.  It is NOT a good time for me to grab my camera and run outside.  [...]

Photo challenge 7 was “fruit.” So.  Here’s some fruit: This was some of the fruit served at my sister’s wedding party. I prefer Photo Challenge 9, which is “Someone you love.” Need I say more?  A cool extra thing about this photo is the background.  See the photos on the fridge in the background?  One [...]

Yes, I skipped Day 7. Sort of… I did take the picture, but it’s on my other camera and I can’t upload it at the moment (and couldn’t yesterday, either). I’ll post it when I can. Today’s challenge? Easy – a bad habit.

Something from a low angle: One of my sister’s wedding flowers.

Today was the annual “company picnic” at Dan’s place of work.  It’s not usually over-exciting, but the kids enjoy it and were looking forward to going.  Maria was a little bummed because she couldn’t attend this year, as she had a birthday party to go to. We dropped Maria at her friend’s house and headed [...]

Luke, my middle child, is very focused on his appearance.  It started about halfway through kindergarten, when he decided he wanted to be one of the “cool dudes” at school.  His favorite clothes?  A ripped up pair of jeans and his “Dude” shirt.  (Literally, it says “Dude” on the front.)  His backup?  A different pair [...]
