Each year at Thanksgiving the women in Dan’s family exchange small Christmas gifts – just to get the season started.  These are just fun, little, inexpensive things we each manage to find.  This year I gave everyone a pair of Christmas-y earrings.  Some were little jingle bells, some were little Christmas bulbs.  I always like [...]

It’s a HAPPY DAY because my mom found my missing camera!!  No – it wasn’t my kick ass Nikon DSL that I lost, thank God, but it was my [...]

Staying true to his Gloria Gaynor ringtone, my dad (and mom) survived the visit with us.
I talked to my mom from the airport in Austin a little while ago and I told her I thought the weekend went really fast. “Well, I’m glad you thought so,” was her reply. Hmmmm. Does that [...]

I decided, when Jack was about a year-and-a-half old, that God must give new moms a “freebie.”
I don’t remember every detail, but I do know that my God-given freebie involved me in another room changing a newborn Maria’s diaper while Jack stayed in the kitchen with a pot of Spaghetti-O’s on the stove. I [...]
