This morning, I took Crazy I and Crazy II uniform shopping. Thankfully we got there right as the doors were opening and just before the rush. (There was a line out of the store by the time we left.) Jack will wear essentially the same thing he wore last year. Wait until you see Maria. [...]

The Clampets Cont’d

Okay. So. After a VERY long night of traveling, we all slept in at our “hometel,” as Lukie has come to call our current place of residence. We needed breakfast. I suggested donuts and Dan said he’d prefer the Cracker Barrel. Fine by me. After getting the little ones rounded up, dressed, shod, etc., we [...]

This morning *sniff* was kindergarten graduation. I know everyone says things like this, but I can’t get over how fast the year went. It seems like the first day of school was just yesterday. As you can see (for more pics, click on flickr in the left hand column), the kindergarten class had a small [...]

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 mean she [...]

Yesterday Jack and I sat together in the dining room and worked on his homework. One of the things he had to do was draw a picture of the word given. The word in this case was “man”. This is his drawing: “Why is he frowning?” I asked Jack. “Because he’s really, really old and [...]

It was bound to happen. Really. It was only a matter of time. I’m just surprised it took almost two years. Two years of dragging kids in and out of the car. Two years of going in and out of those preschool doors three days a week. Two years of standing in line running up [...]

Parochial School

I absolutely love the fact that we have Jack in Catholic school. It is the right place for him. His teacher is wonderful and we are part of a terrific community there. It kills me that we’re moving away and that our future is so up in the air right now. I would love it [...]

Do you think he’ll be this excited when it’s his own homework in a few years?

Pride

Well, if pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins (and I’m pretty sure it is) Maria and I are six feet under. Maria’s grin couldn’t have been bigger yesterday when I picked her up from preschool. Proudly, she thrust out her chest and across it were three stickers: “I know my birthday!” “I can [...]

Pajama Party

It’s always some kind of party when we get a box from Maddog and Gran. Today it was a jammie party, as we received a boxful of new jammies for everyone. As you can see from the photos, my new camera isn’t quite the miracle I was hoping for. Don’t get me wrong — it’s [...]
