Today we picked up Ginger and drove to Round Rock to see Lisa and the kids, and to spend a couple days celebrating Sarah’s 30th birthday! Not long after we got there we went to the pool. 3 adults watching 5 kids, only one of whom can swim, is a challenge! Snacks and drinks to … [Read more…]
Heading back home today from a short but sweet time. The only pictures I took today were silly selfies with Betsy to kill time on the plane! We got home around 9, had a tasty meal of Taco C and everyone went to bed. The kids and I leave tomorrow for Round Rock!

Ben and I took a walk with Betsy and Christopher this morning. We hung out at the house for a while. This afternoon we went to the beach. This evening we went to dinner at a friend of Kate and Steve’s in Montecito. It was lovely there, except for the stress of keeping three kids … [Read more…]

Brothers brushing teeth. Being adorable. Siblings eating popsicles. Making funny faces. Being adorable.
At Target today. Betsy found this hat and I was very close to buying it for her, but managed to resist. When Ben got home tonight the kids all piled in to his car. Carson in Ben’s seat, Betsy in Carson’s seat, and Christopher in Betsy’s seat.
Christopher’s well check. He’s about 50% percentile for height and weight. No shots today! Carrie kept the big kids in the waiting room during the appointment, then we went out for lunch afterward. Very thankful for her :)
