I made it!  52 weekly posts for 2014! I wasn’t always very punctual in getting the post written, like this one for example, but I did write posts for 52 weeks of this past year.  I have enjoyed blogging each week, but it is so hard for me to remember details when I wait for … [Read more…]

It is January 1, 2015!  Happy New Year!  I am trying my best to finish the last two weeks of 2014 today.  Unfortunately it all seems like a blur, especially the past 10 days, as I go through pictures on my phone and try to piece together what happened over the last couple of weeks. … [Read more…]

This week was hard.  Christopher hasn’t been sleeping well.  I had major post-holiday blues.  I woke up every morning hoping the day would end.  That sounds dramatic, but it really was hard.  I angrily uttered the phrase, “Spankings for everybody!”  at one point this week.  I then gave those spankings after which both kids looked … [Read more…]

I headed out to Round Rock on Sunday afternoon and spent that night, all day Monday and Tuesday morning there.  Grandpa Marvin was there so it was really good to get some time with him. On Monday night we went to a birthday dinner for Debbie Collier then Sarah and I went to see Mockingjay … [Read more…]

This week it finally got cold!  We pretty much skipped fall and went right in to winter.  But this coming week it will be in the 70’s again.  Regardless, I enjoyed the cold snap.  And so did Betsy.  I finally got to put her in this coat from Maren! Most of this week was spent … [Read more…]

In an effort the make this as quick as possible, to get this post up before my mind erases this week from my memory, I’m keeping things super simple. I voted. For the first time in a long time.  The last time was when we lived in Waco. We made hats from Chick-fil-A bags. Sarah … [Read more…]

This week was pretty uneventful. Betsy had a doctor’s appointment. We carved a pumpkin. On Friday we drove to Austin.  In our pirate get-ups of course. That night we went out for Steve’s birthday.  My mom and Sarah watched the kids.  We gave Betsy a twix before we left. On Saturday we went out to … [Read more…]

I apologize in advance for the overload of pictures this week.  In the process of going through them I smiled almost the entire time.  I love these kids.  We have hard days where I want to pour myself a glass of wine at noon.  I don’t, by the way.  I always wait until 5!  But … [Read more…]

This week we just kind of survived.  I yelled a lot.  A lot.  I was ready for Friday by 10am on Monday.  It wasn’t just the kids being terrible, in fact I’m pretty sure they weren’t terrible at all.  I’m feeling kind of off right now.  I haven’t been exercising and haven’t been eating well … [Read more…]

We were in Round Rock on Monday and headed back home around nap time. Betsy fell asleep almost immediately and was still asleep as we approached La Grange.  I had told myself we’d only stop for cookies if everyone was awake.  Just as I got to the exit Betsy and Christopher woke up!  It was … [Read more…]
