All the news has been talking about how great the bluebonnets would be this year due to the winter we had. They were okay, I wouldn’t say great, but good enough to take some pictures of the boys. Kobra was in no mood for pictures except when I was trying to take pictures of other […]

It’s 7:45 pm and I’m supposed to be at dinner around 8ish. I have literally been on the go since last night, doing things I wanted to do, just not timed well. After dropping the big boys off at school, I managed to get coffee, grocery shop, stop by and give Lance a kiss before […]

Today we went to a party at the Edith More Bird Sanctuary. It was a really beautiful place, but within three hours we had seen three snakes. One right next to the trail we were walking on. I had been thinking about that spot for our next Christmas picture. Not anymore. Not sure what he […]

They landed last night, went to the courthouse for their marriage license and were married by 9 am Vegas time. Mike and Lisa are a great couple. They compliment each other well and are so in love. Lisa has lived in Austin […]

Today is the feast of St. Blaise. When Lance was confirmed, he chose St. Blaise as his confirmation saint because St. Blaise is patron over those with throat ailments. At one point in our marriage, (when one of the babies arrived, I think), Lance’s throat started closing in on him. Fear, maybe. We found a […]

And the season begins… Advent…Although Advent is a season of its own, I haven’t blogged about it. We try and light the Advent wreath every night during Advent and sing “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”. It is truly beautiful to listen to my boys sing this song. At 14, Squirt is hardly excited about this […]
