We visited El Dorado Regional Park for the first time on Sunday. What a treasure! DH fell instantly in love with the place as it reminded him of the park he played in when he was a kid in Odessa.
We had a ball! DD collected all sorts of dirt, played ball with Papa, watched ducks, geese, and [...]

I have just two photos to share. All wordy posts are going to have to wait until I meet a couple deadlines.
Here’s the Birthday boy getting a kiss from his big sister.
Little Boo had fun playing with her cousins.

You see this hideous pile of laundry? Ya, I see it too. But here’s a secret. You’re looking at a giant pile of math concepts. We sort, we pair, roll towels into cylinders; we fold things in half and then we fold them in half again…we quarter them; we fold things in sixths. If ’socks’ [...]

Well, it’s December.
And I gave birth in July.
And my birthday is in October.
And there are still thank you notes that haven’t gone out for those two events.
“Slacker” , you say.
Guilty as charged.
“Maybe you were switched at birth in the hospital”, you say “because most of your kin are from the Dallas/Ft Worth area and such [...]

Can I tell you why I love Jen?
First, she’s articulate. She can articulate what I’m thinking even when I’m only half way there.
Second, she has a warm heart.
Third, she has good boundaries.
Fourth, she’s M’s mother.
Fifth, she’s a good wife to Paul.
Sixth, we have some history together.
Seventh, she’s beautiful.

You know how sometimes there’s a fight when you say they can’t watch TV? Well, there’s also usually a lot more thinking going on when they play on their own. It’s almost always worth telling them to turn the silly thing off.
Anyhow, I’ve been waiting for Kate to ask if she could put Oliver in [...]

Last Sunday afternoon, Rome and I drove out to Malibu. We stopped at an outdoor playground where Kate played for about an hour. We then crossed Hwy 1 to walk around the estuary by the beach. It was a gorgeous day and our crazy daughter saw that Pacific Ocean and thought, “Hey, it’s November, let’s [...]

Yesterday, Kate used her first gerund. She came to me and said, “Baby cry”. I responded with, “Is the baby crying?” “Baby crying”, she replied. Yippee: another step in the communication continuum.
This morning I picked up my BIL at his house at 6:30 a.m. and took him to the airport. I’ve been flying high and happy since [...]

I’ve been Face-Booked. My hope for you is that it doesn’t happen to you. It’s a mind-bending experience.
I’m sure that when I get past October, I’ll do several posts about it. I also Fly-Lady’d most of the week and tried a new schedule…which left me with no time for anything. So I leave you with [...]

Bald men–HOT bald men–everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief today. It has been reported that Little Oliver is starting to grow hair on that bald pate of his.
Sean Connery, Patrick Stewart and Anthony Edwards were rumored to have gone into hiding with strategy teams — worried that their careers would be overthrown by the little [...]
