Going to Grandma’s house is almost a given every summer. At least, in the kids’ eyes. It’s not a matter of “if,” but “when”. A definite highlight is going to the beach. Another highlight is getting to go to the beach again. I forgot to bring my camera the first time we went on an [...]

We’ve had one more president than we’ve had Super Bowls. Interesting tidbit of information that lodged itself [...]

If you have been to josh’s blog lately you will have noticed his infatuation with the Sick Puppies (it’s not just all about Emma Anzai and how she rocks the bass and goes off on stage and how she really is a very accomplished bass player). He drove to Austin with his buddy to see [...]

For New Year’s Eve we had planned to go over to our friends’ house to light fireworks. They live on the cul de sac to covet where all the neighbors hang out and BBQ and do block parties and all the kids play together. They love their neighbors over there, and we were happy to [...]
