Our Family Begins
Lotus has started the Birth Story Carnival. This is our story of how our family began.
As long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to have children. So it seemed natural that as our relationship grew we began to discuss raising a family. I don’t remember quite when it first came up or who broached the subject, […]

I woke up this morning at 3:15. I shook myself awake and thus Fran… I dreamt that I was covered in roaches! Ewww, it was so disgusting! What does that mean?
Then I was antsy, so I couldn’t go back to sleep. Sweet Fran humored me and we stayed up talking. I think she was trying […]
Whoa oh Grandpa…
Somewhat sappy, I admit, but every single time I hear the Judds sing Grandpa, it brings tears to my eyes. Yesterday, March 7, was my Grandpa’s birthday. He would have been 84 years old. He passed October 9, 2003. Today we celebrate him with a family breakfast at my mom’s house. Complete with pancakes, sausage, breakfast casserole (Sorry, mom! Not so […]

Yes, I know, I know. This was a “funeral trip”, but we did manage to fit fun in previously. I do not take death lightly, but as Tio Mark and Tia Eve often say before they serve at a funeral service, “You can’t have a funeral without ‘fun’!” I do believe death is both a […]

Today, we lazed about; nothing exciting. My cousin Paul and his 8 year old daughter Journey were going to take us back to Disneyland, but it was another rainy, icky morning, so I decided against it. I know, I am drag. But Elijah’s congestion was getting worse, I was exhausted, Papa was exhausted and I […]

Today was Elijah’s first trip to Disneyland. I think, it’s just a hunch, but I think I was a bit more excited than he was Our cousins Richard, Paul, Journey, Gabriel, Teri, and Nicholas were our guides.
It was bit of an icky day. A tad humid (not as much as San Antonio), raining, and […]
Aisle E
Sometimes we joke when Elijah has a dirty diaper or after a super messy self-feeding (usually spaghetti), and walk or run through the house, chanting, “Clean up on Aisle E! I repeat! We have a clean up on Aisle E!” Elijah, appreciating our sense of humor, just cracks up!
It was about three weeks ago that […]
Where did the Baby go?
It seems to me that over the last few days, specifically since Sunday, Elijah has just grown like a weed! May be it was his 3 hour nap or his 3 hour night. These do not come by easily! He seems sooo much taller and fuller. It’s really incredible! When Elijah was sitting in his […]

Last night after I played on the internet for hours on end, I couldn’t fall asleep. My brain was wired. I lay in bed thinking and for some odd reason, a memory popped up in my head. The story absolutely breaks my father’s heart.
I remember we were sitting on the bar stools at our old house […]
Happy Baking on Fat Tuesday’s Eve
Mmmm, I love baking! If it wouldn’t drain any and all free time that I have with my family, I would ah-love to start a bakery. This is dream job #1. Or #2 - it depends what day it is. Today, it’s #1. Anyhow, I did some light baking during the holidays, but not enough to whet my appetite. So […]

Alright - I totally admit this is a somewhat boring post, but now that I am thinking about it, it’s gotta be documented for me. So to make a long, long story short - we had quite an adventure and made it home safely! And we are still wondering where our land is!
It […]
10 acres
I think it was Christmas time 2004 and Fran gave me a call at work, saying that she had found 10 acres of land in west Texas for auction on the internet at a great price: $2000. I was a bit leary, but Fran was oh so excited. Immediately, I wondered if it was legit, but she assured me […]

Life’s too short not to laugh and we laugh a lot! It’s that good laugh that comes from deep within your belly and makes your sides and throat hurt, hacking for breath. We poke fun at each other and not in a bad way. We both can take it and we know when to stop. So remember the […]

I’m still here at work and probably will be for a while, so something just quick that popped into my head earlier today…
I’m not a big drinker at all. Perhaps one margarita a month, if that. And half way through my lips are numb, the room seems to spin slowly and I am just sitting there, […]
Sporks
On our morning jaunt at the Lake this morning, I spotted a white plastic spork lying in the street. Ahhh, sporks - there’s something nostalgic about sporks but I can’t figure out just what. Oddly enough, tt seems that sporks spur feelings of comfort and security. My first encounter with a spork was kindergarten, a HUGE adjustment time. I absolutely HATED kindergarten. I hated school. […]
