I Can’t Complain

Nor should I, right? While trying to get a “smile for me” photo out of the boys is near impossible, now and then, I manage to get something that looks decent. These were taken yesterday while the boys most patiently waited for us to be seated at Kerbey Lane Cafe.
Mind you, it was just after [...]

Yellow

I may have to revise my feelings regarding yellow. I wasn’t at all a fan in any way, shape or form. Haha! I said “form” about a color.
It’s after midnight, excuse the weird humor.
But anyway. When we went to Famous Footwear last week, I tried on a pair of yellow flip flops. I liked! I [...]

Museum Day

So, since I felt like we were in a school rut (maybe you homeschoolers know what I mean), I decided it would be a good day to take the boys out to see a museum or two.
I’d been wanting to visit the Bob Bullock museum of Texas history for a good, long while. Unfortunately, we [...]

Last Saturday

I forgot to blog it, I know it’s late.
But last Saturday our boys spent the night with friends. Apparently they had fun sleeping in a room full of other boys. They were pretty tired the next day and both were caught staring into space a few times. But I got so many hugs! It was [...]

The clouds here in Central Texas have been amazing lately. But their beauty only reveals the creativity and love of their Maker.

Yes, this was dinner last night. It. Was. AMAZING.
My hubby has gotten pretty good at wielding a pair of tongs and working his barbecue.
You don’t want me to tell you what it was like because it was too yummy. But I will anyway.
The corn, red onion and red bell pepper were grilled [...]

Shopping

Yesterday, the kids each got a little reward (cold, hard cash!) for completing some workbooks. We headed to Target for J who didn’t take long to pick out what he was getting: Lego Powerminers Crystal King set. No chance for mom to pull out the camera for him.
NM wanted to go to the sporting goods [...]

Road Trip!

This post is a bit heavy on the photos…just so’s you know. They’re tiny so that it makes you want to go look at the bigger versions over here on Flickr.
Fall is looming—again—and so hubby was feeling the impending loss of our free Saturdays. Loss? To soccer games, of course. He decided he would skip [...]

There’s more peacock drama here.
Hubby’s laptop died today. IBM can’t make it out until tomorrow so his work’s loss was our gain. DAY OFF!
We headed up to Mayfield Park where we’d hoped to spend the morning this past Saturday. Unfortunately, they didn’t allow dogs so we headed with Sprocket [...]

It reminded my sister of a crown of thorns. I agree.
O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine.
