After many attempts using different strategies, Alyssa finally got the hang of riding a “two wheeler” as she calls it. She has been balancing on the bike by just coasting with no feet on the pedals for a few weeks. But once Oma got her in the street today, a little push, and she took [...]

Oma visited us this last week and we were so lucky to have her. She entertains, she cooks, she paints, she reads, she teaches us things we never thought we needed to know.

We enjoyed the Williamson County Fair again this year. I am sure we went to the Ft Bend one as kids, but I don’t remember, so this is as fun for me as the kids. Plus both girls are so different than last year, so it was like a new experience. They rode most of [...]

We flew into Houston for spring break last week and will head home tomorrow. It seems there is always someone to see and things to do when we visit that I am not sure we got much rest. But at least I didn’t have to do laundry or dishes, actually had a date with my [...]

Soccer has started again. This time it is a bit more difficult for me. Ethan is usually on one of the two fields coaching and that leaves me with Megan and Audrey. It wouldn’t be too hard if Megan wasn’t the “I hear you, but I am going to continue to walk all the way [...]
