Though it's been a crazy year and there has been so much to tell, I'm going to skip straight ahead to yesterday.  Rather than explaining the fun we had this summer with a cross country road trip through Tennessee ending in Pennsylvania, Gray's first day of school, splitting his head open on the playground at a playdate, Park getting drafted ( Read more... )

   This lovely Saturday morning has started out swimmingly.  The kids slept through the night which means "I" slept through the night.   We are all battleing head colds and Gray has a pretty nice cough.  Gray woke up coughing his adorable little brains out the night before so it was nice he slept through last night.  Most mornings are full of ( Read more... )

     Happy Mother's day all!  I am posting to you from my mother's day present, a brand new netbook!!  Yay!  My husband consulted my incredibly smart sister and he picked out a nice little black number that I love!  Our computer is old and kind of busted so the netbook is the perfect thing!  Also, the fact that to get online I don't have to be in ( Read more... )

     Shawn was off this past weekend and it was great to spend two whole days together as a family.  Saturday we spent the afternoon installing ceiling fans on the patio at Shawn's restaurant.  The boys played and ran around the patio while we did the work.  He has done a lot of renovating and it's going to look great when it's done.  Here it is ( Read more... )

     Who's the worst at posting? It's me. It would appear I only post when we're moving... Guess what?! No, no, no. Just kidding. We are settled in nicely here in San Antonio. The house we are renting is working out great, all things considered. There were a few things that didn't work when we moved in, currently out a/c is out. It's only been a ( Read more... )

We are moving again. Shawn's old employer made him an offer we couldn't turn down. Just over a month from now we'll be moving to San Antonio, TX. We are really excited though. I think San Antonio is going to be a fun city to live in, and it's close to Austin and Houston. It's going to be a great oppertunity for Shawn as well. He's never had a ( Read more... )

    We left texas 11 days ago, and it feels like an eternity ago. My mom aws gracious enough to come out a few days before and help me with the move. The movers came on the 20th and loaded the truck, we stayed in a hotel that night, and left the next day. Shawn flew out that morning from El Paso to Dallas. We picked him up at the airport and he ( Read more... )

     WIth so much sitting in front of me over the next week I am having a very hard time sitting still.  I have 90% of the house packed, and would LOVE to just be done, but unfortunately we will need the stuff that is not yet in boxes.  I am trying to get every last thing done I can before my mom gets here on Wednesday.  I want a little time to ( Read more... )

Here are some pics from the last few months, kinda slacking on the picture taking. 
Gray's preschool had Diversity Day where the celebrate the culteral diversity of the students.  The kids were asked to dress up and bring a flag for the "Parade of Nations."  Since the largest portion of Gray's heritage is Italian, I made him a little chef hat and ( Read more... )

    Last time we alluded to "new possibilities" and here they are!  Shawn accepted an offer to be the General Manager for Applebee's in Clovis, New Mexico!  It's a great position for him with a lot more potential than his previous spot at Spaghetti Warehouse.  It was hard decision to make, as he really did love his job with Spaghetti Warehouse, but ( Read more... )
