We got Oscar’s hair cut for the first time when he was just under two years old. We tend to make bald babies over here and it just takes that long to need a trim. The same was true with Calvin, and then some. He turned two in July and we just got his first …
This summer has been really good but it’s starting to feel a leeeeetle bit long to me. We’ve had a great time doing a lot of fun things like going to movies, spending time with out-of-town family, swimming at the pool, celebrating birthdays and of course eating lots of good food.That said, there is a …
Oscar’s last day of Preschool was May 22, which means we have been celebrating “Summer” for almost 6 weeks already. I can’t believe some schools around the country are just letting out! It’s seriously blowing my mind. At any rate, in the past month we have made some great memories. Oscar has a week of …
It’s the thighs. Last year when we visited the NC aquarium, we were 2 inches of glass away from a terrifying alligator that wanted to eat my baby. I’m not kidding. When Calvin flashed his barely one year old baby thighs, I swear that gator perked right up and in his best Cajun voice was all, pass …

Last week we threw caution to the wind for the second night in a row and decided to blow off bedtime. We took the boys downtown and armed with decaf and chocolate chip cookies, made our way to the Capitol Building for the annual Christmas Tree lighting. We had a great time and I plan …
I feel like I am traveling at warp speed right now, yet I am not getting nearly enough done! Of course the whole idea of “enough” is subjective depending on the time of day and amount of coffee consumed. It’s hard to believe that the first week of October is behind us, but as I …
This weekend was all about family. I am really trying hard to structure my week like a typical work-week. It takes a little creative math and a lot of planning ahead. But if it continues to lead to weekends like this one, then it will be well worth the effort! We had a great time …
Jerry and I try to go on dates when we can. However, we are pretty forgetful when it comes to planning a sitter ahead of time so it doesn’t happen as often as we like. And when we do go out, we tend to just go to dinner or something that only takes an hour …
