Per my previous post, I’m underwater with end-of-semester deadlines. Lucky for me, our neighbors rock. Our neighbor, Josh, offered to take his son, Austin, and Walt to a hiking trail on Sunday morning. I saw a window of opportunity to sit on the couch and catch up on dvr’d shows start a 15-page term paper….

Happy Halloween!
What a different a year makes! Halloween at almost 2 years old is a totally different ballgame from Halloween at almost 10 months. It’s WAY more fun! Since I already gave you the background on the costume, I’ll dive right in to Halloween festivities. It’s important to note (not really sure why it’s important, but…
Halloween Party!
This year, Halloween has been so much more involved. I love it! Chris and I thought long and hard about Walt’s costume. Knowing very well that our years of dictating costumes are numbered, we figured we’d continue our brainwashing. We agreed that Walt should be a sportsplayer of some sort, and quickly picked football player…
Show Me Your Funny Face
As working parents (and parents with not exactly the same schedule… there’s lots of handing off in our house), we communicate a lot with our phones. No, of course we don’t talk on our phones. Do people do that?? We text and send pics and videos of the Munka man. However, we started seeing a…
Yamboree 2012
The annual Gilmer Yamboree has become such a cherished tradition in our life. Chris grew up in Gilmer, which has been hosting the Yamboree festival for the past 75 years. It’s a pretty big deal. The kids get out of school for a couple days, there’s a pageant, a queen, duchesses, a parade, and of…
School Daze
Walt has been in daycare (we call it school… it feels better) since he was three months old. I can confidentally say it’s actually more school-like these days. Don’t get me wrong, the kiddos spend most of the day playing, but they are definitely learning too. Walt comes home from school saying and knowing more…
State Fair of Texas 2012
With Chris working parttime on the weekends and me juggling school for one last semester, we’ve been hard pressed to find some good family time. We decided to play hooky from work and keep Walt out of school and take a family field trip to the State Fair of Texas. Now I know you’ve been…
The Bruns Pandemic
So, if you read my previous post you know that we’ve had a rough go at health the past few weeks. When I wrote that post I thought, “Wow, this is really crazy. Back-to-back illnesses. What an interesting post.” What I didn’t realize was I was going to get back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back… illnesses. The two illnesses alone…
Sir Coughs-A-Lot Meet Sir-Pukes-A-Lot
I had this blog all mapped in my head to discuss our adventure to Children’s Medical Center ER on Saturday night for a really terrible cough. Then, before I could eek out the details, we had a whole other ailment pop up. For those interested, here’s the saga. We all know that Walt has some…
