If you’re reading this and don’t know Rory McIlroy, you probably don’t ever turn on the Golf Channel. That channel is our “background” channel most Saturdays and Sundays in the summer before NFL starts. The reason I didn’t use the world’s most common golfer, Tiger Woods, is I’m not real sure I want to model…

End of Summer
Man, we had a good summer. Walt took swim lessons and can hold his breath for 7+ seconds (not to mention blow bubbles, splash like a maniac, and jump tip of the side of the pool). Walt and I spent quality time every Sat. and Sun morning together while Chris did some work. Walt became…
Summer Play Date!
I realize my time is getting precious. I go back to school this week, and that inevitably is such a time kill for me. Typically Chris is who gets the short end of the stick. I really have to pick and choose my “free” time so carefully between friends, family, and our little threesome. Not…
Is That a Shrimp in your Pocket?
On Saturday, we decided to spend some quality time with some of our new neighbors, The Allen’s. The Allen’s have a little boy, Austin, who is just a month older than Walt. Perfect! I had a stroke of genius and thought the kids would enjoy a dinner at Benihana. It’s entertainment AND dinner all in…
Friends with Kids
Since we’ve had Walt (going on 20 months now, omg), I have been pleasantly surprised by all the new friendships we’ve created. Not just brand new friendships, but new dimensions of existing friendships. It seems like there’s this unspoken bond among parents with children around the same age. Maybe it’s because you “get it” when…
Say My Name, Say My Name…
Walt is turning into a chatterbox. Our favorite thing these days is asking him “What’s your name?” and he answers! Here’s a quick video of some of his words… and not without the precursor to a tantrum, which has become more and more frequent these days. Enjoy!
RIP – Sean Ashford
This is a tough one for me to write. Given that, it’ll likely be short. A little over a week ago, Chris got a phonecall from his best buddy, Jed, that one of his best friend’s was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident. Sean lost control of his motorcycle around midnight on Friday night (July…
Peanut-Free Zone
Last weekend we had an unfortunate (or maybe fortunate??) incident where we discovered Walt is highly allergic to peanuts. Growing up, I was a very severe asthmatic with every allergy under the sun. Since day one, I’ve been worried about Walt’s genetic acquistion of these ailments. Pretty much every time he gets sick, even a…
Do NOT Visit Pure MedSpa in Frisco!
This is not my normal fodder for the blog, but I’m looking for communication vehicles. I’ll make this short and sweet. About a year ago, I purchased one of the gazillion Groupons for laser hair removal. I’m not embarrassed. It’s for my legs. You all will be jealous eventually 🙂 Or, you won’t because my…
Walt is 18 Months!!
Maybe it’s because I did an update for each month during Walt’s first year, but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I have an 18-month old! In a post a while ago, I made a comment that when you are pregnant, you are laser focused on the due…
