We took Walt for his four-year well check today. I was not looking forward to this. I had a ton of anxiety over the shots. I’m not even sure Walt remembers shots! But more on this in a sec. This well check was actually very interesting. In addition to standard height and weight, they tested…
The McClure’s come to Frisco
We have great friends. We’re blessed to have friends all over the world! The problem with that is we don’t get to see all of them as much as we want. The McClure’s live in Tyler, TX. Jeff was Chris’s running buddy forever and was the best man in our wedding. Through Chris and Jeff’s…
Walt is FOUR
Year after year, it’s becoming more and more apparent what a whirlwind the holiday season is. And, it doesn’t end with New Year’s for us. We open a new year and skate right into Walt’s birthday. I always feel bad (emotion used very lightly) because Walt get a crapload of Christmas gifts, followed by an…
Oscar is 18 Months
Another birthday milestone for our littlest guy. These come so fast and furious with the second kiddo. 18 months definitely doesn’t sound like a baby anymore, and Oscar wants you to know that he’s definitely a big boy. He’s really developed a fabulous personality and I sure love all the talking. First things first, here…
Merry Christmas 2014!
I seriously love Christmas. I love giving gifts. I love receiving gifts. And, I sure do love the excitement as the boys come down the stairs in the morning. We didn’t do a super big present this year for the boys. Last year we outdid ourselves with a very realistic kitchen and a bike. It…
Meeting the Big Guy
I had a premonition that we wouldn’t quite get the Kodak moment we got last year. Or did we? Honestly, I had no idea how Oscar would react. The first time Walt met Santa Claus in person he was nearly 3 #parentsoftheyear. Last year, Oscar just stared a hole in Santa. We chose to…
Christmas Caroling
We introduced Walt to a new holiday tradition this year: Caroling! I’ve mentioned before what a super cool neighborhood we live in. It’s a very social neighborhood with tons of kids (young and teenage) and just a super nice group of people. Walt and I bundled up on Saturday night ready to go singing. I…
Cypress Creek Montessori Holiday Program
One of the things I look forward to the most with having kids in day care/preschool are the programs. Cypress Creek Montessori does a end-of-year program (Graduation) in May and a holiday program. Last year’s holiday program was mostly watching a bunch of 2.5 – 3 year olds stand around and bebop to the music….
Thanksgiving 2014 in Gilmer
Chris and I have been together for nine years (!!) and began spending holidays together pretty early on in the relationship. Not sure how we established this, but we began alternating Christmas and Thanksgiving with his family and mine as soon as we began sharing these holidays with each other. It’s been beyond helpful. The…
