Living at 1400 (or so) feet, we don’t often get snow here. Last year we had one really low snow that gave us a dusting that melted almost as quickly as it came.
Sunday evening though, a storm came through that dropped snow as low as Sacramento. We got about 4 inches. The kids got off [...]
Sarah came across something this morning that demands sharing. And ridiculing.
There is a company that sells these little elf dolls that you put around your house at Christmas time. Here’s a picture:
Looks cute enough right? The creepy thing is that you’re supposed to put this thing in your house and then tell your kids [...]
We had a really great Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad. The kids had a blast playing with them and just being around them. So much fun to have them enjoy one another so much. Dad will retire in February (or so) and we’re looking forward to seeing more of them.
On the [...]
Maesie to Mommy: Wednesday is Veterinarian’s Day!
Mommy: I think you mean “Veteran’s Day” – where we honor those who have served in the military
Maesie: Do they serve just our own side, or do they serve both sides?
Mommy: What is it you think is meant by “serving”?

1. You can’t have as much fun with an older dog.
my response:
2. Older dogs are grumpy. They might hurt my kids.
my response:
3. Puppies are cuter.
4. I don’t want my [...]
So much going on, I don’t even know where to start. I’ll have to leave most of it out – just too much for one blog post.
Biggest news? Maesise is 7 today. Wow. Just amazing.
There are some possible answers on the financial horizon. Good advice from a friend led me to talk to the companies [...]
What a refreshing day. Church, home – nothing else. Ahhh.
We needed it too. I spent all day Friday and Saturday down in Sacramento taking my Civil Engineering PE Exam. Friday was 2 4-hour sessions. Saturday was 2 2-1/2 hour sessions. Less time, but more intense because there just was not enough time to do all [...]
Yeesh. I’m a horrible blogger. Too much in my head these days – it’s hard to find some place for the blog. I miss it though – and miss the frequency that everyone used to blog with. Probably a lot of that is going into Facebook, but since I gave up on Facebook a few [...]
