Scrub-a-dub-dub
Even when I was really young, bath time was fun. My mom and I would “write” with soap on each other’s backs and the person being written on would have to guess the letter or word. Not only was it great for learning ABC’s, it was also good bonding time and created an early love of water… Continue reading

Safari Fun – Texas Style
Now that the house is getting somewhat assembled, we decided to get out and do something. We went to San Antonio to check out this: We got to see all sorts of creatures – and they came right up to our car door! Hannah said “OOOH OOH OOOH! Mom look!!!” about 5000 times. Jacob laughed at… Continue reading

PCS Like a Four Year Old
I wrote this post a few weeks ago as a submission to another blog. They have passed, so I am posting it here. Sitting in the Navy Lodge smack dab in the midst of house hunting in our new duty station, it would be so easy to have a pity party. I want to have… Continue reading

Insomniac Ramblings
It’s 12:02 a.m. Day 42 of our PCS/nomad existence. I cannot sleep. When I can’t sleep, I write. My thoughts are all over the place tonight. I can’t promise this will turn out coherent. I can’t promise clarity, just some midnight ramblings… Robin Williams I wasn’t alive when Kennedy was shot, but everyone that was knows… Continue reading

Fist Pumps!
I love days where you just want to pump your fist and say, “YEAH! It was a good day!” Today? Meh. We were all crabby today. The novelty of being in the same room (same car) with the same people for 5 weeks has worn off. Having space in our new joint will be a good thing,… Continue reading

Swim Time
Today is not only my daughter’s 4th birthday, but it was also both of the minions’ first day at swim lessons. Having attempted this before, I was crossing my fingers hoping it would go well.
