Marc’s parents have been with us for a week or so and we’ve been too busy to entertain them at all. However, with my first-ever derby bout and a travel game to Colorado last weekend and [...]

AN UPDATE: 1. Finances – we have been scrambling to take on and get out as much work as we can as we find ourselves taking on another mortgage (losing a renter and putting your rental property on the market means an immediate loss of income and triple-gain of stress). However, we have faith that [...]

Ack! Where did the week go!? Oh yeah – we got back to work full-time because Mr. No-Tears-H-Blase is loving pre-school!!!! Harrison’s teacher/guide informed us that Harrison is a Montessori kid if she’s ever seen one. I’m not entirely sure what that means.

I have made this photo my desktop background to remind myself that we did indeed have a vacation. It’s easy to forget a thing like that given that I spent a great deal of our three week trip to California shackled to my computer dealing with client “emergencies”.

HELP! Aliens have broken in to our home and stolen all of the adult brains from the premises. At least, that is the only rational explanation I can come up with for what transpired over the weekend. *** Marc and I returned to Austin last week and decided simultaneously that our living room (which for [...]

“Marc, please stop staring at him crying! Go… make him HAPPY!” (Me to Marc after a long day without our Elizabeth. She came down with the flu late last night and left me and the kid to fend for ourselves all day, while Marc worked on the three-thousand items on his to-do list.) H and [...]

There is nothing more rejuvenating for Marc and me then a trip to the movies. Even a day-spa massage brings with it a level of expectation that often times is not met. But, with a movie (at the Drafthouse) I find that even with a sub-par cinematic presentation the experience of sitting in a dark [...]
