Lego Mania



Matthew is a huge lego fan. He has been able to build things I can't for a few years now. Just recently Nolan has taken an interest and is really getting creative. The other day he made me a giraffe that looked like a giraffe (a lego one anyway). Here is a pic of him with one of his many creations.



Colin's Visit to the Dentist







The Dentist and his staff are always so amazed at how "good" Colin is at the dentist. They are always prepared for a screaming 2-3 year old and he just climbs right up on the table. He had a little trouble this time because his top tooth was hurting (from running into the wall), but he made it through just fine. Nolan is also a good helper. He and Matthew had been to the dentist a couple of weeks earlier. I'll also post a couple of pictures from Valentine's Day parties.

Baseball Boys




O.K. they're sideways. I'll figure this out soon. Anyway, you get the idea.

O.K. Where are my pictures? I uploaded them and the computer told me they were sent here. I'll try again.

Oh - now here it is - of course not the pictures I orignally wanted was just practicing here. Anyway you can see the view from our seats at the Alamo Bowl in January. It was a very odd sensation being in Aggie land with such good seats. We secretly bonded with other undercover Longhorn fans nearby. Marty spotted a longhorn emblem on one fan's phone case and showed him his longhorn watch... When the Aggie kids' whoops were too much for us we headed up to the free food and drinks and hung out there. I'll try again for the boys' baseball pictures.

Attempt to post pictures

Excuse the post below - obviously Marty got ahold of my editing capabilities. I am attempting to post pictures. They boys are really into baseball lately - mostly because they watched "The Sandlot" movie. Every night they want us to go outside and "play ball."

Marty Rules

Yes, he is the best.

Book Reviews

  • A Soft Place to Land - Susan Rebecca White. Any fiction novel which incorporates cooking is usually a favorite of mine. I will definitely be waiting for her next novel. I also love the setting of Georgia with all it's "southerness" and San Francisco with all it's progressiveness.
  • "More Than You Know" by Beth Gutcheon. I loved this book. A little troubling and spooky but a great read. It is set on the coast in Maine - such a different world from mine!
  • Friday Night Knitting Club - loved this one but was upset with the ending. Definitely worth reading if you enjoy stories with strong female bonds and roles. I am looking forward to the sequel.
