Sure, I Look Happy Here

by

Today was Timmy’s first day of preschool at a church up the street from us here in Bellevue. He was great going right into the classroom, picking up his nametag and getting involved in the centers scattered about the room. Then it was time to say “Goodbye”. He became a terrified wreck and it took … Read more

“What a strange number…” Yep. I’m one of the Box Top assistants for my son’s elementary school PTA. Aren’t I Little Miss Involved, huh? This was a good program to get involved in since I have a deployment in early 2009 that would mess up my being a room Mom or a PTA officer. Maybe … Read more

Timmy the Tagger

So here’s the side yard. It’s quite nice. See? There’s an apple tree — and the apples aren’t bad, either. Quite tart, I see a pie in our near future. And here’s Timmy marking up the fence to the right of the apple tree. He did this with some sidewalk chalk, thankfully it’ll wash right … Read more

The car accident on August 2nd didn’t help, either. One might argue that one contributed … Read more

Monkey Joe’s

by

Out of nowhere, about two months ago, a Monkey Joe’s opened in Cary, one of those bouncy house centers.  Incidentally, it’s around the corner from a place called Jumpin’ Beans, the exact same thing. I took Timmy today to meet some of his former preschool classmates and he had a blast!! He was incredibly well-behaved, … Read more

"Look at me! I’m you!"

Yes. That’s what he said when he got into my pile of laundry this morning. I’ll have to upload the other hilarious poses he did when I broke out the camera.

A More Substantial Post

by

Hi friends! Okay, okay, I’m sure you’re growing sick of my super-brief postings about the nitnoid things that I’m doing to prepare the house for the move. Not interesting! Unfortunately, there isn’t too much interesting stuff going on during the week. This week, Jake is in an ice skating camp. It’s crossed my mind to … Read more
