Old West Festival 2012
Today we went to one of our favorite local festivals…the Old West Festival. We channeled our inner cowboys/cowgirls and spent the day having an amazing adventure in Dodge City. The kids (and honestly, the adults too…) had a blast. In fact, as we had “dinner” at Kocanut Joe’s Frozen Yogurt tonight Sam said to me...

Peacho de Gallo
A few weeks back we went over to our friends’ house for dinner, and Chris made this amazing salsa and added a peach to it. It was delish! He didn’t use a recipe, so I couldn’t steal it from him. I had to come home and make one up myself. So I started with a...

Henry’s Big Day
Wasn’t it just about five minutes ago that I carried sweet Prince Henry in a wrap snuggled up against me? In fact, this is how I carried him into Sam’s preschool each week, and how I carried him just about everywhere. But somehow, without me even realizing it, Henry has grown up a bit. Just...
Running away from home
We ran away from home this past weekend. If you recall past posts, I’ve talked about how we endeavor to escape from reality every so often to recharge our batteries. It was another idyllic weekend spent escaping the to-do list. Here’s a summary of our weekend, in the form of Facebook status updates (that I...
