Yuck
When my kids are grown and invite me over for dinner, I must be sure to say “Yuck. This is yucky. I like the noodles but not the sauce. Why is there onions in this? It’s too spicy. How much do I have to eat before I can have dessert?” and various other sayings that […]
Avatar, the Last Airbender
We’ve been watching the Avatar: The Last Airbender series with Adrianna. It’s been a fun evening activity after the little girls go to bed.
Las Vegas
Greg and I aren’t fond of making decisions or having to plan things, so when our vacation plans to Phoenix (to visit family) fell through on the evening before we were to leave, we weren’t sure what to do. I was stressed about having to make new plans. So we came up with the idea […]
Carmel-by-the-Sea
Our road trip brought us to the Pacific Ocean, where the girls enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the mesmerizing waves. It was a bit chilly, but our time on the beach was still a highlight of our trip. This was Cate’s first time seeing the Pacific Ocean. She would giggle with glee as […]
Yosemite
We spent an afternoon in Yosemite National Park. Parking was awful, but once we found a spot, we enjoyed a leisurely hike along a river, taking in the sights. El Capitan was truly magnificent!
Moab
We stayed the night with Greg’s former coworker from his Sun Microsystems days, Andrew, and his family at their home in Moab, Utah. The first day we were there, they took us to Dead Horse Canyon. (We didn’t tell Bree what the name of the place was.) While we were there, we heard a rumbling […]
Baby Robins
Today’s excitement has been the discovery of our three baby robins learning how to fly. The unfortunate part is all three have ended up in our window wells and cannot fly high enough yet to get out. Each are in a different window well. Thankfully, the Momma bird is still bringing food to at least […]

Track Meet
Yesterday’s Track Meet. Adrianna tried the high jump for the first time and got 2nd place. She got 2nd place in the baseball throw. She ran the 200m dash against all boys and got 3rd place. She worked hard for it; I am so proud of her. She is really enjoying this CARA track program.
