leaving town

We are leaving town this morning to visit with my friend in the dessert.  We will stay the night and come home tomorrow evening.
Excited to do this:
See their new house.
Kids playing.
Lattes.
Walks/hikes.
Mountain air.
Girl talk.
Watch a chick flick.
And if I am lucky my blog might look a little different.

Cleaing the car

It seems like yesterday that she was learning to walk.  Now she is swimming 50 yards and has an excellent breast stroke.  We celebrated with three of her friends and her sisters. They spent the evening at the spa, in our [...]

So tired

I feel like we have a new baby in the house. No, it’s just a puppy. His time clock is a little messed up. He conks out early in the evening and wakes up early.  Really early.  4am early.  Now for someone who usually sleeps until, dare I say it, 9am, getting up at 4 [...]
