I can’t believe he’s five years old. This one… he has been our hard to handle baby and grown into such a FUN boy. Just to give you a peek into life with Lowell as a baby, here’s a day in June 2008. He was 16 months old…
Happy Birthday little man. I’m glad [...]
We got in late last night from a weekend trip up to the DFW area. It used to take us 4 hours max. to drive there. Now that Korben is potty trained, it’s closer to a 5 hour drive. Dude won’t tell us (and I’m constantly asking, btw) when he needs to go until it’s [...]

Not really a series this week, this Five on Friday is simply a collection of life around here.

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m off to James’ school for a wedding… Q and U are getting hitched.
We had a rough week with the stomach bug attacking our family. When David came down with it, we quarantined him and I *think* that was the end of it. When the little guy fell asleep on Friday afternoon, I was still on high alert and thought maybe it was a good thing to let [...]
Okay, maybe it was more like 4 minutes of snow… Here’s me running around like a crazy person taking video instead of helping to get the boys ready to play in it. Needless to say, it turned into rain by the time they were dressed and got their shoes on.
I made the comment [...]
You know the saying… if the shoe fits, wear it. What if it doesn’t fit? Do you still walk around trying to make it work?
Yes, I’m guilty of oft changing my business blog/logo/look/whatever, it’s true, but none of those shoes I’ve tried on have fit and they’ve rubbed me the wrong way, leaving [...]
I love how his hair sticks up somewhere all the time. Lowell is growing up so quickly. They love playing [...]
James was really really sick on Tuesday. I was worried we would have to take him to a clinic for dehydration because he couldn’t keep anything down, but he woke up this morning feeling fine and was bouncing around the house like a clown. James didn’t miss [...]
He doesn’t like me to take his picture. He’s still got the chubby wrists and baby fingers. His head is the squarest little noggin’ I’ve ever seen on someone. You need a translator to understand what he’s asking for. We have an entire tub of duplos but he [...]
Disclaimer: Since I’m on a roll blogging trips I was blessed with in 2011 – which is more than we’ve ever had in a single year for all twelve years of our marriage – I thought I should go ahead and blog the Chicago pics, too, to get those out of my system all at [...]

After staying on Oahu for the better part of a week, we packed up and flew from Honolulu to Hilo. The differences were amazing. The coqui frogs are LOUD! Hilo was not nearly as touristy as Honolulu! [...]
