how was your weekend?

-

Over Labor Day weekend we drove to the east side of the state of Washington.

We were at a hotel for the first night. And we were reminded that staying in a hotel room with a baby is never an easy task come bedtime. 

So, since we didn’t care to hide in the tiny bathroom until he fell asleep we waited it out. 

It was a late night. 

The next day we had lofty plans of driving around to visit some of the hundreds of wineries in the area. 

We made it to three.

We spent the rest of the weekend at my Grandmother’s home in Kennewick. 

Hannah loved riding to the pool in the golf cart.

Eli enjoyed watching the action on the golf course.

Hannah is ready for fall. Thanks to Tutu for her new jammies.

Speaking of Tutu, my mom (Tutu) decided to surprise us by driving to Kennewick.

She is a 3-hour drive from my grandmother’s home and thus the last person I expected to see there that weekend. IMG_6468

But, knowing my mom as I do, I should have known better. 

I wish I had taken a few more pictures, especially some with grandma in them.  But we had a great visit and a wonderful time!!

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
