Beach-y Keen
Yesterday was the last day of school for Trey, which means that now he’s a third grader. *GULP* We have entered the year of the TAKS test and passed the halfway point for elementary school.

Pigs and Pancakes and Parties, oh my!
Yesterday, I had the insanity privilege of being a chaperone on Trey’s school field trip. The second grade traveled to the Rosewood Center for Family Arts to see the national touring performance of “If You Give a Pig a Party”, a play adapted from the Laura Joffe Numeroff book of the same name. Being the… Continue reading Pigs and Pancakes and Parties, oh my!
Flying Solo
That pretty much sums up this weekend. You see, Matt was on a Men’s Retreat with McFBC folk at Pine Cove in Tyler. They left on Friday afternoon and returned on Sunday afternoon.

I was going to write about how the Mavericks and Rangers both finally won last night, but I know most of my readers a) either know that already, or 2) don’t care about sports.… Continue reading Life…as we know it
Proud of our MVK!
At the end of February I received an exciting email from Trey’s teacher: Trey is the Most Valuable Maverick. He will be receiving his award this Friday at 8:45 at the Mavs Fan Jam. I hope to see you there! After doing a little further research, I determined that this was the “big deal”…the award… Continue reading Proud of our MVK!
March Madness 2008
It’s finally here!! Just pretend it’s last Thursday and be all excited with me! The NCAA basketball tournament has finally begun, and I must admit, there’s really not a more exciting couple of weeks in college sports. I love the first weekend of the tournament, when everyone’s brackets are clean, when optimism is high and… Continue reading March Madness 2008
