Last week wore us all out, but boy did we have fun. It was our last camp of the summer (sniff, sniff). Anna-Laura had the one-hour class, which was just enough time...for both of us.While she learned, John Paul and his buddy Rhys played this game. Throw the ball up on the net and shake it like a crazy person until it comes down. If that doesn't work, just climb on the net!And when that got old, he bugged Clare.John ...

In honor of the brother/sister bond, Daniel and I did a fun thing back in May. You'll have to check it out. It was fun to surprise Mom and Dad for their 37th wedding anniversary! Shannon, the book of pictures was a TOTAL hit with the parentals. Thank you, thank you for helping us celebrate mom and dad's milestone. They were absolutely thrilled. I think they're fighting now over who gets to take the book to the office first :-)Last ...

Nursing Clare, that is. I'm sad. Sad because I don't know if she's my last. Sad because now her nutrients come from HEB and Central Market. It's just hard to think about closing that door, you know.

I love nursing more than I can explain and I'm thankful for the 13 months - even though they went by way ...

Us and the folks over at VH1 had "the best week ever" in Arkansas last week. Really, the many memories we made defy description. There was one night, Wednesday I think, when we were all scarfing down some Italian gelato and Scott looks over at me and says, "Has this just been the best day or what?" Oh man, I wanted to bottle that moment.Every year, around our wedding anniversary, Scott and I have made the trek to a different ...

Today, at exactly 3:32pm, Scott and I celebrate our 12th anniversary. Has it really been 12 years...4 kids, a mortgage payment, 3 major moves, surgeries, hospital visits and countless soccer games...yes, I suppose it has.When we professed those wedding vows 12 years ago, we had no idea (nobody does, really) what to expect. You know, 'cause it's all wedding cake, wedding dress, wedding Mass, wedding, wedding, wedding. You're so caught up in the day, the tears, the joy, the excitement, ...

I'll just let the pictures do the talking...my typing will just ruin the moment.
