Bed

Tyler is the bed maker in our family. Much to my mother's disappointment, I never really picked up the habit. It is so nice to walk in and find the bed made for me by my husband. He is top-notch. I'm in Paris now and he is home in Washington State. I wonder if he makes the bed when I'm not there. I'm going to pretend he doesn't. Miss you Tyler.

Stick Together

One of the things I love most about Tyler's flight benefits with Delta is taking our children along our travels. Yes, they're too young to remember most of the trip. Yes, someone (or several someones) may throw up in the car. But ultimately I am going to remember these travels. I genuinely enjoy dragging our kiddos along with us for the ride. For our children (but Mack and Hank especially), seeing Mommy and Daddy excited about something makes them excited about it too. If I tell them that The Tower of London is THE COOLEST place in the word, they believe me! Flossie and Wally aren't really buying what we're selling at this point, but they've got some cool pictures out to the deal and it's keeping them out of Chuck E. Cheese. gross

I realize many people out there think we're crazy for taking our kids on 12 hour flights for fun. Many of these same people think I am crazy for taking my 4 children to Target. To these people i would just like to say whatever. Don't knock it till you try it. And if you do try it, let's hang out. I think we could be best friends.

It's Alive

Just got back from Utah. I've been toying with the idea of starting up the old blog again and Kassey gave me the the final nudge I needed to push me over the edge and into action. She pointed out that sometimes I use a 'tone' and if I write things down instead of saying them out-loud they'll come across better... Thanks?

After giving it hardly any thought, I chose to go back to the blog where it all began. Why not. No one else has a voice on this thing, so I'm just going to keep it named after myself. It's going to be by me, and mostly about me(?) and -probably- read by only me. I wish I had known how easy it is to move all my posts onto one blog- I would of done it ages ago.

And one last disclaimer. This probably won't be very good.
