Recently the Babydoll and I had an evening at the ballet (my mother also joined us). She has been taking ballet for about 4 years and since we have gotten her into a decent school she is improving and learning more. Her love of dance (not just ballet, but all types – I have to…

Outdoor living
The major remodel/construction project for our family this summer has been trying to establish some type of outdoor living space for our family. At our previous house we had a huge three-tiered deck that had a hot tub a couple of tables and lots of Adirondack chairs that allowed us to entertain outdoors just as…
Cork Vaca: Final Days
This is my last tidbits from our family vacation. The last couple of days of our vacation were really laid back. We hung out on the beach both days (I didn’t take my camera because I really wanted to chill-laxe.) and headed to the room for showers and our other outings around 4 or 5pm. …
Cork Vaca Day 4
On the fourth day of our vacation, we decided to chill out on the beach. We I arose bright and early at 6:30 am to spend some time with God on the patio overlooking the beach. It was so sunny and beautiful and was giving promises that it was going to be a beautiful day. …
Cork Vaca 2012, Day 2 & 3
With me being sick on my birthday, I felt like the next day should be a do over. We got up and had a nice family breakfast (this is why we always try to get a room with a full kitchen…who wants to have to rush getting up just so you can find someplace to…

Chocolate, Peanut Butter, & Caramel
Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope that everyone had a great weekend and President’s Day. Last Friday was Stan’s birthday and my babydoll decided that she didn’t want to have barbecue (Stan had told us all week that was his planned meal for the big day) so she called a cousin to get out of the meal and…
We finally did it
Happy New Year!! The last time I wrote to everyone, I was discussing the “curses” “joys” of housetraining puppies and the relapses associated with them. Well…I’m happy to announce that we are no longer having relapses. In fact the puppy has learned to ring the bell (large jingle bells that we purchased from Garden Ridge…
Puppy relapse
The house training process for our puppy, Sasha Fierce, has been going really good until recently. Sasha is a Standard Schnauzer and therefore when groomed most hair is cut off with the exception of the hair on her legs and her “beard”. When we picked up Sasha, the breeder recommended that we not get her…
