  • December 2023

    December! Gotta finish this so I can do my year-end recap, which in retrospect seems kind of silly after writing the monthly recaps but whatever. The boys turned 16! They had friends over a couple of nights before, and we went to the bonfire, as usual. We had steaks for dinner on their actual birthday.…

  • November recap

    Oops, I forgot to do this. My bad. November was kind of slow? I can’t even remember what happened. Not necessarily in this order… I had dinner with Kristie and her sister and Ren! We went to Baton Rouge for the LSU game. I got my hair did. There was soccer. The boys got their…

  • February

    Well, it’s the last day of February and I did vow to write a recap post every month, so here I am. February was mostly Mardi Gras, but some other stuff too. George and I went to lunch for my birthday. I started physical therapy for my back (that will continue through March.) I made…

  • January in review

    How on earth is it still January? I feel like this has been the longest month ever. Started out flying home from the Dominican Republic, and finally getting Ziggy back home. We missed him a lot. He…did not seem to miss us very much at all. I guess he had fun. He was hoarse from…

  • First soccer tournament in a while

    The boys joined a competitive team again, but not the same one they played on a few years ago. They’re probably the youngest players on the team (it’s for kids born in 2006 and 2007 and they’re right at the end of 2007) but they seem to be holding their own. That said, the team…

  • We went to California and here is a post about it

    The boys and I went to California last week to visit my brother and sister-in-law and niece, and I will never be able to spell “niece” right the first time. It was a tough decision to go, after we found out that Molly’s services were being held while we’d be away. She was never far…

  • The boys’ updated room {ta-da!}

    Finally! We are (almost, nearly) finished with the boys’ room makeover. Since there wasn’t going to be on a vacation this summer, I figured, why not spend that money on sometime more tangible. And the boys’ room was ripe for a makeover. The last time I did anything substantial to their room was 7 years…

  • Miles makes the goofiest faces when he’s playing soccer.

  • The boys play for the varsity (7/8 grade) soccer team at school, even though they’re only in 6th grade. And last night their team won the championships! Their team was undefeated, and I’m so proud they were a part of it, and that they played with older (and bigger!) kids, even though they were nervous…

  • What I imagine the kids on the other team are thinking…”wait, there ARE two of them!”

  • I went to a Benfica game with two of my teammates last night. It was fun but nerve wracking. They are the top ranked team and they played the bottom ranked team and were losing for much of the game. Pulled it off and won 2-1, thank goodness. In related news, I think the boys…

  • It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted so I’d better get back to it! I was looking at my blog stats earlier today and I’ve only posted 42 times this year, which is waaaay fewer than any other year since my stats begin. Eek! So let’s see. The boys had their first…
