My toothbrush can beat up your toothbrush…

January 20, 2008

When we returned home last night, I realized that I had left my toothbrush. I searched the drawer in my bathroom that contains things that I think I need at Target only to come home and realize that I thought that last time and the time before that that has extra supplies only to [...]

Home again, home again, jiggity jig…

January 19, 2008

We are on our way home.

It is so sad to leave. The boys point to things like the winter lighted trees to explain that it is always Christmas here. It does feel like a holiday (only without the stress and need to decorate). They are also convinced that this is where Santa [...]

January 15, 2008

Sunday was my 38th birthday and it was fabulous. I spent the morning skiing (OK, maybe it was fabulous starting AFTER the 3rd run down the hill when I regained my balance–it has been a year). The afternoon was spent helping friends who joined us get settled in and the evening was…well, it went like [...]

Crazy baby destined to become inwilling world traveler…

January 14, 2008

Last time we flew we took crazy baby without a car seat.

This was a serious mistake. I had planned on taking the car seat on the plane with us, but the curbside check-in guy said it would not fit and we needed to check it. I should have realized that his judgement was impaired when [...]
