Soon after heading out of Tahoe, our surroundings began looking familiar. Three hours later we arrived in our “hometown” of Danville and to the home of our good friends David and Carol. They were more than generous (and perhaps a little crazy) to house, feed, and entertain our party of six. Not only did they …
Although it was close…I didn’t actually die from 7 days of no carbs. But I hope to never do that again. My blog has been neglected, this time, because we were out of town We just got in last night. I’m afraid this is going to turn into Travel-Log-Blog this summer with all the trips …

There’s a big water fight at the bus stop with kids, parents, dogs, grandparents, and friends with a barbeque afterward. The official summer …
I’m feeling old. I can’t believe I have a daughter starting high school in the fall. Where does all the time go? I distinctly remember the day, fourteen years ago, when we brought her home from the hospital in all her pink entirety. I was thinking: “Is she really ours?” “Now what?” “What do we …
One can never have too many books I whole-heartedly believe that. I hope my kids’ teachers believe it too because that’s what they’re getting on the last day of school. I spent the second half of this school year teaching art in Erik’s class. It was way more fun than I thought it would be. …

The thrill of climbing that first hill to the exhileration of your body shooting down the steep hills to the …
The boys took off on their annual Father-Son Camp-out on Friday afternoon. Porta-potty and all. Maddy and I enjoyed our “girls only” time and went with some friends to the “big city” to do a little shopping and have a little dinner. We did too much shopping, ate too much food, stayed up too late, …
