One Year Ago…

I started blogging!!!  Wow!  I got off to a good start, getting posts on fairly often, yet lately time seems to be vanishing before I my eyes.  Life is still full of adventures.  Boys are crazy as always.  There is never a dull moment…  Maybe that is the problem!  I need a few dull moments so that I am not too tired to get posts put together.  =)  Regardless, I will do my absolute best to get some updates on here a bit more often.

We have spent a lot of time inside recently.  I think I am getting wimpy in my older more mature days.  I can’t stand to be out in the cold and wind.  Give me snow, and I am all for it.  But cold, brown, gray, dreary days of winter?  Nevermind, I will sit inside the warmth of my cozy abode sipping hot tea and watching the boys play. 

I got a new camera.  Intentions are to have it with me to take more pictures and even video when we are on the go.  The first couple of times it would have been handy to have, it was left on the computer cabinet.  Fail!  This will take some getting used to.  Never fear, it has been getting broken in around the house.  Check out my fabulous new camera.

Not exactly what I envisioned my new camera getting used for, but it kept the boys occupied for a good bit.  I am sure that this could just be the start of many train cam/pedal car cam/bike cam/kite cam/etc. ideas to come.  Must get cheaper little key fob cam for Ross soon!!!!!

See you again soon with more pics from the camera instead one of the camera.

Our Backyard and Beyond

Peaceful Moments…

 

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is upon us.  So much to do, and so little time to get things done.  Time is ticking and my list is growing.  Candy to make, cookies to bake, gifts to be wrapped, family and friends to see…  All to be fit into the daily grind that must go on as well.  The days do get chaotic, yet each day we love to take a few moments and just enjoy a little bit of serenity with our crew.  Just sit and relax on the couch, look at the lights and ornaments on the tree, slowly start winding up for the day ahead.  It is so much better than the rush to get rolling!  Won’t you take some time for some holiday peacefulness in your day too?

Shiver Me Timbers!

Arrrrgh! All Ye landlubbers, bewares!  The backyard pirates are here!   We be guardin’ our parade candy treasure that we raked in o’er the weekend.  Need to get that map made so we can go back for more next year!  Our matey’s had a great time las’ weekend.  It was a time of much merriement, many family and friends, and good grub and grog.  Too bad it had to end.  Arggggh!  We will have to sail again soon for another gatherin’ of such proportions.  

 

In the meantime, Captain B and crew want you to schmile and say arrrgh in the comments, or ye will be walking the plank.  (If we can find our trusty ship.)
