I had promised the girls we would take them to see Kung Fu Panda 2 when it came out, even though I knew it was close to my due date. Since Benz decided to come a little early, we thought we would brave it and take him along too! Ok, so this might put me [...]

In the Mountains: Memorial Weekend Fun.
You remember every summer we head to the mountains with the family? We have been going every year since I was a kid…that makes for many, many years. I feel very fortunate that we are so close to one of the most visited national parks in the country. People come here to camp, to tube, [...]
Louise runs a 5K with Girls on the Run!!
Louise often runs with her Daddy and wanted to join a running group. Dick found one called Girls on the Run. So, for about 8 weeks or so, Louise had been going twice a week to practice. At the end of that term, they were to run a 5K…which is a little over 3 miles!! Three miles!!! I’m [...]
Off to Gotham City for Business and Pleasure.
It’s off to Gotham City for yet another trip of business AND pleasure. It’s always like that for us. There’s always work to be done but there’s also room for PLAY. You remember the girls’s friends who stayed with us for a few days and didn’t want to leave? Well, it was their birthday so we [...]
Jane and Dick celebrate 15 years together! How we met and how I hit the “jackpot”.
Fifteen years ago, I meet Dick at an International Party at a nightclub. Yes, a nightclub. I broke at least one if not several of “The Rules” from that dating book written by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider by accepting to go on a date with him the very next day. Plus, I’m pretty sure [...]
Biking and Hill-Climbing Preggar.
The other day, we were blessed with unseasonable warm weather for this time of the year so we decided to take our bikes out and enjoy it! Plus, we had to go get some groceries. The hill next to our house was still iced over in parts so we had to be super careful. Dick’s [...]
The Royal Vietnamese: Lucy, Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.
Lucy sent me pics of her and my parents visiting a Royal Palace in Vietnam where they got all dressed up in the Royal Garb from back in the day. They looked so cute I just had to edit them and post them for you to see. I get to live vicariously through them you [...]
Huge fluffy snowflakes hit Metropolis!
Out of nowhere and unexpectedly, Metropolis was hit with a HUGE, FLUFFY snow. The girls were so excited since we missed the big snow last year. Snowflakes the size of half-dollar coins were falling down on us like drops from Heaven. Not a great picture but this is the view when you look up. It [...]
New beds for the girls. Finally!
Dick brings in the platforms and we see just how well we measured them. Dick plops in the platform and it fits PERFECTLY. Thelma immediately sets up her bed.
Home Depot to get the platforms for our beds.
First thing in the morning after Thelma opened her eyes was, can we go to Home Depot now? So, we skip breakfast and head out the door, despite snowy weather. The girls are determined to get their beds. Dick and I decided, who needs SLATS anyway. Why not just a flat platform, which provides better support anyway! [...]
