I stepped out of the bathroom momentarily and returned to find Sylvie shaving Will’s back using a toy razor. Where do they learn these things? Neither their dad nor I have hairy backs. Swear.

Post bath, Will gelled his hair slicking it back Fonzi style, then appeared in the kitchen, pajamas in hand, concerned, “But my pjs are going to mess up the hair!”

when it rains, it pours

May 5th, 2009

Following our streak of hot weather, we’re suffering biblical rains. Some of this has been like Houston humidity; some true rain. Yesterday’s rain brought fetid mud puddles to bathe in. Of course, puddles are straight where the kids headed when we arrived home from school. Initially, the kids were fully clothed in jeans and rain […]

A comprehensive list of Farmer’s Markets in Houston, Texas. In case you are in the area and hungry… Then wash it down with these wine winners from the Texas Livestock and Rodeo.

all camped out

April 30th, 2009

We had a windy fun-filled weekend camping at Sonoma State Beach with the kids’ favorite friends – Matthew and Toby. We got off to a rough start arriving at 8:40PM to pitch the tent in the dark, fighting 40mph winds, and ultimately burning a small hole in the tent when the wind pushed it against […]

I love how this guy puts his pants on while brushing his teeth. The second half is instructions for achieving his feats.
