Cutting the Tether…

March 17, 2010 in computers | No comments

Haha, this isn’t a post about raising children.  It’s a post about me cutting the proverbial computer/PC tether to the back room/office.  I bought, and I’m currently typing on, a brand new netbook.  Pretty cool one too, for a budget model.  Actually, aside from Bluetooth, I’m not sure what this can’t do that other netbooks can.  It’s an Acer Aspire One 532h-2588 and its a tiny little thing that is the best bet to get me back into the posting, emailing, and in general, the electronic world.  So far so good, ’cause I’m typing this, right?

Right.  Good night.

Woohoo!

September 2, 2009 in photos, twins | No comments

Ok, it’s been a long long Summer.

Julie has been gone for 8 weeks at her Captains Career Course at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio. She finally comes home in a week, but tomorrow I’m flying to see her for a long Labor Day weekend (hence the title of this post). I’m so excited for a much needed, and dare I say, deserved alone time.

The boys and I have done fine while Julie has been away. It goes without saying we miss her a lot and we’re ready for her to be home so we can get back to normal. As normal as it can get with two rambunctious 28 month old boys in the house, anyway!

Tank & Tuck have embraced the thrill of being 2 with serious enthusiasm. While we *try* to refer to this as the “terrific” twos, we all know there’s another word beginning with a “T” that probably more aptly applies. Grammy & Papa have been a huge help this Summer (THANK YOU!) and everything has gone swell. They are truly wonderful little boys!

I’m posting this from my iPhone so I’ll end it here. Been a while, for some obvious reasons, but I’ll post again soon.

From my iPhone…

At last, Spring!

May 15, 2009 in Birthday, Ft. Leonard Wood, Grandparents, family, twins | No comments

After starting to really believe it would never come, Spring has sprung around here, complete with wonderful thunderstorms and not so wonderful tornadoes. The grass is growing, the trees are leafing, and the birds are singing. And not a moment too soon either.

The birthday trio (Julie, Tanner, and Tucker) had a great celebration on their special day and so far they really enjoy being two… uh, the boys, not Julie of course. Grammy and Papa are in the area for the Summer now enjoying time with the boys, me included.

The boys’ new favorite thing to do: throw rocks… into rivers, lakes, puddles… anything with water in it really.
