Despite the lingering sniffles and coughs (which the boys graciously shared with their cousins) we had another wonderful Christmas. We were up by seven, and the presents were unwrapped in mere minutes. There were a few blips this year…. the remote control garbage truck that Mike had to tinker with for an hour just to …

5 days till Christmas
5 days till Christmas and all through the houseNo one is healthy, not even a mouse Actually that’s not true. I’m pretty healthy, and the rats are pretty healthy.

Things evolve. This year, the kids wore old shorts and t-shirts (except for Everett, …

Fall in AZ
It’s fall in Arizona, and I’ve decided it’s arguably the most perfect weather I’ve ever experienced. It’s still usually warm enough to wear shorts if you’re so inclined, but not too hot for jeans if they’re your preference. It’s warm and sunny and breezy and dry. We went to the Fall Harvest Party with the …
