We are busy!

When we are not running around enjoying the beautiful spring weather, my eyes are glued to my computer screen watching the Decorah Bald Eagles. A friend of mine turned me onto this live streaming webcam. 24 hours a day this camera runs showing the intimate life of a pair of mated bald eagles now incubating two eggs. It is addictive to watch these amazing birds.

Bailey also is addicted. Right now, as I type this she is crashed out on the bed, exhausted from keeping an eye on these guys all. I leave it on all day, either I am a nice kitty-mommy to allow her to watch this footage...or I'm tormenting her.


Zane has been working on his swing and here we are today at the driving range with him using his iron. He's doing well and he manages to keep his frustration under control while practicing. This is also a great way for us to help him practice taking turns (a must with a twin sister).

We talk harshly at Lily in this video but please don't judge the harshness in my voice. The driving range was full and she was only a few feet from another person who was swinging clubs. Most guys when swinging their clubs don't check their backswing to see if a two year old is in their way. Having her stay within her boundaries is very serious at the driving range. No one needs a club head to the face.


The kids enjoying their gymnastics class. They are having a ball and although they are the youngest in their class they have the best lines and power out of all their group. Moms have a right to brag you know.

Valentine's Day

Lily thought she would share her chocolate covered fingers which were made from her chocolate covered strawberries.

Pretty snow

What wonderful snow we are having, I love it because it looks so neat and clean. I just don't to think about the sloppy nasty muddy mess that will occur in a few days.
Tonight was the "Daddy Daughter Dance" up at Compass Preschool (where Z&L go to school). Lily got all dolled up in a pretty dress that she must have twirled in a million times. Daddy and Lily danced the night away and came in way past curfew. But it was ok, because Zane and I made excellent use of our vegging on the couch and snuggling to keep warm. I forgot what it's like to not move for a full hour. Is that what having only one child is like?

Wait, we live in Dallas right?

Lily loved the snow!

Until it touched her.

Zane still working on his swing, if only I could get him to switch his grip!

He just wouldn't do a snow angel.

Lily all dressed up.

And practicing her "I don't hear you" maneuver.

Dad said he was a little nervous, he hadn't been on a first date in a long time.

So they broke the ice by playing some PS3.

Cabin Fever is setting in

I spent over an hour playing with Moon Dough, without the children. Like my farm?

Artic Blast

Lily pointing out the finer aspects of the snow

Yo mama! It's cold out here!

I'm still in my jammies!

He liked that he could see the ball really well against the snow backdrop.

I think this is the point the "fun" of snow was wearing off.

Through rain and sleet and snow and ice, Zane will continue to work on his golf game.
