365 Project: Is your arm all better?

Jonah had his plaster cast removed yesterday. And while his arm IS improving, what followed was a complete disaster of medical care that was anything but good or personalized. 10 years ago Taryn broke her forearm and we had a fantastic experience with Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin. The care has drastically gone downhill since then and we are so relieved that we can go seek healthcare elsewhere. Never again, Dell.

When his cast was removed we washed his arm and Z noticed Jonah kept rubbing and touching it. He jumped up and ran his fingers across his arm for quite awhile and asked him if […]

365 Project: The birder and the hiker

Jude dragged us to a nearby Audubon Center today. It was early, cold and wet but we were all good sports. We brought along our Osprey hiking backpack for Z but he didn’t even need it. I feel like he’s turned a corner with hiking and wants to do it all on his own instead of going along for the ride. Jason wore it empty all morning. I’m sure we will still use it on the road on more dangerous hikes, but it’s nice to have him tackling some hikes on his own! He’s getting so big!

10 on Tuesday

1. We spent the boys birthdays at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. I’ll dedicate a different blog post to our adventures but I have say now, we loved it so much!

2. We also did a safari drive at Fossil Rim in Glen Rose. Random fact about the Emu, they have zero respect for personal space. While I was looking at one on the drivers side I forgot my window was rolled down behind me. I felt watched and turned around. Close range. Birds are not my thing! Also, automatic windows do NOT go up fast enough! […]

365 Project: Fajita week

Fajita week should totally be a thing. This is the 2nd time we have had fajitas in the last week and we totally cooked enough for tonight plus at least 2 more meals. That brings our fajita consumption to 4 meals lol. Don’t judge, they are soooooo good cooked on our blackstone grill with lime, onions and green, red, yellow and orange peppers. Served with avocado, black beans, violife vegan cheese on warm siete brand tortillas. Yum!

365 Project: Z what do you see?

He stood in this spot looking out for a good long while. I finally got up and grabbed my camera to snap a few. Once I got close I asked him, “Z what do you see?”

“AHHH! I SEE A SISSY!!!!”

HA! She snuck up on us – we had no idea she was there!
