Grandparents Day

-
We've had some serious winter weather for San Marcos the last few weeks. This week we had school delays yesterday and today along with snow, sleet and lots of ice. This morning was grandparents day at the kids' school which is a Big Deal. They send out fancy invitations and it's a half day of school and the kids present projects that they have been working on for months.
We were very afraid that Grandparents day would be cancelled, but we just managed to make it happen though my dad thought we were all crazy for venturing out into that weather. It was icy and the grandparents scurried from one heated room to another, but the kids were super proud and so were the grandparents. Davis and his dad built a cub mobile for his project and the kids at the school thought it was awesome. Samuel displayed his rock collection for his project and that was a hit too. All the grades did recitation during the grandparents program and I enjoyed getting to show Martha, Clark and mom and dad all around their school.
After the program, we all went to lunch at the volcano restaurant (Kobe steakhouse) and the kids loved it and we all had such a nice time. Michael had to work from home, but I took lots of videos and this day was about the grandparents anyway.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
