Easter Festivities [Farmington]
The biggest Easter event was the office picnic, but there were a few other items of note. First egg decorating on Saturday evening. (Speed was off with a friend at an FC Dallas game–so more eggs for everyone else.) When … Continue reading
The Office Easter Picnic [Holidays]
You might have noticed that last weekend was Easter weekend. We sure did. On Saturday, we attended the annual office Easter picnic (see recaps of 2005, 2006, and 2007). We are getting a bit smarter about the caricatures now that we’ve … Continue reading
Valentine’s Truth [Funny]
So Valentine’s Day has come and gone. As has become our family tradition, we devoured chocolate fondue. Sadly, no one made a mess, so there was nothing to capture on film. Even prior to our fondue, the kids did the … Continue reading

Last weekend, we all headed down to Houston to have Christmas at my parents. Unfortunately for story-telling purposes, nothing went to horribly wrong. On Saturday, the entire fourteen person crew had lunch at Asian City–where else might one have a … Continue reading
Christmas Prep In Full Swing [Farmington]
Mercifully, we’ve had a bit of a lull around the house since Thanksgiving. I’ve spent very little of that time being productive. Holly, on the other hand, has been busy. She actually got decorations out right after Thanksgiving, and we … Continue reading
