Back to school

School is back in session and with that, the daily routine of getting ready in the morning. But this time, I have to wake up another sleeping body... Andrew. He starts Kindergarten this year! So I was a little sad to see him go to class... but it will probably be the saddest once I send Tyson off to school. But no, I won't cry. My heart is too cold. (That was for Lynn.)

Fantasy life (College Station, TX)

It's not what you think... it's the title of Matthew Berry's new book Fantasy Life. Unless you're a hardcore fantasy football player, you probably don't know who he is. If that's the case, it's probably likely you don't know what fantasy football is either. He's a writer for ESPN who specializes in all things fantasy related but that's not why I like him. He's a funny guy. I love his writing style, which makes reading boring stats enjoyable.

Guess who turned two?

Summer family vacation (SoCal)

Last week (Sunday - Friday) we were in Southern California. When I say we, I mean everyone. All three boys included. And it was the first time any of the kids flew on an airplane so that was something new for all of us. It was pretty stressful, mainly worrying about every aspect relating to the kids (Are they hungry? Tired? Need to poo or pee?), but overall it was doable. Just exhausting.

Greetings from Southern California

"Welcome to the 21st century, dad."

If you know my parents, they are the least tech savvy people in the world. The only other people worse than my parents are those tribesmen living in the Amazon rainforest. It's bad. I tried to teach them the basics of using a computer to get on the internet but that didn't go far. But I think my dad is more willing or grasps technology better than my mom. He boasts that he knows how to use a touch screen navigation system on his boat. Bravo dad, bravo.
