Sara's Musings

Well, we knew the snow wouldn’t last! This morning was cold and clear, absolutely no snow left to look at. We opened presents. We ate Christmas dinner and enjoyed all the family time. The kids received, as anyone could have predicted, a lot of new toys. Connor was especially thrilled with 2 new large Imaginext […]

Well, my washer and dryer were finally delivered! Sears had informed me that the delivery would be made between 5 and 7 p.m. tonight. The delivery truck came at 6:45! The guys attached the pedestals to the machines outside on the street, then wheeled them around the very long driveway to the back door. We […]

The snow has been lightly falling off and on all day. It is just thick enough to allow footprints to show (maybe 1/2 to 1 inch). I took photos with the digital camera of the wooden bridge to the street, the slide, and the garbage can (of all things :) to remember what the small […]

We actually have snow flurries outside at this very minute!! Predictions are that the snow won’t last, but WOW! I only remember “snow” in Houston a handful of times in my lifetime. How awesome that my kids get to experience snow in Houston!

We went to the zoo tonight, as it was the very last night for the Winter Wild activities. It was bitterly cold tonight, in the 30s I believe. We tried to bundle up the kids as best as we could. This year all the activities were going on in the children’s zoo area, mostly outdoors. […]

We bought a new vehicle today!  A 2005 Ford Escape Limited, black exterior with black leather Interior. This baby is SLICK! We looked at some base models, then this one, at a few more in-between models, this one again, a few more, then back to this one.  The great impression we had of this SUV […]

I haven’t posted anything in 6 days. So much has happened. . . There’s an old saying that bad things happen in threes. . .  We have experienced waves of three bad events several times over the years.  We just ride the wave out until it is gone.  Just what we’re doing now, except now […]

Today was my beautiful girl’s 1st birthday! The day, of course, was like any other day, sleep, eat, play, repeat, etc.  Tonight, we had a nice family dinner with the four of us, Nana and Papa and Uncle Scott. Sionna received a “Love to Walk Baby Pooh” from Uncle Steve and Aunt Nikki.  From Mama […]

We joined the Best Buy/Rhapsody music service a couple of weeks ago. It’s great to be able to listen to music which I wouldn’t necessarily buy at the cd store.  I can choose an artist and find similar music to see what I like. Right now, I’m listening to N.E.R.D. – the baby really gets […]

Went to the dreaded laundromat this afternoon – a 2.5 hour ordeal that I’ll probably have to repeat at least twice before the new washer arrives. 3 loads of laundry – $9 to wash, $2.25 to dry – that’s going to add up over the next couple of weeks. Unless Steve fixes the old washer […]
