A White Christmas (Eve at least)

December 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Winter, who has barbed the South Plains a couple of times this fall, came in with a vengeance Wednesday night. The result Thursday morning was a beautiful blanket of snow over everything. Except for the occasionally howling wind, it was peaceful, quiet, and glorious. Lights from the city bounced off the low clouds and then were reflected off the snow-carpeted streets and yards so that there was luminescence all around even in the dark hours of the morning. Our front yard and driveway are covered with snowAs advertised, the... [Read the full story]

An overdue update!

March 12, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

Well what can I say? This post is way overdue, partially due to my underestimation of the busy nature of married and parental life, my forgetting how to actually get to this area of the site, and general laziness. In the past year, Amy and I have celebrated our first anniversary, our second Christmas as a family, and several honor roll events for Emily. We have also endured difficulties with work and money, a miscarriage, and a few complications with Amy’s third pregnancy. It gives me great pleasure to introduce... [Read the full story]

His hair fell out in clumps today. I teared up and he said, “Time to get a haircut.” He seems fine with it all. It’s me that falls apart every time something new happens. Do you ever just feel like nothing is going your way? I decided that it wasn’t cancer when I sat in the hospital room, but the doctors said otherwise. I decided that they would get it all with the surgery, but the radiologist disagreed. So I decided that his blood work would be fine and markers would go back to normal after the tumor... [Read the full story]

Spiders and such

July 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Hey everyone.  Everything is fine here in South Carolina.  It is hot, but these last few days have been California hot.  Not too bad and not very humid.  My girls are happy.  Jenna loves spiders and bugs, Riley loves to read.  She will be able to read on her own soon. We have a pet Black Widow (typical David) that we found in our sandbox.  I just couldn’t kill it.  I have always had a strange thing for dangerous spiders.  Maybe compassion because everyone else just kills them and doesn’t see their value. ... [Read the full story]

Jake and Ani’s Trip to the Mojave

May 3, 2009 · 1 Comment 

We just got back from a Desert Field Studies Center in the Mojave Desert. We went there as a class for Cuesta College and had a blast!!! We started off the trip by meeting at Cuesta College at 6:30 am on Thursday April 30th. That means we had to get up at 5:00 am. Yikes! First Gila Monster reported in the area for decades. Good thing our bags were packed and we were ready for the adventure. It took about 5 hours to get there with various stops on the way to see Joshua trees and Juniper trees. We already knew about those... [Read the full story]
