The 2009-2010 NFL season officially began yesterday with the opening of training camp at Redskins Park.

I mentioned earlier here that H started preschool a few weeks ago. Blue Eyes and I did a lot of talking and soul-searching and finally decided that the timing was right for H to move from the home daycare he had been attending to a more structured child development preschool program. We were very pleased [...]

The Boy just returned from spending a month with his dad and step-mom. They traveled to Texas to visit family. It took tons of poking and prodding by me, Blue Eyes and my dad, but we did manage to get some information out of The Boy. So, without further ado, for your reading pleasure, here is [...]

Haven’t done a Friday Fill-In for a while.

Blue Eyes, H and I went to a Festival at a local vineyard on Saturday. It was our first time attending any sort of wine tasting or event at a vineyard, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect.

Well…he did it! H finished up his first week of preschool with flying colors. Tuesday was a “bad” day, but other than that, he totally loves it and seems to be getting along well.
Things we’ve noticed as the week progressed:

My good friend Smart Mouth Broad over at Words of Wisdom from a Smart Mouth Broad has tagged me for the Magic 8 meme. I’m pretty sure I’ve played this one before, but considering that I can barely remember yesterday, much less a meme I did several months ago, I figured I’d give it a [...]

On Thursday, we said a sad goodbye to H’s daycare provider, Maggie. She cried and H enjoyed the special attention he received all day. At 2 1/2, he really doesn’t understand that he won’t be returning to her house each day. We’ve talked about it and especially have talked about Preschool, but we’re pretty sure [...]
