Canada Pants: March Madness Moneybags
http://canadapants.blogspot.com/2015/03/march-madness-moneybags.html
I'm not a blogger, I just post a lot. Tuesday, March 31. About two weeks ago my boss called me "March Madness Moneybags" because a.) I have been named keeper of our March Madness office pool (a hefty $12) and because b.) I may have helped write the $39k grant proposal we were just awarded by NEH. I can see why people get sucked into their careers and don't do anything else. Success after good old-fashioned cry-your-eyes-out hard work feels really really. Experience for our visitors. The stuff i post about.

Canada Pants: June 2015
http://canadapants.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
I'm not a blogger, I just post a lot. Tuesday, June 23. Run a half marathon. Visit my ancestors’ hometowns in England. Get published in something, anything. Go up the Washington Monument. Get rid of half my stuff. Read the Old Testament. Take a 1 second video every day for a year. Try at least one bite of some kind of fish. Purchase a fore-edge painting. Learn to drive a stick shift. Visit Charleston, SC or Chincoteague/Assateague or all of the above. Give away a Book of Mormon. Go a month without sugar.

I'm not a blogger, I just post a lot. Monday, August 18. Emmy G skips town. Emily has left town for the greener (less green? Pastures of NYC. You might remember Emmy G from this post. Or even this post. Bahaha) and said "Does anyone want to move to Arlington with me? And I almost felt possessed when I yelled YES! In her face. And she was like "for real? And I was like yes. I am serious (This is how we communicate). She took me to Strand Books on my first night there. Reason #431 she's a great friend.

nibbles-n-bits: October 2010
http://nibbles-n-bits.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. Wanna hear a crazy story? Note the shoddily self-cut bangs. What? That's me, circa 2007. And that girl that I'm pointing to in the picture, with the blonde hair and white shirt? That's me, circa 2006. That painting recorded an important day in Katie and Joe history that we didn't even know was important until years later. That was the day that we brushed shoulders and didn't even realize it! Years later, sometime in the blur of 2008-2009, Joe and I figured this all out and reali...

Canada Pants: because summer
http://canadapants.blogspot.com/2015/07/because-summer.html
I'm not a blogger, I just post a lot. Sunday, July 12. I meant to post something about how lovely May was, but then June came and now it's July. Suffice it to say, May was lovely. One of the loveliest Mays ever. I basked in the beautiful spring flowers, watched WWII planes from the roof of DH, celebrated Momma P, got an insider tour of Nats stadium, and reveled in the nuclear-heated waters of Lake Anna. Here are some photos:. July 12, 2015 at 8:52 PM. Sugar Loaf looks so beautiful! The stuff i post about.

Friday, April 11, 2014. Ashley and Soren visited from Boston! Soren and Isla are only a month apart, and it was very cute to see Soren interacting with his cousins. We were unable to do any sightseeing until the very last day Ashley was here, which turned out to be a surprisingly freezing day! We jumped out of the car, ran to the Alamo, ran down to the Riverwalk, and sprinted back to the car, with most of the kids crying about the cold. Everett and Faye in the kitchen sink! It turned out to be a really, ...

Friday, January 16, 2015. December 2014: Trip to VA. My parents considered coming to San Antonio for Christmas, but instead they generously offered to help us fly out to Virginia so we could all be together. Rick had to work every day between Christmas and New Years anyway, so the kids and I took off for Virginia early Christmas morning. Very excited to fly and visit Pappy and Grandmama! That lady missed out on some great conversation opportunities. Here are all the grandkids with Pappy and Grandmama....

Tuesday, August 11, 2015. June began with the end of the school year. Faye had joined the YMCA's preschool in January and had a great six months with Miss Melissa and Miss Lora. They run an amazing group there! Faye loved to report to me who got "on red" (aka in trouble) each day and which girls wanted to marry which boys in her class. Her handwriting also improved a lot! She really worked the kids hard. Everett had more homework than Carson ever did! Everett's writing skills really improved this year, a...

Monday, December 29, 2014. November began with a good-bye: Pappy left after his week-long visit. Windy Faye on Veteran's Day. We should have gone out for free meals and such with our active duty military IDs, but Rick worked late. Isla the potty trainee. I will admit to sort of forcing this one to potty train on my time table. After seven years of diapers, I am ready to be done for a while! She caught on very quickly, although she's taking a while to get the poop in the right place. One of Rick's many ta...

Sunday, April 26, 2015. Sunday afternoon ice cream making. This sweet girl is two-and-a-half! My sister Ashley and Soren came to visit! They spent a couple of days in Austin with The Hales, and we took a day trip to Austin to then bring her down to San Antonio. We visited the Nature and Science Center. Everett had been saving a big rock with a fossil in it for a long time to bring and trade in for points! We finally got the AC fixed in our van! After this very uncomfortable ride home from Austin.). We ha...
