Saturday, October 30, 2010. Pumpkin Patch X 2! The boys and I made the beautiful, scenic trip to Marble Falls for the Pumpkin Patch at Sweet Berry Farms with the Kinder, First and Second grade classes at Sterling. It was SO much fun! The kids had plastic pumpkin races with old-fashioned water pumps, they shucked corn, went on a hayride, walked through a maze and had pumpkin races! A full day for sure, and both of my boys were pooped when we headed home. Shucking some corn old school style.

Monday, September 20, 2010. We went on a search for animal tracks today. Luckily, we have a neat little preserve right around the corner from our house. We had never taken the boys there, but after the fun we had today, I have a feeling we'll be going back soon! What sweet boys. They had a ball on our hike! Hmmm, now where are some tracks? Thanks to the recent rain, the paths were still a bit soft and muddy and we found some AWESOME deer tracks! Brother, can we please go back to the playground now? The S...

Saturday, April 30, 2011. NYC - Day 2. Thanks to a relaxing dinner and early bedtime the night before, we were able to get up and GO Saturday morning. First stop, Chinatown. This is the one and only part of our trip that I can honestly say I did not enjoy. We went, we saw, we shopped. I won't say never, but probably wouldn't go back. ;). But first, dinner. We had to cancel our original reservations at a historic Italian restaurant since we opted for another show. This was the perfect chance for u...It wa...

Sunday, January 30, 2011. Toothless Grin and Sleepovers. Our sweet boy lost his fourth tooth yesterday, completing the cutest toothless smile we've ever seen! In other news, this is how our boys sleep these days. Isn't it cute? LJ has taken to big brother's bed, so as long as they aren't bothering each other, we are o.k. with it. It actually seems to help them calm down and fall asleep faster. I'm sure that will change one day, but for now, we love that they love each other so much. View of the front par...

More Than Enough: Our home away from home
http://themcdanielcasa.blogspot.com/2013/07/our-home-away-from-home.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. Our home away from home. The view from the front porch facing Sierra Blanca. The kids call the house "the New Mexico house." Simple, but said with lots of love. One of the boys favorite things to do at our house is look for deer from the back deck. There is one right below them. That Papa was feeding! The second thing the boys love about this house - the hot tub! We turn the temp down a little and they have their own private, heated pool. Another view of Sierra Blanca. Sigh. And ye...

And the McD family continued our tradition of heading to the beach the day after the boy's last day of school. This year's destination? Galveston. So much fun! Now, an update on our oldest baby. I mean, young man. I know. He IS handsome, isn't he? Snake just finished his SECOND GRADE year in school. WHAT? At the end of each school year at SCS, the teachers hands ou...

More Than Enough: A Whole Hand!
http://themcdanielcasa.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-whole-hand.html
Wednesday, July 24, 2013. So I'm not saying I still think of him as a BABY. Even though he was the cutest, cuddliest, most smiley baby. Awwwww, so sweet. I actually think of him more like this. Still snuggling in our laps or wanting to be carried around. It's not that I'm not ready for him to grow up. I love that he is past so many of the things that aren't necessarily lovely about toddler/preschoolers. But I can't help but think of him as being just a little bit younger than he is. I'm a swimmer.").

Monday, November 22, 2010. The Best Santa Picture EVER. We just can't help but laugh! While our little L is a sweet, smiley, loves-to-laugh kinda guy, he is also quite unimpressed with many things. Like Santa. Our big man is ever the people pleaser and of course, wanted to show Santa his best smile. LOVE. IT. Today's Santa visit will be one I'm sure not to forget! Saturday, November 20, 2010. And he sure did make a fine pilgrim! Tipping his hat to mom and dad prior to the start of the show. The thanksgi...

Thursday, December 30, 2010. Christmas with Nana and Papa D. My boys were SO excited when we arrived at Aunt Janai's house the evening of Dec. 26th. Our oldest especially, because when Daddy had to take little brother to the doctor that morning before we left town, he was afraid we weren't going to be able to go! Poor thing - we've had to cancel the same trip due to LJ getting sick after Henley was born so I couldn't blame him for worrying! She didn't seem to mind. He made her smile a lot. After visiting...
