No, please don't go running for the hills....I just accomplished something that I never thought I would be able to-I made fastnachts for Fat/Shrove Tuesday (depending on how you look at it).

The tradition of going to my grandma's to partake of these yummy doughy delights has gone on ever since I can remember and was probably happening before I was born. However, this year was different-in recent years, my aunts have taken turns helping with the dough since Gram was diagnosed with Parkinson's. This year, I made the dough!! (Yes, the one who could burn water if that were possible.) I am so excited!!

In other news, Megan & Jocelyn will be here in two weeks, and the rest of the fam (aunts, uncles & cousins) will be here a few days after that for my grandma's 75th birthday-it will definitely be a whirlwind of a weekend!

Love you!!

What is This Country Coming To?

I heard about this story on the Glenn Beck Program this morning...I've got one word for you-WOW (and not in a good way). Just thought I'd share this; makes me glad I'm here in Texas and not in North Carolina!

Darn progressives running this country!!

School Daze

Just thought I'd keep everyone up to date on various accomplishments for Cait and I...

Caitlin got her mid-year progress report, and with the exception of one little thing (Thursday is not a day in her week) she is rocking her teacher's world-or she should be if Mommy has anything to say about!!

I found out last week that I have been invited to join Phi Sigma Pi, which is the national honor fraternity , which means I will have to rush (NEVER thought I would do that, but would totally be worth it) in a couple of weeks...we'll see how that goes.

Excitement will run amok in the next few weeks as Megan & Jocelyn will be coming for a visit...when Jocie comes Cait will only be still when she's asleep, although I'm not sure what the difference is between how she normally behaves and when Jocelyn's in town. Gotta love my girl!!

I will post again next week when we find out if Meg's having a boy or girl...
