Flashback Friday & Alarm Woes

The kids were allowed to wear their favorite PJ's to school today, so...

Happy Pajama Day!

Here's hoping for some snow this Christmas! This photo, of Gregg and Payton playing in the snow was taken in 2001, while living in Norman, OK.





Now a word to those of you with home alarm systems:



  1. Always expect the batteries in the door and window sensors to go out at 3 AM.
  2. Always expect the damn alarm to not stop beeping, even after you cut the power.
  3. Always expect said batteries to all go out within minutes of each other, keeping you up by the beeping until the break of dawn.
  4. Always expect the batteries to be hard to find locally and once you do find someone that carries them, they will be on back order.
  5. Always expect that the beeping will have your children scared to death.
  6. Always expect that you will not be able to find the instruction manual for the alarm system in such an emergency. And last but not least...
  7. Always expect that while you are trying to figure out how to get the damn alarm to stop beeping, you will break it. But once it is broken, your headache will go away & you will sleep peacefully once again.

Wednesday night was a complete joy.

Violin Time

Payton wasn't too excited about me posting this video. She doesn't think she's doing very well, but I think she's coming right along. She has only been using the bow for around a week, so it's relatively new to her.
