Labors of Love

Julia was due on Labor Day (a very appropriate due date), but chose to enter our lives a few days early (she continues to maintain her early over-achiever distinction).  How fitting that on the 22nd anniversary of Julia's due date Edgar and Gar are finishing a 1400 mile trek to provide lovely, meaningful furnishings for her senior year apartment! 

Labors of love are ideally as meaningful for the givers as they are for the recipients.

Weekend Adventures

Our precious lacrosse playing son has created exciting new options for our weekends.  Because our daughter is in college, our only other at home dependent to care for is our furry cat-child Tiger.  And because Tiger is easily accommodated, we cheerily hit the Texas freeways to cheer Gar and the Falcons to victory across the metro areas of Texas.

We would happily endure roadtrips across Texas to support Gar, without additional benefits.  Fortunately, we also have the chance to share meals, games and stories with other lovely parents.  In comparing everyone's other extra-curricular support activities, we realize that we won the lottery with this extraordinary group of parents and players.
