Cool New Site

We have just signed up and have started using a menu planning website.  I really like it.  It comes up with a nice menu of great tasting, fast and easy to prepare meals.  It also includes the shopping list broken out by grocery store departments.  They identify how much of each ingredient you need for each different menu item so that you can eliminate the amount you buy of each if you decide to not cook all the meals they had planned for you.  The site is: http://www.dinewithoutwhine.com.  Check it out when you get a chance.

Megan has an appointment to get tubes put in next Tuesday. Poor girl still shows no sign of her ears bothering her.

Kimo's Celebrity

So Danielle hangs out with Hollywood stars, Kimo stays a little more low key. Today, I met Mr. Hill-Bert, the owner of a local hamburger chain with 3 Austin locations. Hopefully, there aren't any cardiac doctors reading this because I'm sure the burgers aren't the healthiest but, they sure are tasty.

Video Test

Margaritta?

Abby has a new teacher for her PE class (Strech-n-grow). Apparently, her name is Marguerite. I don't know where the song has come from but, she is singing "one little, two little, three little Marguerite..." to the tune of "One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians". Danielle and I selectively heard margarritas in the song and thought Abby had an excellent idea. In fact, the blender would be working overtime if we only had the mix. I have a new item to add to this weekend's shopping list.

Tubes For The New Year

Well Megan can't seem to get rid of her ear infection(s). Our doctor has now referred us to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. We may be getting her some tubes installed to start the year off. We will wait and see what the specialist says. In looking back, the writing was probably on the wall since birth. She wasn't able to have her hearing tested while in the hospital and we had to go see some specialists to get more tests done. They suggested at that time that there might have just been some fluid that hadn't drained. Well, hello, that same non-draining could/would lead to an ear infection if it continues. Oh well, what can you do.

Happy New Year!!!!

Well it has been a couple of days since our last post. I would like to say that it is because we have been so busy we couldn't find time to do it but, that wouldn't be exactly true. Monday, James had to go into work for the better part of the day so that left Danielle home with the two kids. Monday night, we went over to a friends house for a small New Year's Party. With the dry conditions here in Texas, it turned into a night of listening to the fire department run all over the county as people with their fireworks tried to burn Kyle down. After the party, we came home and put the girls to bed. James ran out at 1:00 AM to help put fires out. Most of the fires had been extingushed by that time so he was home a relative early, 3:30 AM. Tuesday was a day that was supposed to be full of rest but, Abigail came down with some stomach bug that kept her up and sick all day. After nursing her through the day, it was back to work/school for everyone on Wednesday.

At any rate, I thought it was time to change the background on the blog and wish you all a very Happy New Year. Danielle really likes this background. I think it is because it combines her favorite colour du jour (chocolate brown) with some pretty flowers. If I could get the flowers to come out pink, we would probably never change the background again. Anyway, I have to give credit to the website pyzam.com where we get the backgrounds from. If you are blogging, myspacing, or just about anything else, they have something for you there. Enjoy.
