Today I am consiously thankful for my incredible husband. I don’t know how women raise children on their own or with a partner who doesn’t WANT to be a Dad. When I spend time around other dads that aren’t as committed or as happy to be a Dad as Randy…it makes me appreciate him SO …

UTSA Football
When it comes to college athletics, I have fallen deeply in love with Texas A&M University. I give the credit to my wife and in-laws, as they have opened the door to Aggieland for me and shown me what a great institution it is. Since my alma mater, UTSA, did not have a football team, …

Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day truly is the most important holiday (except Easter) for me. I would rather celebrate Mother’s Day than my birthday, and I don’t think that will ever change for the rest of my life. My entire life all I wanted was to be a mom and raise a family. That sounds so archaic, but …

Everybody do The Daycare Shuffle
I have to admit, the most stressful parts of my day are the pick-up and drop-off at daycare. I have the shortest commute, so Daddy’s truck has been deemed the Kid Taxi. That used to not be as big of a deal when it was just Reed and I would be in-and-out in 2 minutes …

First month as a family of four
The friends that have gone before us by adding a second child to the family have openly admitted, “It’s a freakin’ circus.” Well, we’ve had our first experience with the Baldwin Traveling Roadshow this past month once we added Alison to the family and got home from the hospital. This is certainly a season of …

The drought is over
This has by far been the longest we have gone on this blog without posting. It’s not for lack of activity for sure. It’s mostly laziness, or we could also blame my hosting company that has not been as reliable as in the past, but in general… it’s just laziness. Here are the “catch up” …

Father's Day 2010
My second Father’s Day was not one I would care to remember. I came down with a stomach virus at about 5am and spent the next 6 hours making trips to the bathroom for more than one reason… I was down for the count. Needless to say, I missed out on the Father’s Day plans …

4 Years…Already?
Today is our 4 year anniversary. Looking back I’m completely shocked at how much our lives have changed in 4 short years. Our first anniversary we were in Seattle and living in a new house. The second I was in a new job and Randy was about to start a new job. The third we were in …
