Sweet Success

January 16, 2012

About two months ago, I made the unfortunate decision to go in the back door of the blog and change some fonts. Yes, I said change some fonts. Because that’s what I do. At the click of a button, the entire text of my blog disappeared into cyberspace. After several hours of work, my technical [...]

Me, My Boy, and The Girls

January 9, 2012

I remember the night well. It was a Sunday, and it was approximately 7:30 P.M. when we walked through the door with him. I remember looking at him, and then back at McDaddy and asking, “Well, now what do we do?” Our household had just grown by two feet, and we were the proud [inexperienced] [...]

Three is Nine

December 12, 2011

Nine years ago today, on December 12, 2002, I was headed to a weekly non-stress test at our local Children’s Hospital, as I had done for eight weeks. I had spent the past four weeks on bed rest, with another four weeks to go. As I waited for my baby boy to log ten movements, I [...]

Rebel With A Cause

October 19, 2011

I have been wanting a DSLR (digital, single lens reflex) camera for quite sometime. And then my boys signed up for baseball, and the best picture I could get from the stands with my point and shoot was one like this, Which is fine if you have no desire to see your kid’s face. Or [...]

If you are one of the eight regular readers around here at From Inmates To Playdates, you might still be wondering what in the heck happened on our camping trip over the weekend.

You Capture – Games

June 2, 2011

 My wagon is draggin’. I spent the evening working in the baseball field concession stand which I don’t really mind doing, except for the fact that it was 119 degrees in there. It was so hot, my sweat was sweating. And we won’t even talk about the girls. Just know that they were as uncomfortable as I [...]

You Capture – Pretty

May 26, 2011

This week’s You Capture challenge is pretty. This will be a fun one. It was a pretty [hot] day for celebrating field day. (And I have a pretty little sunburn to show for it!) The kids had a lot of fun, especially doing the limbo.  It was pretty scary to watch my boy play pitcher during his last baseball game. [...]

What I Learned This Week – General Encouragement

May 2, 2011

For the past three years our Monday evenings have been pretty much dedicated to Cub Scout meetings. Tonight, our Pack participated in the Rain Gutter Regatta which is much like the pinewood derby, except instead of a car, the boys race a boat, and instead of racing on a wooden track, they race in a rain [...]

The Rest Of The Story

April 17, 2011

For a number of years, my family has camped with several other families from our church. And by large group, I mean 40 or 50 people. We enjoy five days of fun, fellowship, and laughter. We eat together, sit around the campfire together, play corn-hole together, swim together, and cook together. It is an event we look forward [...]
