I'm back

I guess I needed a break from the blog. I'm back though.  So far, 2013 has been off to a busy start.  We just finished basketball season for Alex on Sunday, Conleigh continued her volleyball pursuits that evening and Campbell will begin basketball on Wednesday - just as Alex heads off to baseball practice.  I LOVE these times.

It seems like my thoughts have been coming in tweet size packages  lately. Since I gave up facebook for Lent, I opened a twitter account while I was at a work conference on Friday. They encouraged us to use our phones to tweet, so I was just following directions.  :)  I haven't tweeted at all, but I can tell you that as a follower of Deepak Chopra and the Motley Fool, they tweet often!

We have been playing musical beds in our house lately.  It has been wonderful to have company.  Larry & Kathryn came to hold down the troops while Peter & I enjoyed a super fun night out with friends at the Austin Rodeo Gala last weekend.  12 of us piled into the Bongo bus and headed downtown for a great auction, meal and concert by Dierks Bentley. We danced and laughed. It was a great time.

As we waved goodbye to Larry & Kathryn, Mark Robinson drove into town for a two night stay. The kids loved having him here and Peter and I get a kick out of all his plans.

This past weekend my parents drove in to see us and to watch Alex's basketball team, the Warriors, in their basketball tourney. It was so much fun. Really, the first challenge the boys have had all season.  Unfortunately, the season ended in the quarterfinals. I felt like we were in a movie everytime anyone scored. The whole spectator section would just roar!

Seriously, my parents and Peter's mom Sarah passed on the highway between Austin and Houston. Sarah came to help out because I had a work conflict yesterday and forgot the kids were off to celebrate our President's.  Thanks for the help Sarah.  I was also sick for the second time in two weeks. Doc said that I have bronchitis, and 24 hours on meds makes a world of difference.
