RV Expo

So... ever taken a 17 month old to a RV show?

Really, it wasn't all that bad. Grace was really good. We spent a lot of time taking Grace out of the stroller and putting her back in. She did seem to enjoy checking out all the different travel trailers we were looking at.

This was the first RV show we have been to with Grace... well, sort of. Brenda was pregnant when we went to the last one. On that particular trip we went and gawked at all the massive and opulent 5th wheel trailers for full-timers. This trip was mostly confined to what we may practically consider in the next several years. Mostly we looked at Hybrid trailers (solid side travel trailers that have "tent" beds that fold out from the front, back and/or side) and some "bunkhouse" models of light weight trailers. No, we aren't likely to buy one anytime soon, but it is fun to look. One day, hopefully after 1 or both of the vehicles are paid off, we may give it more thought. We would probably buy something used, but the shows provide a great chance to see so many different models and makes without pushy salesmen hounding you. Plus, it was a rainy, yucky, cold day today, so it was perfect for spending inside wandering the Austin Convention Center.

Ask Brenda in April how she feels about the travel trailer idea. We are borrowing a travel trailer for an extended weekend. That trip should sort out lots of questions!

Type 2 Diabetes - An Inconvenient Journey

I wish I wasn't the type of person that needed to get hit in the head with a 2x4 before I take action.  I really do want to be the type of person who heeds the warning signs that appear when someone else is walking through a challenge and is able to apply them to my own life.  I am 44 years old and I have a literal lifetime of warning signs, sounds, flags, banners, smoke signals and alerts that have been going off all around me. It isn't a news flash that obesity causes a variety of health-related issues.  I took health in junior high and high school.  I have been told many times by teachers, trainers, coaches, doctors, and nurses that I cannot outrun or outlive poor choices in diet and exercise.  As an adult, I have read many books on topics of health and self-improvement that encourage healthy habits and stress the importance of using daily exercise to reduce stress, improve cardiovascular health and increase energy.  I have read about the importance of...

Grace goes to see Elmo's Green Thumb

Brenda and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day on February 12th with a nice dinner out, just the 2 of us. You couldn't drag me into a restaurant on Valentine's Day night with a pack of wild horses, so we take advantage of having our anniversary so close. Plus, when I send flowers on the 12th, I get a 2 day head start on getting the freshest, most beautiful flowers delivered to Brenda and she gets a couple of days longer to enjoy them in her office. So what did we do today to celebrate Valentine's Day? We took Grace to see Elmo's Green Thumb! We didn't tell Grace until this morning that we were going, so it was a complete surprise. So, was it worth it to spend Valentine's Day at the Erwin Center surrounded by enough toddlers in diapers to make anyone nervous? Take a look at the grin in the first picture. It was definitely worth it. I don't how to say this without making us sound incredibly pretentious, but Brenda and I decided...

Learning to make things grow

Grace is Granddad's girl when he is not at work. Given a choice, she would rather be with Granddad than just about anyone, especially if he is going to be outside! With the warm temperatures in Texas this week (it is supposed to be about 75 degrees today), it is a good time to be working in the yard. Granddad built a raised bed this winter and now it is time to get the bed ready for planting. There is something truly special about watching a toddler as they explore their new world. Today, she may just be playing in the dirt, but as the year progresses, she is going to get to see the planting of seeds and bulbs, followed by the sprouting of new plants and hopefully, the harvest of fresh veggies and herbs! Best of all, she will be able to share all of this with her Granddad. That is something absolutely priceless. I can think back to my childhood, spending weekends and summers with Pa, there were a lot of weekends that we worked really, really hard. Whether it was planting seedling...
