After our weekend in Houston, we felt like destroying the boys' sleep schedule as far as we possibly could. This involved packing up the car again and taking a trip down to San Antonio to check out the local wildlife.

I'll be adding a weekly update tomorrow, but today Max did something that earned him an award and we thought we'd give him a chance to show it off to everyone.

Now that we've given Max a little room to shine, we return to our irregular schedule. Our blog software tells me that this will be our 250th post on the blog. Pretty amazing that we've made it this far! I guess we'll see how many more we can make before our kids insist that we stop posting things about the on the web.

As the title hints, today we'll be talking about Mother's Day.

Every once in a while we have one of those weeks where things are so busy and our list of activities is so short that we only manage to snap a few photos of the kids. This is one of those weeks.

Last week started normally, with our usual routine of school and work and all that entails. That I'm writing that sentence at all should tell you that the week took a bit of a turn for us. Not the end of the world, but certainly not what we'd hoped for.
