From Thanksgiving to Christmas

Yes, the blog has been quiet. I apologize to the few who are loyal viewers.

Thanksgiving was great. I spent a weekend in Chicago with Robin & her family. She was able to come here for the long holiday.

Right after that, her dad gave us a scare, but he’s here with us for another Christmas.

December was a return to court, and continues to be. One date remains this year, that much I can be sure of as it is a full day on New Year’s Eve. Beyond that, we haven’t planed as there are various possibilities. All of the continued thoughts, love, well wishes, and prayers are needed and appreciated.

For now, we’re setting about enjoying the holidays to the best of our ability and minimizing our thoughts and conversations about the things we can’t control.

Although I haven’t been punctual with all of my updates, know that more news, as we have it will be posted here.

Merry Christmas to all!

Stars Win

A follow up to last night. Modano was key in a big 3rd period come back & win. Here's a link to DMN's highlight video of last night's presentation.

Not often you see a 20 minute pre-game tribute. It's boiled down to about 3 minutes here:

One sports entry

Yes, this is the family blog; however, from time to time, we all need our own little entry.

In just a few minutes, the Dallas Stars will honor Mike Modano as the greatest American born hockey skater. On November 7th, Modano broke the record for points, and last season he achieved the same mark for goals among Americans. That night he scored two great goals, second of which became the game winner in a 3-1 victory in San Jose.

The Dallas Morning News had a great fact filled pdf, which I’ll link here so long as it is active.

Amid a disappointing Bears season, and while the Stars shake things up to try to better their own slow start, this is a great accomplishment to celebrate. It’s unfortunate that Dallas will not fill the house on Thanksgiving eve to see it done. I know that mom, Blaze, & I will all be watching!

Congrats to Mike (like I know him or something!) &
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Wounded Nuts!

Firstly, since the dog is sometimes more loved than I am, let me start by saying HE'S FINE!

That said, Peanut has a cut on his paw pad. He's been licking it like, well, it was going out of style. We managed to see a vet today, and while wonderfuly clean, it was never going to heal if he kept at it. So, until Monday he's a pink-footed basset mix, who's milking his bandages for all the milage he can!

You see how he posed for these pictures, but actually, the minute we got back from the vet, he ran, found a squirl, and brought it to me for some fetch. Then I got the camera out, and suddenly, it hurt soooooo bad! Who says he's not a kid like any other!
