Cruz, Dax is your father.

Every day since Christmas 2011, Cruz has asked to watch Star Wars. Everyday when he gets home from school, he pulls out this little R2 unit, playing for what seems like hours on end. He has even gone as far as quoting the movie! Sometimes he wakes up singing the Star Wars theme song, and today, he was singing the "hello song" to the gang. People: he is two years old! What have we created??? I wonder if he realizes that in a galaxy not too far away, his dad is STILL equally obsessed.

Update on the Chicken "Poop"

Cruz is pretty excited about his chicken "poop."

One up, three to go

Using recycled and reclaimed materials, we are a quarter of the way there in building our chicken coop with BioGardener. So excited. What with trying to eat primaly, we've been going through two dozen eggs a week almost.

Cruz vs. the Cupcake

This cupcake wasn't only huge, it had magical powers of bribery. He napped for three hours, happily, and woke up saying, "Where's my cupcake?"

Trading Spaces

One of my goals this year was to separate family life from work, which is a hard thing when you're a work at home mom.

We did the old switcheroo and made the family room more comfortable for Cruz and created an office space for myself in our master suite. So far, everyone is happy!

Lettuce be thankful for the rain this fall

First time growing lettuce successfully. Who knew fall gardening would be so fruitful.
