It's been a really long time since I've been here. I've been staying very busy at the other website, but it's something that I really enjoy, it really makes me happy.
I got to see my grandmother this past weekend. That's such a joy for me. She came to visit her 4 of her grandchildren (TJ is in Austin) and see our homes and our lives. She came to see her son's farm and his cows and there is nothing better than the proud glow of your mother (or grandmother) seeing all that you've accomplished. Our visit was wonderful and too short, we got to see her again on Sunday. I have some pictures of Grandma, Miranda and myself, but I haven't had the time to download them. I am so proud of my wife and my house, as modest as it is. The place is really coming together slowly but surely.
Given my new hobby, I've am still fascinated by websites and articles that help streamline our lives. I know that few of you have the opportunity to go through as many websites as I do, but Lifehacker is an incredible resource and they're publishing an online book about making your life more simple. Here is Chapter 3: Automate Repetitive Tasks and Chapter 4: Streamline Common Tasks.
I was part of a much greater conversation about the life and kids and money after my last post about Tuition Coach. So now I give you the Five Gifts That Will Make Your Kids Rich. Just think, they'll pay for themselves.
Have you ever wanted to make something but didn't know how to do it? Check out Curbly, for lots of good ideas, everything from making your own photo wall to wallpapering switch-plates to fixing a toilet. I know that Miranda loves the idea of me learning how to fix and create things.
I will post this weekend, I will have pictures.
The new restaurant that Ryan is working for is opening tomorrow night, The Veuve, and Saturday night. It's a proud moment for Ryan. By the way, Ryan, we are all proud of you. Take a minute and soak it all in. Be happy.
