Shane and Jenny: Chasing Lizards

A little about me...

Thanks for visiting my blog. I started writing here two years ago as a way to update family and friends with the happenings of our growing family. The more I wrote, the more I read (other blogs and websites), and the less isolated I felt on this journey called parenting, or on a broader spectrum, life. The more I wrote the more necessary it's become for me to write. Writing has proven much cheaper than therapy. And along the way I've discovered, I'm not horrible at it, despite what my middle and high school report cards say. Hey, Mr. Casler. Can you deal with THAT?!

Though my writings most often center around my incredibly adorable children, the content will inevitably be shaken up in the near future as I'm about take on the title "working mom" and return to the (paid) workforce. Wish me luck! I let you know how it goes....

Chasing Lizards

We went to Bend yesterday to celebrate Willie D's fifth birthday and my dad's 70th. It was a whirlwind of a day, that culminated in what we'll call The Great Lizard Hunt of 2012. The girls started looking for lizards with Jayden in the rocks at my dad and Margie's house. They found a bunch, but had a hard time grabbing them. It wasn't for the lack of trying, though. Libby was bravely sticking her hand under rocks and grabbing for them, but it wasn't till Daddy came and joined the hunt that they caught one. Still, I was proud of them for even getting close and tried not to act all squeamish and girly myself.
