        03/27/08
        Travis and I have been working with Carissa on her manners – yes ma’am, no sir, please, thank you. She is actually doing really well with it considering she is only just two years old, but she does need to be reminded occasionally.

        The other day, Carissa was asking Travis for a jellybea

      • Easter 2008
        03/25/08


        Carissa enjoyed seeing the Easter bunny at the Pearland Easter Egg Hunt! She also found 54 eggs at the Cherry house on Easter morning (along with some other various "loot" the Easter bunny left behind.) Then she got to go to Pa & Grandma's house and find even MORE eggs

        The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo comes to a close today. Travis and I got to see several performances this year, but the best time was yesterday when we got to take Carissa with us to spend some quality time with the animals.

        The first thing on our day of fun and exci

        Dear Bounce-On-It,

        Yesterday (Tuesday March 18), my husband and daughter were looking for something fun and special to do on their day together. I did some research on google and came across your website. What a great time they would have here, I thought to myself. Carissa loves to bou

        03/18/08
        Do you know the ‘six degrees of separation’ theory/game that basically says that everyone is connected to everyone else within six degrees of people? I had one of those moments today.

        I enjoy reading Heather Armstrong’s blog www.dooce.com. She is kind of a pioneer in blogging and, in

      • Firsts...
        03/12/08
        As first-time parents, Travis and I have gone through a very wide variety of ‘firsts’ with Carissa. There are the commonly reported developmental ones such as her first smile, first tooth, first words, first steps, etc that you are supposed to write down in a baby book. Then, there are other first

        03/10/08
        In case you haven’t heard (or noticed the recently acquired train paraphernalia at our and her Pa’s house), Carissa has really gotten into Thomas the Train. She knows all the engines’ names (Thomas, James, Percy, Edward, Gordon, Emily, Toby, etc), their respective colors and numbers, all the songs,

        03/06/08
        My mom has been hinting that our website has not been updated in *quite awhile*. The dutiful daughter that I am, I passed along the message (aka instructions) several times to my darling husband. But, he has been very busy on his Xbox 360 quarterbacking the A&M football team (which is apparent
