Yesterday, Mr. Mack had a conference downtown so Missy Mack and I had a field trip day.
First stop, the Texas Memorial Museum on the UT campus. The have constructed dinosaurs out of bones found in Texas and one marine Dino from right here in Austin. They also have an extentive mineral and gem collection. [...]
Coco and I had a date last night. I have been waiting to see eclipse with Coco and last night was the night. I introduced her to this snazzy sushi place across the ridge from me. It is a beautiful place with beautiful views and a beautiful menu. We got a variety if things on [...]
Today we narrowly escaped swimming in a storm. Missy Mack and I have tried to swim several days to practice her new skills but each time we plan, we get rained out. This morning was no different except we had about an hour before the rain came down and stayed with us all day. She [...]

Play with Missy Mack goes like this:
Missy: Mommy, you do this _________ (insert whatever make believe play she has instructed me to do)
Me: I do as instructed.
Missy: No, Mommy, you [...]

I have started a Twitter account. Mr. Mack has been on for awhile. He is always laughing out loud, sharing interesting things and learning about cool things in town. I decided why not? I didn’t think I would like it, but I do! It [...]
Well, my meltdown is over. Sort of. I still feel a little fragile but Mr. Mack either read the blog or took his cues and did his best to bring me back to Earth.
First, I think sleep was in order for all of us on Friday. We all laid down for a nap and [...]
