Winter Wonderland and Sean Takes 3rd Place At County Spelling Bee

What a weird weather pattern we have been getting lately. Earlier this week, the temp was in the low 70’s – quite nice. Today, we are in the middle of a Winter Storm Warning. Earlier this morning, we received about 2 inches of snow. That snow, plus the threat of a whole bunch more, caused […]

Family Update 2/6/08

As usual, the family seems to be extremely busy once again. To a certain extent, its driven by the upcoming Showstoppers Dance Competition coming up in a few weeks in Phoenix. The kids have been having extra rehearsals and extra practices at home. I can’t remember how many dances they will be doing this year, […]

A Step Backwards

Today was not a good day for Sean’s football team. They seem to seriously regress back to the old days and played terrible. Everyone on the team, including Sean, had a bad day. The final score of the game was 33 – 7. On defense, we couldn’t stop anything. If it wasn’t for a couple […]

Busy Days Ahead

Just when one seems to be relaxing into the lovely fall weather here in Arizona, bang, we go and get busy. Sean and Savannah have only two more weeks left in the regular season of football, but this occupies a significant portion of our Saturdays and three evenings a week for Suzanne and the kids. […]

Wild Night of Wild Fires

Yesterday evening and last night was rather interesting around here – weather wise that is. We should be 2 – 4 weeks away from the onset of our monsoon season. I even heard one report saying it was going to be late this year. Last night, it didn’t look like it was going to be […]

Family Update 3/26/07

It sure has gotten busy around here lately. I sure wish I had some time to take a little bit of a vacation, but alas… Sean and Savannah are on spring break vacation this week. They don’t have any big plans except to have some friends over and go visit some friends. I am also […]

Nice Arizona Weather

This is a great time of year here in Arizona. The weather is just fabulous. Last week and this week, the temperatures in Tucson have been in the mid-80’s. In Sonoita, that equates to about upper 70’s. It’s very nice and comfortable. I think the winter, what we get here in Arizona, is past. The […]

Winter Wonderland

This time, we actually did get some of the predicted snow.  We received about 4 inches of snow here in Sonoita, AZ.  It really looked quite beautiful this morning. The accumulation of snow was enough that the kids school was canceled today.  I slept in a bit this morning, not wanting to make the trek […]

Here We Go Again…

It’s a nice Sunday afternoon of football here in Sonoita.  After all, it’s Conference Championship Sunday!!!  And the snow is falling again in Sonoita. The weather service is again issued a heavy snow warning for us even though we usually dont get any when they do that.  We are kind of on the cut line […]
