It’s official; our house is on the market. You can find it with MLS#5461403. There aren’t any pictures yet, but there will be later this week.

I did it!
That’s me (and Jen) crossing the finish line of the 3M Half Marathon! I ran 13.1 miles in 2:16:26 (2 hours, 16 minutes and 26 seconds). My goal was to stay under 2:30:00. Yes, the clock in the picture shows 2:18:48, but that’s gun time, not chip time. The start line is about the same [...]
First Day of School
Well, it’s not really school, just Mother’s Day Out, but we’re calling it school. And Cooper loves to go to ‘cool.’ He goes Tuesday and Thursday from 9 to 2. The first day, he didn’t really understand why I wanted to take his picture before school. I ended up chasing him around the house with [...]
Site Updates
So I’m sure you’ve noticed the changes in layout to the site. The old layout was okay, but didn’t look all that great. It was really just thrown together to get us going when Cooper was born.
While the changes look big, they were actually really easy. With the help of the interwebs [...]
Front Yard v1.5
Well, it’s spring and in the Mery household that has come to mean projects. Last year we did a little work in the front yard and some pretty major work in the back yard. This year we’re hitting the front yard again.
Here’s the plan:
Front Bed: Pull the Indian Hawthorns and Japanes Boxwoods [...]
In Over My Head
I did something rather stupid this morning; I signed up (and paid) to run the 3M Half-Marathon. The run will take place on January 27th. It starts near the Gateway movie theater on Stonelake and finishes near Waterloo Park. For those that don’t know, a half marathon is 13.1 miles.
A guy I [...]
New Pictures Posted
OK, so I felt like a horrible mom when I wrote Cooper’s nine month letter. I hardly had any pictures to put with it. So, I’m actively trying to take more pictures. I’ve posted some new pictures of him in his album, along with pictures from our last playdate, our trip to Texas Jumping Beans [...]
Plant questions
We’ve gotten a lot of questions from friends on what everything is in the backyard. I’ve finally made a list and compiled some links so you can check everything out. Everything here is either native or naturalized. This means that they all tolerate sun, heat, and drought very well.
I would have linked [...]
Rain rant
Seriously!? Again!? So, Austin usually gets about 36 inches of rain a year. According to the weather guy last night, we’re at 38 inches and July isn’t even over yet. And it already rained this morning. And there’s a 100% chance this afternoon. And there’s a tropical system in [...]
A little behind these days…
I know, I know, you’ve been patiently waiting for pictures of the backyard. Calm yourselves, they are up. Before has been up for a while, but now we have During and After. And now that we’ve had some good rain and we’ve had time to water the plants in, I’ll take more pictures and add [...]
