Da Browns

Welcome to the jungle!

Our jungle has a mighty lion king, Jared; his sultry lioness, Tamany; three crazy monkeys, Landon, Tyler, and Ethan; and a beautiful gazelle, Isabel. It also has a beast, Phoebe, our mastiff.

Life in our jungle is much like other jungles: a constant searching for food. It consists of finding the food, killing it, bringing it home, preparing it, eating it, cleaning it up, and trying to share with others what we found.

This blog is to share the highlights of what happens in our jungle during that process.

I'm good for something....

Today as I entered the bathroom to help Ethan, I turned on the light for him. He said, "Mom you are good at turning on lights."

This kid has such a way with words. He makes everyone laugh and melt in his presence. On the way to the hospital to deliver him a torrential summer rainstorm came out of nowhere. I always say that the heaven's were crying to lose their Ethan.

  1. Hey Tam. Welcome to the world of blogging. I'm glad to see the Browns again, even if it's the electric Browns. So random, but last night I dreamed that you surprised us with a visit. My house was a wreck and I kept walking around pouring milk all over the place. I was mortified thinking, "I'm such a slob! Border town life isn't really this bad." Heheh.

    In all honesty, I'm still in my workout clothes as I write this at 10:30, so I guess I really am a slob. ;-)

While at dinner with Gramie, I asked where she was. The boys said she was standing in line waiting to get them their pizza from the buffet line. I said, "What!" Tyler looked at me and emphatically announced, "Mom, she loves us!"
