Before I write this blog post I want to say thank you for the response to my last post, “Change of Seasons.” I was really overwhelmed by all of the comments on Facebook, the comments here, the private e-mails and the conversations that post started. I’ve been curious what it was about that post that…
I didn’t even realize it until a friend clued me in, but Monday was a big day for us. It was the day we could find out which teachers our kids got for the school year. Even after she told me, I didn’t bother to rush over to the school to find my children’s names…
We dropped our boys off at summer camp for the first time ever on Sunday. This was harder on me than I thought it would be, but not for the reasons I expected. I mean, yeah… I’m going to miss them. I already do! And I’m a little worried about their overall health and safety….

During the last few weeks, we have sat through several baseball games in the freezing cold. When we saw that it was drizzling outside yesterday afternoon, we all bundled up in coats and gloves for another cold game. Just as we were walking to the van, I got a text that the game was cancelled….
I guess if I had to sum up my birthday with one word, it would be “unforgettable.” This was one of those birthdays where we will definitely look back and laugh some day. Or maybe just shake our heads. My husband and kids are so awesome. They did everything within their power to make it…
The toddler loves books. Now that she is getting a little older, I got out this awesome set of books that I used to read to the other kids. I have always loved these books because they are so well written and entertaining with unusual stories! She was so excited, she could barely believe it…
