This week is VBS at our church. Last year I volunteered and enjoyed every minute of it. But this year, I decided to give someone else the opportunity to fill that need. I’ve become one of the “drop-and-run” parents and I’m loving it This year’s theme is “Avalanche Ranch, [...]

A Good Day
Yesterday was a busy, busy day for us! We started by leaving the house by 8:40AM, heading off to the grocery store. But, this wasn’t just a quick trip; it was a full-blown, full-cart, serious grocery shopping event. And, with summer in full-swing, I had absolutely no choice but to load up [...]

Just another rainy Saturday…
It’s raining, again, and here we are, trying to set-up more playground equipment in the backyard! What’s with the rain? Why can’t it rain during the week when Michael is at work? Why is it that the heavens choose to empty on Saturday when Michael is home and we are attempting to [...]

Everyone loves a Jumping Party…except Ian!

Born to be weird!
This is what Alex exclaimed as he rounded the corner wearing this:

Throwing Caution to the Wind…
…my youngest son, Ian, now 2 1/2 has apparently found his bravery bone. The child that wouldn’t touch the pool water with his big toe unless mommy or daddy were there to cling to on Sunday afternoon, has now taken to leaping off the 2nd step of the pool ladder without giving it another [...]

Gonna have to buy it!
Have you seen this book? Have you heard anything about it? Why is it that we’ve had to resort to writing books about this sort of thing? What happened to the things we used to innately do when we were kids – bike riding all over the neighborhood until it was too [...]

And then there was 1
Over the past week, Michael & I have set up a pool, set up a second pool, painstakingly transferred the water from the first pool to the second, emptied the first pool of its contents, rinsed & dried the first pool and the tarp underneath it, then folded it up and returned it to it’s [...]
