A Maiden Voyage

admin | September 29, 2007

As long as I have known him, Brenden has wanted a boat. What type didn’t matter – kayak, canoe, row, motor, yacht… he’d have been happy with anything. Yesterday, he passed a “man’s garage sale” and came home talking about this canoe that they had…an hour later it was in his truck in [...]

I am SO tired!

admin | September 28, 2007

Intersession has officially started and I have 3 kids at home all day again. At the moment CJ and Emmy are laying in one bed “resting” (the squeals of laughter that I hear coming from the room, I have convinced myself, is them falling asleep). Abby is grudgingly on her bed reading [...]

It is September. The kids are wrapping up their first quarter of school and counting down to their fall break in 3 weeks. Soccer season has started with a bang (by bang I mean 3 nights a week with 2 game days on the weekends). We were even able to have our [...]

A Little Secret

admin | September 10, 2007

There are a few things that I have discovered about my husband after 10 years of marriage. He likes to laugh, he is very romantic and loves to sweep me off my feet, he is a wonderful father and has 3 very blessed children. There is a negative, however. He is a [...]

There are a couple of disclaimers that I must give before you read this blog.
