Food, Concerts, And Soccer Are My Weaknesses [Birthdays]
I don’t mention my or Holly’s birthday very much around here. And I’ve delayed this post about my 38th until Holly actually made the Key Lime Pie she promised me. She came through ten days late, but it still tastes … Continue reading
I Hope The Third Preteen Goes Better [Birthday]
On Friday, Layla turned 12. She’s come a long way. Dangerously close to three teenagers in this house. Not sure about Holly, but I don’t think I can handle that. Maybe that’s why every day I consider giving Madysen the … Continue reading

Defensive Driving Now Encouraged In Your Area [Birthdays]

A Ginger Face Only A Mother Could Love [Birthdays]
Fifteen years ago today, he of the left-handedness, ginger hair (with optional bowl cut), and chocolate covered face was born. It’s been all downhill since. Which brings us to another heart stopping announcement, he’s getting his permit to drive this … Continue reading
A Big Birthday Brings Joy To Some, Pain To Me [Birthdays]
Almost a month ago I mentioned that I was way behind here; I’m much further behind now. I’m going to blame it on Madysen turning 16 and beginning to drive. It’s a wonder my heart still beats. Anyway, here’s a … Continue reading
