Another Year, Another Picture [School]
I have forsaken my blogging duties for most of the summer–everyone needs a break, right? But today marks the start of the school in HP, so Speed, Layla, and Emma are transitioning back into their school routines. Predictably, Speed is … Continue reading
The Official Big Graduation Remembrance [School]
Whatever my duties around here, I’ve been quite remiss in fulfilling them at least since Holly ran her Alaskan marathon. And while I’d love to say that it’s because nothing much has been happening around here, I cannot tell that lie. … Continue reading

Summer Is Underway; Marathon Is Almost Here [Running]

Easter Eggs And Broken Blow Pop Sticks [Holidays]
The remnants of the Saturday evening egg decorating extravaganza that Madysen and Speed were way too cool to participate in. On Easter morning, Emma was the first awake (as always), and she took pictures of the Easter Bunny baskets. (This … Continue reading

Another Year Of Archives In The “Books” [Administration]
It took me longer than did the 2001 archives, but I’ve got the 2002 group done and in their places. More than 30 entries, many of them unnecessary I’m sure. And I grew to detest the flare effect I used, … Continue reading
