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
Summer Is Underway; Marathon Is Almost Here [Running]
It’s been quite around here for a while. I’m kind of done with the archive thing, having put up the archives from January to April 2006. Just a few loose ends to clean up, I think/hope. I’m still catching my … Continue reading
It’s Here, Baccalaureate is Really Here [School]
Really hard to believe we’ve gotten this far. Seems like not too long ago, Madysen was still my baby girl–and she listened to at least a portion of what I said. But this evening, she’ll officially graduate from high school. … Continue reading

A Surprising New Artiste In The Family [Dance]
I’ve been told that Speed’s elective choice for this school year was either Art or Dance. Surprising, at least to me, is that he chose Dance. Throughout the year, he has refused pleas to show us his dance moves (other … Continue reading
