I’m seriously so grateful to Andy’s mom for watching our kids so we could escape for a week! They had a great time and at one point, my mother-in-law said, “Harvey’s been an angel!” Not sure what I’ve been doing wrong, but they were great for grandma! Which I was super happy about, because it …
Monday: Enjoying the outdoors day. I’m not sure who ended the week more exhausted. We packed in a lot! On Monday we had planned to go to the zoo, but Beverly wasn’t feeling well, so we packed up the stroller and enjoyed the beautiful day at the Savannah River. She was happy to just sit …
I have much to be grateful for! I missed a week of blogging (I was busy working on Christmas presents), but we’ve had some full weeks! We celebrated our Veteran, Daddy by treating the kids to Dave and Busters. Andy left that place smiling as big as the kids. He said it was one of …
Halloween in this neighborhood is top shelf. Maybe literally. We have probably half a dozen houses that offer “adult drinks” to those 21 and older. The kids get a little confused by this, since they’re often kind of fun looking like red liquid in a syringe, jello in little cups, or a brewing bowl of …
We had a good week. I was struggling with a virus for most of the week and then Andy caught it towards the end, but we had a good time celebrating Halloween at trunk or treat and at home! Harvey is, of course, a ninja turtle. Max went with the same costume he used last …
We had a very full week juggling after school activities. We had Maverick’s last baseball game, whiffle ball with some family friends, Max’s football game (and team pictures), Max’s school play, piano lessons, and I got to attend Harvey’s fall festival at his preschool. Today we had a wonderful primary program. I was super nervous …
Beverly wasn’t feeling well on Tuesday (a day off from school) so she laid around most the day and took it easy. But Wednesday she was worse. She kept complaining of her stomach. Andy had work at 6 AM that morning, so when I found Beverly on the floor in front of my door, clutching …

This weekend we had our church’s biannual General Conference. I look forward to hearing from the apostles and Prophet of the church. I have so much to learn and I feel so edified after listening to General Conference. They used to seem to last so long as a kid, but as an adult I am …
Coincidence is an interesting word, but a more interesting concept. What causes our minds to connect things? For me, with the faith I have, I see God in these details. Too often little things have collided to pave a certain path for me, or was a certain message I needed to hear. Was it a …
I’m 90% healed now! My heel still feels bruised when I walk too long and my elbow is still scabbing, but it’s almost there, but all of my other bruises and scrapes feel so much better now. It’s amazing how much more quickly you bounce back when you’re young, but I have a lot more …
