he’s home. i make it a point, like i’ve said before, not to ever blog about chad being out of town when he is, in fact, actually out of town. something about that goes against every bit of the “safety first” training that i received from my parents for the first 20 + years of my […]
This is documenting reason # 248 why homeschooling Chase would never work. I am currently sitting across the kitchen table from Chase, pleading that he write his 2 page research paper on Harry Houdini…a topic he chose himself. All he has to do is copy what we have typed out together onto his lined paper […]
you know how kids can sometimes tell you something louder and clearer than anyone else could. they can say things openly and honestly…with no manipulation, jealousy, ulterior motives, etc. often, it’s funny. sometimes it stings a little. but mostly…it’s just down right authentic, eye-opening truth. during spring break, we headed to the beach…to do all things […]
this happened yesterday. and it was not pretty. in all my 10+ years of parenting, this has never happened before, and by God…it will never happen again. my phone was charging in my bedroom when i heard it ring from the living room. i’ve gotten a little too trusting of the puddin cup…therefore walked out […]
the sweet pea had her very first soccer practice tonight and let it be said, that i was every bit as excited as she was. let’s be honest here. when i went in for my ultrasound, the day before christmas eve when i was pregnant with this little sugar plum, and the technician looked at the […]

chase is currently asleep on the living room floor…in full indiana jones costume. from the looks of it…he fell asleep mid-holy grail hunting. chad is asleep on the couch…with one leg hanging off to the floor and snoring every so often. mmmm…what’s not to want about that guy!! 🙂 colt is watching ESPN and asking me to […]

* chad and colton were at baseball practice…so this conversation was between aiden, chase, annslee, and myself at the dinner table last night and is written exactly as it took place. aiden (very matter of fact, in between bites): “i’m gonna have to sleep with you and dad tonight.” me: “you are??” aiden: “yes.” me: […]
