Celebrate the Small Things-June 9, 2017

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



Though my husband had our 10-year anniversary last week, we'll be celebrating it today.  The kids are all going to have a good day with their grandparents.  The boys are excited to go swimming with their cousins and to spend the night.  It'll be weird being without them, especially Zoe,

Celebrate the Small Things-June 2, 2017

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



Today the boys have their last day of school for this school year.  They're really excited, as I'm sure you can all imagine.



Today is also a pretty big day for my husband and me.  We got married ten years ago today.  It's crazy to think how quickly that time has gone.







A lot has

Celebrate the Small Things-May 26, 2017

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



I know I'm posting this a little late, but it's been a busy week. Not crazy like last week was.  Just busy.  I had appointments and errands to run that required a lot of driving, and my boys have t-ball, which means taking them to practices and games. I'm ready for some relaxation over

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



Have you ever had one of those crazy weeks that leave you stunned, and not in a good way?  That was this past week. There were family feuds.  A family member had a rare and scary medical emergency.  (I don't want to share details for sake of privacy, but I can tell you that the person

Celebrate the Small Things-May 12, 2017

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



The weather has been absolutely wonderful most of the week. We had some rain at one point, but the rest of the time it's been warm and sunny.  The boys have enjoyed playing outside.



Of course, all this outside play can get a little rough and tumble.  Last Saturday, Lyle was riding his

Celebrate the Small Things-May 5, 2017

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



The weather here was cold and rainy for several days, but it's warming up and the sun is coming out again.  We took advantage by spending time at the park after the boys got out of school the last couple of days.



The boys had their spring concert at school last night.  They always love

Z is for Zoom

For
this year’s A to Z Challenge, I’m writing drabbles based on words I got from a
random word generator.  A drabble is a
short piece of fiction of exactly 100 words.




Enjoy!

Cosmix Model 27-B Racer and fastened the harness.  He’d been eyeing the sleek black and green
hull of the ship for months, daydreaming about taking it out for a spin around
