Today was a hard day for me. I know George is only going to be gone a week, but it had been several days since he left, yet his return on Saturday still seemed so far away. The kids and I took my mom on her very first trip to IKEA. I bought a new […]

Today was a tough day that was ending with all 3 kiddos crying (uh, screaming) in unison at bedtime. My evening took a turn for the better, however, when my cell phone notified me that I had a voice message from George. The team was tired from the work today but it looked like they […]

Cousins at the park. Kat and Tiger are coming back today with Gran, but they won’t leave until this afternoon. Bear and I ran a few errands and found ourselves only a few miles from my sister-in-law, Christy. The cousins played at a park for a little while and then we had a quick dinner […]

I woke up early and couldn’t go back to sleep. The house was just too quiet. After breakfast Kat and Tiger called on the phone to wish me Happy Mother’s Day. Kat asked if I had opened my envelope yet. Oops, I had forgotten! Last week she wrote a letter, put “Open on Mother’s Day” […]

The alarm went off at 5:00 AM and George headed to his closet to get dressed. At 5:05 he went to put his suitcase on the porch. The driver wasn’t expected for another 20 minutes, but George wanted to be ready as soon as he pulled up. Twenty second later I hear “Uh, sweetie, he’s […]

You don’t realize how dependent you are on something until it’s taken from you. Something like, oh, say, electricity. A storm last night has left us without electricity since 3 AM this morning. I managed to get through today, but I hear it could be Saturday until it comes back on. Yikes. (We’re at one […]

Meet Meatloaf. He’s 10 months old. The kids are in love. (His name may change if we find something we like better. Got any suggestions?)

Yesterday was Fire Safety Day at our house. We listened to the smoke alarms so we’d know what they sounded like. We practiced leaving the house and going outside. We learned about calling 9-1-1. And we even got to meet some nice firemen who graciously stopped by our house just for Fire Safety Day! That […]
