The best parts of my life are mostly small things. The best part of my day yesterday was my whole day with this little guy. I loved going to his two-year-old checkup with his mama. Then he came home with me so Kelsey could help a dear friend. On the […]

His New, Cool Discovery
This is the best pic from the day. The Grand discovered how to swing like a monkey under the table while he was retrieving the ball. It was hilarious and surprising at the same time! I would love to know what he was thinking as he accidently discovered a new […]
Read More...One of the Best Parts of Releasing Your Kids
Sitting here after a tiring day of running here and there, I’m thinking what is worth writing about today? What was the best part of my day? That’s easy—talking to all three of the girls in the same day and that happened today. Yesterday I talked about the grief of […]
Read More...If You’re About to Send a Kid to College. . .
I chatted with a mom today who will be taking her youngest to college in about a week. The daughter is a junior so this mom knows all too well how quiet the house will be in a couple of weeks. She already anticipates her empty bedroom and one less […]
Read More...The Fabric of My Life
At first glance today was another day like so many of mine before—write till my brains flatlines, work on paperwork, return emails, water flowers. Maybe you had a similar day—doing what needs to be done but nothing really picture worthy. As I thought through the day, I realized so many […]

We finished! We finished the fence late this afternoon. Gene still has to make the gates and put the finishing touches on but the dogs can use it! (Gene put plywood where the gates will go.) And today I was promoted from Construction Assistant to Nail Gun Person. I got […]
Read More...Another Day for which I Am Grateful
Today was like a relay race for me and am I ever pooped! As a result I don’t have any cool pics except the one I posted of The Grand on Instagram earlier today and this one of the fence. The day started pretty calm, but before I knew it […]

Today I did something for the first time—I used an air nail gun. I was promoted from construction-assistant-who-just-holds-one-thing to construction-assistant-who-holds-one-thing-and-sometimes-gets-to-use-the-nail-gun. I am really enjoying working with Gene on the fence. This afternoon before we worked on the fence we worked at Kelsey and Caleb’s house. Gene “mudded” a couple of […]
