My sister Emily is a very artistically talented young woman. I’ve featured her work several times on this blog. She loves to paint. Several months ago, she had asked my dad to cut up MDO (medium density overlay) board into 8” x 8” squares. She’s been painting away on them ever since; her inspiration for [...]

I hate to admit this, but this summer it’s been a challenge to get my boys outside to play. They simply don’t want to at times, and to me that’s just sick and wrong. They are little boys – they should be living outside during the summers. I’ll ban the tv, ban the Leapsters and [...] Yesterday I had a blog post up about a bad experience we had VBS this week. It was obvious that I had a lot to get off my chest but it wasn’t so obvious to me at the time how angry I still was about it! Yikes! I thought I’d let myself cool down enough [...] Have you ever looked at a picture of a child and suddenly been confronted with the look of age on his or her face? The loss of baby cheeks, the subtle changes in facial features… all indicators that time is not on our side. That childhood moves too quickly.

I wanted to extend a personal invite to each of you as readers of this blog to attend my sister’s first art show gallery opening. It’s going to be a great time. It’s Friday, July 2nd from 6 pm – 9 pm at Ephemera (Des Moines, East Village). Emily – as featured on the [...] Alright, since I’ve been back on the blogging wagon, I thought I’d update you guys on a recent accomplishment. After all, what’s meeting a goal if you can’t share it with others? Personal satisfaction? Psshha, right. Well here it is: it was a long time coming, but I finally made my goal weight about a [...] My babby. Jace is 10 months old today! I can hardly believe it. He continues to be a sweet, sweet, happy child. As shown in the picture above, one of his favorite things to do is wave. I was just carrying him through the house this morning where we encountered our reflection in a [...] Man, oh man! Did we have a great time in Kansas City, or what?! The answer is: Indeed, we DID have a great time in Kansas City. We needed a win. In a big way. After the disappointments of not being able to take a job that Josh wanted, and not getting the house we [...] |
