Pre Halloween Festivities
I think Halloween gets longer and longer every year. Not that I mind. I do love a good holiday! This week Tatie had red ribbon week at school (that’s D.A.R.E. week to us 80’s children). And on Tuesday they asked the kids to dress up as what they wanted to be when they grew up. […]

Injuries, Illnesses & Inaugurations Oh My!
What a year it has been already. Between the flu, pulled hamstrings, the tendonitis, the allergies, and the strep throat this year is shaping up to be a doozie! Kinsey and Sydney are both taking the next two weeks off of CC to try and help them recover from their injuries so that they can […]

End of summer blues
School starts tomorrow and I can’t tell you enough that this summer has been FAR TOO SHORT! *sigh* I do enjoy having my children home. I listen at church to all the women excited to send their children off to school to get some “peace”. Is it weird that I prefer them home? I send […]

Bon Anniversaire!

Sydney’s Sleepover

Oh My Edward!
When I arrived at one of my recent Twilight speaking engagements I was thrilled to see the librarian had purchased an Edward standee! My girls (whom I take with me to most of my shows) were excited to get a picture with Edward before the event. And if you live under a rock and haven’t […]

Yummy Treats and Summer Fun
For years I have longed for a time when the girls could camp out in the back yard under the stars the way I did when I was a kid. When we lived in Louisville our home was not fenced and so back yard camp outs had to be supervised by Dad because of the […]

A New Look
Its that time of year again! Time for new pictures of my girls and a new look for my blog. They are growing up far too fast for my liking. Todd was particularly dismayed at their grown-upness. But alas, what can you do but to admire the beauty. 😀 And I have to add that […]

Elementary School Graduate
This year marks the end of Sydney’s Elementary school education. She is growin’ up! At her school they have a Fifth Grade Awards Night that is followed the next day by the Fifth grade field day. We were in the middle of our move to the new house during this last week of school so […]

Honors and Smarts
Kinsey came home last week with her second trimester report card sporting all “A’s”. The school puts on a program called “Goal Getters” after every reporting period. Kids who have had outstanding achievement during the last trimester receive awards. Kinsey was the proud recipient of no less than 5 awards today! We couldn’t be more […]
