I’m not sure there has been a dull moment yet this summer, although I’m sure the kids would disagree since they had to spend one whole painful day of being grounded from technology. It was rough…maybe worse on me. But after about a week of recovering from DC we had a visit from my brother, […]
Bright and early the morning after the kids got out of school and Charlie had a piano recital, we headed to the airport for a trip to DC with all of the Hirschman’s. I learned quite a bit about our country, our history, walking many blocks daily, riding the subway, and sweating profusely. We had […]
I can’t really be old enough to say that I have a jr higher. I actually remember my parents speaking these very words. But Charlie went and turned 11, going into 6th grade, actually sits in jr high youth group at church. He was very happy to celebrate with his cousin Lucy who turned 10 […]

Life has been crazy busy and I keep thinking, (and hearing from certain family members) you haven’t written much on your blog lately. Not sure where to begin. But rather than bore everyone with details I’ll just post some of the latest pics. My girl is growing up so fast Judah was in a […]
I knew there was something on my list of things to do that was missing. Good thing I have boys to remind me.
I was sick a few days ago which is an occurrence that doesn’t happen often. Usually I can shake it off. I mean, as a mom, I have to. But what started out as just not feeling so well turned into fever, chills, aches, misery. These symptoms lasted all of about 20 hours, thankfully. However, […]
