Lincoln

Mom took Lincoln home for a couple of nights this week. The boys are always asking to go to Grandma’s and always sad when it’s not their turn. I love that they have the opportunity to do this now. They’ll all be in preschool next year and won’t be able to do [...]

Adorable Grace

Grace had cheer Tuesday night. She did cartwheels all the way down the mat and was quite proud of herself. I could see it in her smile when she looked up at me. I smiled big and gave her a thumbs up sign. She started giving me signs – pointing here [...]

The kids had a great time and didn’t want to come home.  Big surprise.  We’ve all been cooped up and stressed out in [...]

Another “Snow Day”

Although today is for cold, not snow. Temps got as low as -41 with the wind chill. Brrr…it’s cold.
As for me…I spent around 4 hours at the doctor’s office being diagnosed with a kidney stone. Oh, and I find out my results on Monday from last Monday’s liver test. Initial tests [...]
