We took a short trek today to a neighboring county’s zoo. It’s a quaint little zoo that is open year round, but, of course, not all the animals are out when it’s cool outside. The best part is it is free until May and even then it’s free two days of the week! [mygal=freezoo] Emma [...]

We had a great day yesterday. We are taking a Spring Break this week from school and I felt like I had gotten a good start on my ‘to-do’ list for the week. Our day went downhill very fast when we arrived home from Emma’s flute lesson. I told the kids they could play outside [...]

Caleb was really into Easter this year and could hardly contain his excitement. Before going to bed, he decided he’d write a note to the Easter Bunny (remember, he’s the ‘king of notes’) and leave out some carrots for him in case he was hungry. Caleb REALLY wanted to know how he was able to [...]

Chris took yesterday, Good Friday, off of work. We were so excited to have him home for a day with nothing on the schedule to do so we wanted to make the most of it and do something fun. Chris and I made a list of options, ranging from miniature golfing or bowling to various [...]

With Easter being tomorrow, I’ve been in the spring mood as of late, although the weather here hasn’t. We have had some nice spring rains, but they’ve been mixed in with chilly temperatures and strong winds. We still haven’t had any spring flowers poking out or blossoming, although we are waiting for these quite anxiously! [...]

Caleb has been the ‘king of notes’ lately, especially at church. He writes little notes and passes them down the pew to me or brings them up to the organ before church starts. Today he decided to write one to our branch president. I happened to be playing the postlude at the organ when Caleb [...]

Our last month or so has seemed like we’ve constantly been on the go. I’ve been trying to figure out what is different, why we feel this way, and I think it’s because Chris has been so busy at work. He normally works late hours and has his regular monthly business trips to Europe but [...]

I know many of you participated in my nephew’s pencil drive so I wanted to post a follow-up so you can see what a difference you made! Thank you to everyone who participated!

It seems this is the time of year we always look forward to – Girl Scout Cookies! I remember selling them as a Girl Scout and now Emma gets to enjoy that part of it. Although, now the Girl Scouts aren’t supposed to go door-to-door for safety reasons, and really, that was always out of [...]

This morning we took a meal to a friend who just had a baby. I decided since we were out in the general vicinity of our city’s library, we would drop in to finally get Hannah her own library card. It’s not that we have been denying her a card but I dread going to [...]
