My dad

Today is Dad’s birthday. He’s not been feeling well for the past week - strepthroat and bronchitis. He was feeling some better today, so we went out to see him and Mom for lunch. We had a nice afternoon visiting from a distance - he didn’t want us to get too […]

Earth Hour 2008

Earth Hour is tonight. From 8-9pm local time, people around the world will turn off their lights in an effort to make a proclamation about climate change.
During this hour, I plan to light candles and play a board game with my children. I’m not sure that they’ll all go along with the board […]

senseless tragedy

This news article about the 11 year old girl in Wisconsin who died of diabetic ketoacidosis is so very sad. While her parents sat by and prayed for her, she suffered needlessly as her body shut down.
When my youngest child was diagnosed with type I diabetes at age 10 (she is now 11) in […]

Happy birthday to you!

Someone special has a birthday today.
Someone who goes sledding with her children, nieces and nephew on snow days,

decorates cakes with flair,

doesn’t mind getting soaked for a good view,

is not afraid to take Buckley’s…

if it will help her feel better in the end,

and is not afraid to let her inner sparkle show.

Happy Birthday […]

This cute little ladybug lives on my front […]

birthday girl

Today, my niece is 10 years old. I’m glad we live near her family so we can celebrate special days together. Several times this evening, she said that she feels OLD. Being double digits in age is a HUGE deal, you know.
She was cute about it and all the adults smiled […]

a dinosaur and a tree

I pass this dinosaur each day on my way to work.  I’m not sure why he’s at this particular place of business.  It’s some sort of concrete or statuary place, I think.  I don’t think it’s an icon… er, mascot… uhm, symbol… whatever it’s called.  My mind is blank right now when it comes to […]

Happy Easter

from my family to yours.

youngest daughter’s newest trick

Exciting days around here, huh?
