Lucy told me a month or so ago that her biggest regret from junior high was that she didn’t try out for the basketball team. I somehow hoped she had forgotten about that. Which makes me feel awful because what kind of mom wants her child to forget about a dream? It just feels wrong…
I posted that Lucy’s basketball season was all wrapped up back HERE. But that actually wasn’t true because a sports season is never really wrapped up until the final banquet, right? So let’s just enjoy these sweet pictures my friend sent me from that big night. Sweetest friends. Sweetest coach. That woman is the real…
Lucy has always thrived in being “part of something,” so being the team manager for the basketball team has filled up her heart in so many ways. It’s not all butterflies and rainbows, of course, as nothing really is, is it? I think sometimes she’s holding herself together with every part of strength she can…
We may as well start out this February wrap with a volleyball picture, because boy howdy, this was a condensed volleyball season (18s club season is packed full so all the committed players can get moving with their college teams before summer rolls around).

Ok let’s get down to business and crank out a recap of January. We started out this brand new year with a little double date to the Fiesta Bowl with these two: Max and Abby were in Texas this Christmas, we missed them but got them before Christmas so we survived:) (The Fiesta bowl along…
I always do a “snapshot” of how each new year looks right at the beginning. Because I like to hold onto memories like nobody’s business. And here we are already half way through MARCH and Grace is getting home from her mission TODAY, so I figure I better get busy snapshotting it up real quick…
We are getting so far behind on these “little things” posts so I’m doing this one speedy-quick. Links at the bottom and intermixed in with the pictures if you want more details. Here’s how November went down…it was a nutty month I have to say! We started out with our own, personal “dinner Halloween” where…
Sometimes when I’m reading (or listening to) a good book I slow way down at the end. I’m just not quite ready for it to end. I situate my time and myself just so so that I can fully take in all the culminating events as it wraps up. I felt that same wanting-to-hold-on-to-the-very-last-drop a…
High school sports are the best. In my opinion not only are they awesome for the kids (teamwork, work ethic, endorphin stimulation, leadership opportunities, strength development mentally and physically), but let’s be honest, they are pretty awesome for the parents too. I think I mentioned before that sometimes I get a little smile on my…
