little things

Yep, going back to April for a minute. And I’m sneaking it in late on a Thursday night so it can fly under the radar a little because it is OLD news by now. But I love to keep all this stuff together so here we go. April was that…

It is interesting to think about March (wasn’t that like 55 years ago??), back in the day when the world was “normal” and no one really had any clue what was going to hit it. Little did we know it was the month the world turned on it’s side and…

Let’s take a minute to go back to February for record’s sake. It seems crazy to me that this was only a couple months ago! But there we were, Claire and some cousins went to watch other cousins compete in the state cheer competition: (They did awesome, so proud of…

Well, today marks the first day of official on-line school here in the desert. Everyone at this moment is nestled in front of their chrome books and laptops (college kids), working hard, trying to figure out this strange new mode of life. Every once in a while I stop in…

The beginning of September found us situating these girls here in Hawaii. Yes, it was a tough job, but SOMEONE has to do it! Loved watching Elle take that little sis of hers under her wing. Their relationship has grown so much over there as college girls, and I love…

First of all, I love all the interest for instructions on how to hold your own “Children for Children” concert. I’m figuring out the best way to send that and I’ll send ASAP! It’s such a great way for kids to be involved in reaching out. Letting them pick the…
