little things

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…

Gotta eek this in before it morphs into MARCH. Time flies when you’re having fun. And also when you’re stressed out. Ha! Let’s go back to December for a minute though. Because it was a good one. We reluctantly pulled down all our Thanksgiving stuff: And turned ourselves into Christmas…

Yep I’m going back to June. Skip this post if you’re yawning at summer and on to carving pumpkins and making soup. The beginning of June found us with these two girls just finishing their adventure at girls camp together: It was the sweetest experience to have them there together,…
