It is happening. This little girl of mine, my baby, is getting ready to start HIGH SCHOOL! I have all kinds of mixed emotions about that business. And all kinds of questions too: How did the time fly so fast? How is she going to do maneuvering that humongous school?…

I am going to see if I can start to stay a little more up-to-date around here. Like, let’s talk about what happened this last weekend. Started out with Lucy and I heading to Wisconsin for her doctor appointments. These mother/daughter dates are usually pretty awesome. I mean no one…

As I mentioned back HERE, Lucy is not a huge fan of changes. In fact, she fights against them like nobody’s business. Sometimes this is quite exhausting for her mother. Now, I totally understand that change can make anyone anxious, especially if you’re dealing with diminishing eyesight. So I don’t…

I try to follow Lucy’s example a lot in life. But lately, especially with a new year and new beginnings, I’m trying to follow her example of taking action. Man, she’s good at it! I had to sneak a little picture of her notes at church because they pretty much…

A few months ago Lucy determined that “bread” is not part of the dessert or candy category (things she decided to give up for 2020), and fell in love with pumpkin bread. It is interesting (and tough) to try to teach Lucy where things are in the kitchen. I feel…

The school nurse from the junior high asked me to bring Lucy in one morning before school started for her vision check. It was strange to be in that echoy school, all the front office so sweet and happy to see Lucy again. I figured they had called us in…

I cannot let this day pass me by without writing about the things I love most about this girl right here: Because my BABY is FOURTEEN! We had her annual IEP the other day. Dave and I sat in a classroom before school started in a socially distanced circle with…

Thanks for all the good missionary questions on the last post about our new missionary Grace. I answered them back in that comment section, but I think we’ll need to do another Q&A once she gets in the swing of all that jazz. I think we’ll be on a steep…

Lucy sometimes takes some cajoling when it comes to switching things up. We have to sweet-talk her like nobody’s business into anything that is different. For example, we will suggest a new movie to watch and she will go into it kicking and screaming, but then it ends up being…
