I was worried about Lucy so I picked her up to take her for a pick-me-up lunch date (haven’t done this in way too long). Claire found out about and begged to come too, so I lucked out with both girls in the middle of the day. We ended up on a bit of a…
I’ve been trying to get back on my “little things” bandwagon for a while now. I am so dang far behind that it’s overwhelming, so I’m just starting where I am (at least a tiny bit recent). So let’s go back to August for a minute where Lu and I found ourselves in Wisconsin again…
Lucy had her first high school choir performance a couple weekends ago. I’m sorry, I know I’m biased, but just LOOK at this darling girl of mine: Part of the “uniform” was clip-on pearl earrings and that particular girl of mine dutifully wore those puppies without a single complaint.

February started off with a little post-birthday date to Sedona with this guy: We did four awesome hikes and I think I was smiling the whole entire time. Way more on that weekend date to Sedona back HERE. Got ready for Valentine’s Day: Lots more on that back HERE. It was the tail-end of orange…

You know when you think something will NEVER happen, and then you find yourself right smack-dab in the middle of it happening? Well, that happened for me over President’s Day weekend. Because when at first I heard about this opportunity Lucy’s MCO choir would have to go to California and do a recording of their…
{post edit note: scroll down if you want to get to the main point of this post: thoughts on helping teens learn to minister, because I got a little carried away with the Valentine’s intro:)} And also, this is kind of cool that I can write different up in this paragraph…still learning all this new…
Gotta squeeze this little things dealio in before the end of January just for principle’s sake. But first of all, I just have to say it’s my future son-in-law’s birthday today and I love him! Carson, I hope you have the best-ever day with your cutie fiance. She is one lucky gal and you’re a…
How’s that for a long title? Ha! But I wanted to take a minute to talk about my very favorite part of Christmas every single year: children-gift-exchange on Christmas Eve. Can you see how excited Claire was to give this gift to Lucy years ago? Ok sorry had to include a few more. Because it…
