Hello, I’m still here! Some of you may have noticed that it has been a long time since I’ve blogged. I don’t have any great excuses, except that I’ve been particularly busy lately – probably just like the rest of you.
My sweet boy CJ turned 6 recently and my Dad and stepmom drove up for [...]

Who knew DA could kick that high?

Now that Christmas is over we have spent a nice, relaxing week being lazy and cozy. In fact, I’m having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. It has rained a lot here and that makes it easier to stay inside and be close. We’ve spent our time playing board games, watching [...]

Today has been a very rainy day in our neck of the woods. It was overcast when I left home this morning, but I didn’t think it was going to rain right away. I had only gone a couple of miles down the road when it started pouring! I was somewhat unprepared when we got to CJ’s school. [...]
