Life’s Little Moments

This week, I felt like I really didn't feel like me. I'm not sure that even makes sense. I'm not sure what is "off," but something is. Hoping that I can figure out what the deal is. What's weird about it, is that there were some great things that happened this week. This week, the … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Daddy Daughter Date Night

Last night, my daughter went to the Daddy Daughter Dance. She’s been excited since she heard about it. She was even more excited when she heard the theme was “Wicked.” My wife got her dressed up and even put on a splash of perfume. She was super excited to show me her dress. She looked … Continue reading Daddy Daughter Date Night →

May I Have This Dance?

Sam pointed out to me that next to Christmas, the day of the Daddy Daughter Dance is what our daughter looks forward to most. She is SO right. We've been counting down the days since Christmas!

Life’s Little Moments

Tax Time We did our taxes this weekend. Well, we didn't, but our tax guy did. It's always nice to know that you're getting a refund. What was even nicer was to know that we are getting back money from the state taxes, too. It's never really a lot of money, but it is better … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Ella Being Honest – and Funny!

I truly need to organize the funny things that Ella says (and funny stories in general) and keep them in a book. Here are just a couple examples: Sam was getting the kids ready for bed this week.
