Yesterday I posted about my daughter’s last day of kindergarten. After that post, my wife and I were surprised with some photos we had taken a week or so ago in honor of the occasion. The timing was perfect! I wish I had room to share them all, but instead, here are my favorites! She … Continue reading Friday Photo(s) Flashback

She’s Off To First!
As I stood with my son in the driveway this morning, I watched Sam backing out to take Ella for her last day of Kindergarten. At the end of the driveway, she shouted out the window to Andrew, "Make sure dad doesn't cry!" My family knows me so well. You would think that this kind … Continue reading She’s Off To First!

Mid-Week Lookback
Just this week I was reminded that my wife and I got our new vehicles. We each got a Chevy Trax. What is had to believe is that just two years later, mine hit a big milestone. She hit 100,000 miles driving south on I-75 on my way to work. Here's to the next 100,000! … Continue reading Mid-Week Lookback
Song Lyric Sunday
For Song Lyric Sunday, Jim Adams has asked us to pick a song written or performed by someone who was born in the month of June. It is probably a coincidence that today would have been Dean Martin's 109th birthday, but it worked out nicely for this feature. Dean is my all time favorite singer, … Continue reading Song Lyric Sunday
Life’s Little Moments
My brother took some time off from work last week and came up for a visit. Sadly, I worked most of the week, but we had some time during the weekend to catch up. The kids are always happy to see their uncles. We got to spend Friday evening with them before the kids went … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
(Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback
Earlier in the week, I recapped our Memorial Day Weekend. I found a couple pictures that I wanted to share, but didn't necessarily feel that any one of them would be worthy of an entire blog. So technically, we are "flashing back" but only a little bit. Our dog, Mabel, is spoiled. She assumes that … Continue reading (Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback
A Memorable Memorial Day
It was nice to have a couple of family days this week. I don’t work Mondays, so I took Tuesday as my holiday. I was still busy, but busy doing things with my wife and kids. On Monday morning, my wife saw that Tractor Supply Company had fruit trees on sale. She’s been talking about … Continue reading A Memorable Memorial Day

To mark another trip around the sun, here are some pictures I have posted in the past: 6th (or 7th) birthday. Not sure if that thing with the yellow base is a candle or not. The first birthday gift from my daughter - a treasure! Celebrating birthday #52 with a nice cake from the kids … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Recapping Past Few Days
It's been busy our way! We've been on the go since Saturday. We had to so some running around in preparation for Mother's Day. We made cards, bought flowers and a big cookie that was supposed to look like a tic tac toe board with hearts and "Mom" in the middle of it. However, on … Continue reading Recapping Past Few Days
