Where The Rubber Meets the Road and the Vomit Meets the Mattress

You may recall that our jobs require my wife and I to drive 45-70 minutes to work. Then, the same amount of time back home - every day. My car just turned 93,000 miles, while my wife’s just turned 89,000. They are both a 2024 Chevy Trax. We knew we needed tires. The last couple … Continue reading Where The Rubber Meets the Road and the Vomit Meets the Mattress →

Friday Photo Flashback

I suppose I could have skipped the Friday Photo Flashback this week. I posted quite a few photos yesterday for my anniversary after all. However, I did find one photo worth sharing again. It takes us back to St. Patrick's Day of 2022. Ella is two here and Andre is about 5 months old. My … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Bling and Bingo

Last week my daughter cheered for the last basketball game of the season. She truly enjoyed learning the cheers, shaking the pom poms, and yelling in her cheerleader cone. They had said that the teams would be getting medals at the end of the night, but we had no idea that the cheerleaders would too. … Continue reading Bling and Bingo →

The Findin’ of the Green

Since when is this a thing? My daughter got up yesterday morning and ran out into the living room to see what the Leprechaun left for her. I can sum that up for you in one word - nothing. I know that all the elementary school kids make a leprechaun trap every year in an … Continue reading The Findin’ of the Green →

At that time, I remember the excitement and all of the unknowns. Six years later, she has blossomed into such an amazing little girl. … Continue reading Happy 6th Birthday, Ella →

Shake Your Pom Pom

Friday night, Ella made her debut as a cheerleader. Their group of gals cheered at a basketball game. At the beginning of the game, they dimmed the lights and introduced the cheerleaders and the teams. The girls made a "tunnel" that the players ran through as they shook their pom poms in the air. Before … Continue reading Shake Your Pom Pom →

Life’s Little Moment’s

One of my blogger friends, Britta, is so good at finding joy in the little things in life. She often blogs about them and I love how she writes about their impact on her life. I tell you about that because all in all, this week has been uneventful for me. However, there were some … Continue reading Life’s Little Moment’s →

Happy New Year, Again.

I've been meaning to write a little recap of post-Christmas happenings, and I just haven't had a second to do it. So here are just a few highlights. The boys and me. That Three Stooges poster behind us was a complete coincidence. My boys and I got together the weekend after Christmas. The Christmas holiday … Continue reading Happy New Year, Again. →

Friday Photo Flashback

I had meant to post this photo last Friday, but posted a Christmas recap instead. I know that we are into the new year, but it is too cute not to share. This is Ella in 2020. She'd be 9 months old here. I remember that I bought a Santa hat that read "My First … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →
