Update: They finally came and picked up the dryer we've been trying to send back. Now we have to wait for them to refund the money so we can purchase the correct dryer. In the meantime, there have been a lot of laundromat trips. Andrew came to the laundromat with me one day this week. … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments

Father’s Day
Happy Father's Day to my "Dad" friends! I hope you are being celebrated today. Andrew and Ella couldn't wait for today, so they gave me my gifts yesterday.

I apologize for not giving an update sooner. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes for our daughter. Ella's surgery went well and she came home Thursday evening.

Friday Photo Flashback
Today's photos are not only a flashback, but they tie into a current situation as well. You may remember that last fall, Andrew was playing soccer. I say "playing soccer," but it is more of a game oriented introduction to the game. There were days that he loved playing and days that he hated playing. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
