Mid-Week Recap
On Friday morning, I got home after working my 13 hour shift and had to stay awake. My father-in-law was going to pick up the kids for a sleep over that afternoon. There were some errands I had to do before he arrived, and when I got home I was truly fighting to stay awake. … Continue reading Mid-Week Recap
Life’s Little Moments
Some people just know how to throw a party. My kids were invited to a birthday party over the weekend. I was told that it was a "Fairy" theme. When I turned onto the street where the birthday girl lived, it was obvious which house she lived at. There were big/oversized flowers, mushrooms, log slices … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
Weekend Highlights
In all the years that 7-11 has given away free slurpees, I've never been able to get one. I'd always be told that they were sold out.

(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.

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.
