Up To Snow Good

We had our first big snow over the weekend. It's always fun to watch how a puppy who has never seen snow will react to it. It was early, like 4am early, and Mabel made it clear that she had to go outside. As I opened the door, I could see that there were about … Continue reading Up To Snow Good →

Friday Photo Flashback

Wednesday night into Thursday, we got hit with some decent snow. Travel was treacherous and they were telling folks to stay home. Naturally, people with a sleep study scheduled, still showed up! Urgh! I loved playing in the snow as a kid. We made snow forts and such and would be frostbitten when it was … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

A Snowy Lesson

It snowed this week. It was a bit more than flurries and we received about an inch. It was just enough to make driving a bit treacherous and the yard beautiful. With just over two weeks until Christmas, I do hope the snow remains on the ground. I am partial to a white Christmas. There … Continue reading A Snowy Lesson →

A Couple Dad Stories

Weekend in the Dollhouse? When people ask me if I watch certain shows on television, I have to remind them that I have toddlers at home. The shows I watch are the ones the kids watch: Bluey, Miss Rachel, Work It Out Wombats, Fireman Sam, and my daughter's favorite, Gabby's Dollhouse. On the show, the main character … Continue reading A Couple Dad Stories →

White Weekend

Michigan got hit with it's first real winter storm this weekend. It was no joke. It started Friday afternoon after I got to work. In the short couple hours I was there, the snow accumulated quickly. It didn't take long for patients to start cancelling their appointments for that evening. Believe it or not, despite the 6-8 inches of … Continue reading White Weekend →

Winter Karma

We woke up today to about an inch and a half of snow. There is more on the way before the week is done. It's been fun to see how Daisy reacts to the snow. She is not quite sure what to do with it. She sniffs it. She rolls in it. She eats it. It's quite a scene. When she … Continue reading Winter Karma →

Happy Hallo-Christmas?

In Michigan you never know what Trick or Treating will be like. Most of the time, it is cold or rainy. I can only remember one or two times where it was mild. Yesterday was just crazy! Sam realized that the kids hadn't carved pumpkins that afternoon. So we sat on the kitchen floor cleaning … Continue reading Happy Hallo-Christmas? →

Hodge Podge of Highlights

The past week has been fairly typical. Nothing too out of the ordinary for me. There have been some nice highlights, however. Sunday, we got a little snow. Sam promised the kids that we could go out and play in it. So we all bundled up and went outside as the snow fell. Andrew LOVES … Continue reading Hodge Podge of Highlights →

Pre-Holiday Weekend Wrap Up

It is hard to believe that we are just 4 days away from Christmas. Someone observed that time moves a whole lot faster in December if you are an adult. This is so true! As a kid, it seemed to crawl by as we waited for Christmas. SNOW! This weekend kept us pretty busy. We … Continue reading Pre-Holiday Weekend Wrap Up →

Making Spirits Bright

I saw a thing on Facebook that made me laugh. It said, "It only snows in November because people decorate early for Christmas." Blame me if you wish, but we needed to brighten things up over this way! There has been a lot going on in my life, some of which I have shared and … Continue reading Making Spirits Bright →
