Finding time for myself has always been a challenge for me. The time to tell myself to go out and take some healthy time is okay. That’s it’s okay to take 30 min, or 40 min, to take a walk, ride my bike, or (try) to run. 😉 This week, that starts. Exercise for me […]

We actually got a summer break this year. No more year-round school meant we got about 10 weeks of summer break. We’ve made good use of the time with a family vacation, a family reunion, and various weekly activities (not to mention the occasional Pajama Day 😉 ) Sammy, we have learned, is a very […]

(Sammy couldn’t stand it any longer and jumped in hoping to catch a duck!) 2010 is over. It ended much quicker than we wanted it to, but days always go too fast when you spend your time being sick or taking care of whoever is currently sick. This was the reason for the unexpected blog […]

Sometimes Mondays are ruff.

Another fuzzy face from the archives. Today I was attacked by the 50 ft Migraine Monster and spent most of the day in bed. Fortunately, I’m feeling better now but it sure was a task taking the boys to school and picking them up today. Thank goodness for left overs so dinner was easy. I […]

Don’t let the snuggly face fool you. He’s been a fuzzy monster this week. We have the back yard restricted a bit to keep him from digging where we want the grass to recover. (darn doggie noses) This week he’s been bending the wire fence down, jumping over it and having a hey-day peeping at […]

It’s been a very different week for us here, which I may share at a later time when things have settled down to reality. For now, it feels like we’re doing the chicken run, you know, when their heads are cut off (or shot off, like I once saw my Aunt do. Impressive and upsetting […]

Here’s a fuzzy face flashback! I’ve been looking thru pictures and died when I was going thru Sam’s puppy pictures! Happy Friday!

Everybody seems to be into DIY, do it yourself, projects nowadays. Including Sammy! Behold, his DIY Doggy Door. I realize this picture is awful, it was taken with my cell phone. I find it so hilarious that I can’t delete it from my phone! Several months ago he found a hole in the screen door […]

It’s somebody’s Birthday today! This week was pretty busy with a sick little boy, Valentine party prep, puzzle-mania, and TaeKwonDo (where Owen showed his intimidating side much to my amusement and re-enactment). But today Sammy is one! We’re not going crazy with a puppy party, but he will get some extra salmon yummies today!
