Well, I can procrastinate no longer. I seem to be in a blogging rut. I am trying to get better but there is so much to do and it seems the days are shorter than the usual 24 hr. days that used to be plentiful. Lady the goat dog did not work out. See her [...]

Samuel just returned from 4-H camp today! This was his first camp experience, first school bus ride, and first time away from home without family. He was away for five days. I was definitely more nervous than he was. He is a very outgoing child who’s motto it seems is “A stranger is only a [...]

This weekend was so beautiful! 63 degrees and sunny, it was a taste of spring that we thought would never come. Hard to believe that the low tomorrow is supposed to be 19 degrees. Yikes. I was happy the warm weather was on the weekend so that Quinn could enjoy it with us. After church [...]

My church has a free before and after school program for the middle schoolers in the community. It is called A.C.T.I.O.N. or All Children Together In Our Neighborhood. It is a fantastic program for working families. It gives middle school kids a safe place to go before mom and dad get off work. There are [...]

Our last field trip was to the Nashville Children’s Theater. We saw the play Tom Sawyer. I think that is one of the best plays that I have seen there. They have all been good but this was exceptional. It was the perfect set to depict everything that they had to do. Both boys were [...]
