The caterpillar hatched. He was noticed late at night, so he was placed outside in the morning. We weren’t sure if he was okay or not. We hope so. The flower pots were planted, most of them anyway. Today I dragged the man to the garden store again and we brought home two kinds of […]
Tonight was their senior prom. They attend different high schools, so they kind of had to make a choice. This was her school’s prom. Last week we went to reserve the tuxedo. That was funny and sweet. James doesn’t remember the tux reservation procedure from the past. Heidi was married in 2009, so true, it’s
This week has flown by, lots of working. Above is a picture of James and Kari’s band concert. It’s the last one for James. He’s moving on–college in the fall. Dang, that went fast. This is Dan and Alicia’s little girl who rolled over already. This is going very fast too. This? This, I’m sure,
Dan texted me this morning, offering to come over and help with our computer problems. (That’s a picture of him and Grandpa and the little guy in the plumbing office.) I’m not saying no to that offer no matter what. We had issues. They are now resolved. Already tonight, this was transformational. A task that
It was a great program, a Sweetie singing. His brothers and sister and parents were there too, and a cousin and an aunt and uncle. We had fun. They sang crazy sons like On Top of Spaghetti. It was a great day. After this program we went back over to their house for a while,

We spent a couple nights up at the lake. Lydia, always the cooperative photo subject, invited her friend Sofia along. Sofia is an accommodating and easy-going kid. She can come with us anytime. Jay had wood cutting projects in mind. Tim was hauled in to help. But the afternoon was warm and sunny. It

There was a party end of last week to celebrate Mom’s birthday. It was a well-attended occasion. We sang Happy Birthday to this little buddy too: That’s Miss Cake-Cake under that sweashirt: This little girl of John and Dannell’s was talking to us like crazy. Here’s a mysterious and intriguing painting by my dad. I
There are those ones–you know the kind. They capture something so splendid and perfect about that moment, that you can hardly pull your eyes away. For me, this is one of them. It’s my mom’s parents, both grinning ear to ear, and my mother, the serious baby seated in the middle. The original is about
