I came across this on Instagram tonight. That’s p.j. in the middle, her dad on the right, his little brother–her uncle on the left. (The uncle has been Jay’s trusty plumbing side-kick the last few weeks. Jay wishes he had enough work to keep him helping every day. He’s wiry and capable, has a good

m.c.’s birthday was earlier in the month, and Jay’s is now. So we had a party Saturday night for fun. We haven’t really all been together since Christmas time, so it was good to be together and eat and goof around for the evening. Here are all the ipad cousins, doing what they love to

working
Tomorrow we’re having a party for Jay’s birthday, so the afternoon was spent cooking and cleaning. The kids cleaned before we came home from vacation, and that’s been a while already. And it felt good to peel potatoes. I used to do this constantly, but now? Nope. I haven’t peeled a potato, could be possibly
