Heidi sent a message asking how her baby was. She’s great. Busy, eating snacks, digging through everything, being a one year old. But that text had me laughing my head off. Yes, like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, plus drama. What a great Wednesday. Love, Grandma
It was rainy and dark outside, freezing rain and gloom, but warm and nice in the house. This little dog’s tail is growing along with her. A newf’s tail reaches to the floor when it’s not waving around. Sam’s tail cut a swath six feet wide, one way and the other, knocking

It was dark as evening in the house, kids played Legos in the basement. Later on after lunch, the sun came out and we

This beautiful baby was born one year ago. Look at those lips. Here she is, a year later, a fast, wild, amazing year. If someone would have told me one year ago how many huge changes were upon our family, I would not have even believed it. But it was true, and it’s all good.
