We were back at it again today after three weeks away. Elin is fine, totally fine to stay with the kids who are distance learning at home, no worries. So this is a good Welcome Back story: I made lunch. I heated up some leftover Sloppy Joe meat and put it on buns. When the […]

Do you see that little girl wearing her Frozen shoes on the couch? Heidi asked her about this. We don’t normally wear shoes inside at all, let alone on the furniture. It’s to protect her toes from her savage, biting sister who stands up next to the couch now and last week, I had to
Happy Birthday! It was such a great day, surprises galore, including this Slip and Slide left on the front steps by friends. This was a great day, and I hope the year ahead is wonderful too. With your sense of humor and big ideas, it’s bound to be great. I’ve said it dozens of times,

Today it did. After the rain, it felt good to be outside. Hair blowing in the breeze. This is called, “Hot dog” on two swings. First she fell off and I told her that was melted marshmallow. We laughed. So many problems with the shoes. If it’s just dirt, ignore it. Only take off your
