Okay, this was last night, Lydia working on math surrounded by gingerbread. She has a math tutor this year, well worth the money. This lovely woman, a real estate client, an engineer, agreed to tutor her, two 45 minute sessions a week. It’s helping tremendously. These were taken in church this morning. Lydia was the […]

That’s a big, giant meatloaf above. Here are the people who agreed to come over and eat it on a cold Tuesday night. If they could not come tonight, then I wouldn’t see these babies until who knows when, and that’s just too darn long. Dan and Alicia had mercy on me and indulged this

We drove out to my parents for the weekend. They live in town, but also have this little place in Wisconsin, the home place. So we went there and goofed around, and ate good food, and it was lovely and relaxing. The dress up clothes are always a favorite. And here they shot at old

They went this week: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. They had to be there between 7:30 and 8:00 am and went until 5pm This was appalling to them. They sleep until 10 normally, never have to do anything for 9 solid hours! Well, they were up, teeth brushed, hair, shoes and socks, bathing suits packed.
Tim reads to me every day so I can observe his progress (and enjoy his company.) He’s doing well, reading amazingly much better than a year ago. Anyway, today when he threw himself across my bed with his book, I noticed the bookmark he was using was an old sock. It looked like a dirty
We finally made it back to the pool again on a beautiful afternoon. This morning were thunderstorms and the kids’ soccer camp was held in the gym. But the afternoon, great. This kid was thrilled to see Tim. Tim likes to play with him too, but honestly the kid beats on him to the
