Yes, they did. This is the van they thoughtfully left here for our use so we didn’t have to wrestle car seats. You think we’re going anywhere? Oh, hell no. This picture was taken out the bathroom window where last week I happily took a photo of buds.  Yah, they’re under there somewhere. So we […]

Where did the whole month go?   Julia was wishing so much to do something fun the end of last week, so we went to The Fieldhouse. We met Alicia and her mom and sister-in-law there and had a good time.  Good thing too–this was the last open play Fieldhouse day until next winter. When p.j.

 Here it is, wrapping up, ugh.   Sea of Mush.  Kind of liking that open space with that tree gone.  It was cold too–first came the rain today, then the snow. But inside the house it was sunny.
