I don’t usually get things done early. In fact, most times, I’m not even on time. But this year, trimming the tree came early. Early being a completely relative term. Victoria had to leave in the evening which meant we had a long afternoon to find a tree, bring it home and decorate like crazy. And that’s exactly what we… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the boys}
It happens most Sundays around here. Rain or shine. Indoors or out. Like it or not. Football. Chris is pretty much a football fanatic. And it seems to be catching. At least within the male population in this house. And even though most of our players probably aren’t going to be first-round draft picks, it really doesn’t matter. Because the… Read More
the thing about homeschool…
We’ve got two weeks of homeschooling under our belt. And, at y’alls suggestion, we’ve been taking it really easy to start. Which Asher has found quite refreshing, I think. He has run into one little downside to this homeschooling thing, though. Seems that even when you’re feeling under the weather… you can still do your work. The upside is that… Read More
here we go.
The angst over what curriculum to get was overwhelming. And the research was exhausting. Finally, finally I chose the books we’d start with for this year. We still have some room to add some things, but I wanted to wait to see how the basics went first. *ahem* Thank you all so much for weighing in with your ideas, I… Read More
homeschool?
Would love some insight into homeschool stuff. You know, curriculum, products you love… stuff. Because it’s been a long time since I put on my teacher’s hat. And I never really was very good, even back then. But my Asher’s tummy troubles are back. We’ve gotten rid of the offending “allergens”, but nothing is bringing relief. And I’m beginning to… Read More
first day of school
Mission accomplished. Just 179 more mornings to go. Everyone was riding high on adrenaline this morning, so really things went much better than I had anticipated. That, and the fact that I had followed y’alls advice. And had done pretty much everything – besides put the kids on the bus – last night. It was pretty stinkin’ dark this morning,… Read More
black and white and the red sox
Y’all know we are moving soon. Which means it’s time to do all the things we’ve wanted to do, but haven’t. Yet. So Chris jumped online the other night and bought some nosebleed seats at the Red Sox game. And the boys could. not. wait. In the 7th inning, they were able to move down to the 3rd base line….

Sunday Snapshot: {flashback}
Y’all are gonna have to bear with me. If you were around in the fall, you might remember that I posted pictures of my kids on their first day of school. And I apologize in advance. But the mama in me has to go there again. Because Friday marked the last day of the school year. Just look at tiny… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Asher is 12}
Today we celebrated Asher. He just turned 12. His choice for birthday cake wasn’t so much of a cake. It was more of a birthday banana split. With all the trimmings. Asher style. And more than celebrating his birth, today we celebrate who Asher is. And just how much we love him. And although I am admittedly a bit biased,… Read More
brothers in black and white.
I took these late the other night. It was one of those nights, you know the kind… when you stay up way too late, playing way too many rounds of Apples to Apples, and eating way too much leftover chocolate pie. And you get really silly. Hmmm, you don’t? Well, you should try it some time. Good stuff. The boys… Read More
