Home for a long weekend, we were able to celebrate Rick’s birthday as a family…….ALL TOGETHER!  The first family birthday in 9 months in which we’ve all been together.
Rick is a pie kind of guy so we made several pies while he was home, almost hitting all of his favorite pies.  Fresh picked peach-raspberry crisp, [...]

Skylar’s on a good find streak right now.  We’re praying that it continues ; )
Our family’s computer collection consists of a 7 year old Dell desktop computer.  Its been faithful.  But its old.  I call it our Dinosaur.  Its full, its slow, its cranky.  The MS Word program has glitched and won’t print any of [...]

The rain started and Callan [...]

Yesterday, May 9, 2010, was also the 50th Anniversary of “The Pill.”
Sadly ironic, isn’t it?  A day to celebrate [...]
