As I write this, it is Friday night at 7:01 p.m. and my son, the sixth grader, is doing his math homework – completely of his own accord. Yes, I am proud. And also yes, I felt his forehead in case he was feeling under the weather. It’s Friday, friends, and I couldn’t be happier […] Read more…
Another weekend is almost in the books and we spent ours swapping kids. Come again? It was fall break in school and Joe was fortunate to be asked by a good friend of his to accompany his family to Lake of the Woods, which is in the far northwest corner of Minnesota – a good […] Read more…

We don’t have big plans – just a little babysitting of our niece, Miss Morgan, tomorrow (yay!) and then catching up on life, otherwise known as groceries, laundry, fall garden […] Read more…
This guy started middle school – 6th grade! – yesterday. He didn’t seem overly nervous about it. Yes, he was a little anxious, declaring it seemed awkward to walk down to the end of the street by himself to catch the bus. (He actually has never ridden the bus to elementary school; I have always dropped him off […] Read more…
I can’t believe it’s Sunday night already. And it’s weird because I think I’m a little sad that Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow. Usually I’m ready to get back to the structure and routine of the school year. Somehow tonight, though, I’m mourning how quickly the summer went by. It was a great summer, […] Read more…
