Well, here we are on Sunday night yet again. How was your weekend? Ours can best be shown in photos: Look who came to visit us for the weekend! Our niece, Miss Morgan, who is 2 (and a half) and did a pretty decent job of keeping us busy, busy, busy! Morgan is obsessed with painting! […] Read more…
I am sitting here writing this post on Sunday night and sipping a very refreshing glass of rose, very grateful for a three-day weekend that makes it seems like we’ve had two Saturdays in a row.

You guys. I’m having one of those evenings where I am quite literally exhausted. I feel like I can’t expend any more energy than I already have today. I got my kiddo to school, I worked, I put supper on the table, I’m done. (Okay, I ordered pizza and opened a bottle of wine, but still.) […] Read more…
I had a moment last night. I was sitting in the piano room, listening to Joe practice his percussion and I looked over at him and just, well … sigh. Who is this young man who is nearly as tall as me? Who looks so grown up? Who is working so intently on learning this […] Read more…
