A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Fall is Here. My favorite time of year has arrived! Squeal! I absolutely love when the weather turns cooler, and the leaves start changing. It never lasts long enough, but I try to enjoy every second of it. 2.Learning to Drive. It’s hard to…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Whataburger. A little bit of Texas showed up in our neighborhood this week. We LOVE Whataburger and got to enjoy them on their opening day. Super Rockstar and I even came for a second time for our weekly lunch date. Really, there’s no reason…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Oliver–the Musical. Morgan recently expressed an interest in getting involved in theater. It was too late for auditions at his new school for their upcoming performance, but they needed behind the scenes help. He dove right in helping clean up and organize and spent…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Back to School for Grayson. Our summer breaks often end WAY too early for my taste.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Visit from a Friend. Grayson met Joey about 4 summers ago at our annual church camp.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The Birthday Boy. Super Rockstar recently celebrated his birthday. Well–maybe “celebrated” isn’t accurate, since he doesn’t typically thrill in getting another year older. Our boys, with all of their teenager teasing–don’t help matters much. They call him “Old Man” and “Grandpa’ most of the…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Kansas Kayaking. My Mom–who loves everything outdoors and adventurous–recently got her own kayak and has been paddling the section of the Arkansas (that’s pronounced Ar-KANSAS thank you very much) that flows through my home-town. She treated my sister, Super Rockstar, the boys and I…
