As I'd hoped, it was a nice day yesterday with the boys away. LOVE them to pieces, but sometimes you just need a little break from your own kids!! ha. I worked and worked all day, as we are approaching a deadline with my team and I wanted a very productive day after taking the… Continue reading Nice day
Swim is officially over!! I didn't get the greatest shots of Asher swimming this time. Just wasn't really sitting in the right spot, I guess. But here is one of him getting situated on the blocks. And now, swim is over until September 6th. His coach told him to mostly stay out of the pool,… Continue reading A little breathing room…Summer phase 2?
I've been missing the opportunity to come here and just blab on a little about random topics/ updates! As much as I absolutely LOVE writing travel recaps (well, they are a lot of work to put together- but I love reading them when I'm done, and I strongly believe my future self will love them… Continue reading Recently

So, just a very quick check- in on a couple things! 1- Asher and Ivan are back from Iowa. They left and drove there Friday morning… Continue reading 2 second check in
Hey blog world. This has not been my "most favoritest week" ever (I know that's grammatically incorrect, I just felt like saying it that way). All's good, just feeling edgy and kinda stressed out, but, c'est la vie. Some times are like that. The kids are staying up TOO LATE (has been pushing 10:30 the… Continue reading Random check in
Yesterday we had to finally say goodbye to our sweet hamster, Flint. If you recall, I mentioned a while back that he developed a tumor on his belly this past winter. We had him in to the vet two different times. She said that at his age (~2 years old), there was really nothing to… Continue reading The hamster with many names
Someone referred to the month of May as "May-hem" in a comment recently, and I LOVED that!!! Truer words have never been spoken. The mayhem of May kind of snuck up on me. Things kept getting added to the calendar, slowly, in such a way that I didn't fully realize what we were dealing with.… Continue reading May-hem coming to an end….
