Last Sunday (yes, I could have posted this sooner, but I’m a little lazy, and there were more important things to write about lately), was had some rain come through. It was a weird weather day, with rain, then sun, then rain while it was sunny, and you could hear thunder to the south even […]
These are the words the neurosurgeon used regarding Elijah’s surgery today.
Liz called me tonight to let me know that the surgery was a great success today, they got “all” of the tumor (from what they can tell), and they believe it was a papilloma, the benign form of the tumor.

Noah and Caden are the only grandkids/nephews in our immediate families. Needless to say, they are often spoiled. Today is a perfect example.
My brother let me know a few days ago that there would be a package arriving soon for the boys. So sitting outside our front door when we got home was a […]
Well, not a marathon in the sense that it is normally used. But for a mom with young kids, 3 movies in 4 days is my version of a marathon!*
Technically, I only saw 2 movies in 4 days, but I went to the theater 3 times in 4 days, as I saw one of […]
