It was a year of highs and lows, but never have I been so ready for a year to be over. (I’m not even going to touch politics or the state of our country but if you know me at all, you know which of the two that falls under.) January The year started by…

Well, at least that I’ll be there to take pictures of. Maybe the last one they’ll all be together? Who knows! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a great picture because they had to be at school at 6am for Senior Sunrise, and since obviously the sun wasn’t up yet when they left the house, I had…

Just like that, junior year is over. They’ve gotten taller, their hair has gotten messier. It was an eventful year for our family, and since I have neglected to post much, I’ll just go over it all now. I was on sabbatical August through October, which was fun. I traveled a bunch. To Canada, Florida,…

Posted on time! Woot! It’s been a hell of a week – George got robbed half a block from our house at 8:45 in the evening last weekend (he’s okay, just battered and bruised – nothing broken), plus lots of other random crap. I’m happy to say that I’ll be on a cruise ship with…

We had a truly magical day on Tuesday when we got about a foot of snow! It was insane, it was wonderful, it was the break from reality we all needed. Wednesday was beautiful and sunny and cold, and the snow didn’t melt. It’s still on the ground as of Thursday afternoon and it’s still…

I will not say the past three months flew by, because they didn’t. They passed at a reasonable speed. I feel like I’ve been away for a long time, and I’m actually ready to go back. Or, at least, I’m not sad to be going back. No matter how much one might love one’s job,…

The penultimate first day of school picture. I’m fine. Totally fine. Last year: Freshman year: And, of course, the very first year: But the best part was this: Miles in the driver’s seat.

We just got back from our family vacation to New York, and while we were there, I took two Peloton classes live in the studio. I feel like information is kind of hard to find (or maybe I didn’t look that hard) about what it’s like to do classes live, so I am going to…

Okay okay last year I did pretty good on the monthly recap posts. This year, not so much. But we just wrapped up Q1 so let’s see if I can handle quarterly posts instead. This is all very out of order. I made lasagna, we had king cake, we went and got pizza for my…

Either yesterday or today marks twenty years since we bought our house. Twenty years! I will never forget the feeling I got when I walked through the front door for the first time. I immediately knew this was our home. Of course, did I have any clue what twenty years later would look like? I…

Okay, seriously, April went by way too fast. What did we doooooo? Easter! Mom and Larry came over. I made a delicious chocolate cake and other things. And we got a family pic. I donated blood, and while I ended up with bruising on both arms (my veins aren’t as hearty as you would expect…

March was obviously kind of low-key, because I haven’t felt the need to post anything since the monthly picture. Today they had their 15 year well visits, and I was excited to see how tall they were. I assumed Oliver and I were the same height, 5’10”. I was right and wrong. We are the…
