It’s been another busy few weeks. I really don’t know where the times goes, but it definitely goes fast. I’m going to start off with Thanksgiving. We had a really nice one and we’re still blessed with Great Grandmom helping with the gravy. Her’s is so darn good. We had a wonderful time and the …

It’s been a whirlwind last couple of weeks for this guy. He’s been applying for prep school to gage his options. Last weekend, we were up bright and early so that he could take an entrance exam. Long four hours for him. Perhaps longer for us as we sat around trying to kill time. We …

It’s been an incredibly beautiful week. The boy has been off for fall break. No trips for us but he did get some fishing in. Unfortunately, he didn’t catch anything. This week, Zachary also put in video for mustard to review. We haven’t done it for awhile. Dr. House didn’t have much negative to say…basically …

It’s been a pretty quick week. The boy did a Baseball Showcase at the Prep. And we finally got to see inside the school. As the parents waited on the upstairs track field, we watched the boys doing different drills. Pretty cool, the Head Admissions Officer came over to say hello. When we asked our …

But sadly, we’re back in the grip of reality. onward and upward. This kid started his first day of 8th grade yesterday. And his first week of baseball practice on …

We spent three long days driving to Ohio. Got to see the sun rise in Sheridan. Everyone became a little testy with limited sleep and close quarters in a van. But we still found a way to laugh in a Subway in Altona, Iowa…at 9pm at night. We arrived in Columbus to happy dogs…a quick …

Today was our final day in the parks. We hit up the Going to the Sun Road, East Glacier. Unfortunately, we lost one set of grandparents when we couldn’t find parking at the lodge. We spent the day driving and then hiked a quick trail with an overlook of the lake. I believe it was …
