Caught cheating


Dear John,

Lucas caught you tonight cheating them out of some pages of their bedtime story. I could not stop laughing in the other room and when you heard me you couldn't stop laughing. It was a funny moment and I am sure a bit sad for you. No more skipping pages....they're growing up honey!!

xo, your loving wife

Give me a sign


At our church event tonight they unveiled the new sign that went up on top of one of our churches on Fountain Ave and L. Ron Hubbard Way.

It is beautiful.

And makes me very proud.

Pretty thankful tonight.

No more 5

Dear Luke,

We have been counting down for almost 70 days and the big day is finally here. I hope it was all you imagined. It was certainly full of legos. I am a little sad to see my 5 year old slip into a 6 year old. There was something still smallish about 5 and I will miss it a little.

I am so happy you are happy about your age.

Love, Mom

PS Last night I asked you how old you thought I was and you guessed 35....ouch. :)

Happy F & M Day!

I love kid projects for Father's and Mother's day. This year was no exception.

Mother's Day

Father's Day
(I dig this little nuts and bolts man)

classic

I wasn't convinced that moments like these actually occurred outside Norman Rockwell paintings. But here's the evidence. This was a 'moment' for me.
