‘Budding’ Artists ~ Galle...
Keep in mind… Hayden is a kid who never even bothered to color in the lines, so when I walked in the door after work and was presented by his latest creation I’ll admit my first thought was, “Who really did that?” My second was “If you did it, who helped you?” I soon learned that the answer to question on [...]

The Card Read….
“Happy October 11th”
What a pleasant and welcome surprise. I just love surprises, it isn’t very often that they come by currier, in a box with a sweet card. I am so blessed to have such a sweet and wonderful husband. A lovely bouquet of delicate lillies have a special spot upon our dining table, where they radiate warm wi [...]
Following in Mom’s Ballet Slipp...
I don’t know who was more excited, my baby girl or me! Gilli and her best friend, A had their first Pre-Ballet class several weeks ago. The first day, the girls were so excited that they had to get their ballet clothes on three hours before class. Of course I let them get dressed so I could get some pictures of them in their tights, [...]
Seasons
There is so much to appreciate about each Season, isn’t there?

We are going NUTS around here!
It is often funny what tunes, jingles or phrases catch the ear of a child.
Recently, Hayden was watching “Unwrapped” (one of our favorite shows) and a catchy commercial was aired for Planters Peanuts. Hayden loved it so much, he recorded it on his camera so he could download it and listen to it. You can only imagine how tickled [...]
Q4282 1936-1972
Four years ago, on birthday 36, it really hit home how young my dad was when he died at 36, in 1972. Yesterday, it really hit home how young I was in 1972.
My son and I have done a lot together. We’ve fished and camped and ridden bikes. We’ve gone to hockey games and baseball games. We’ve played catch and shot photograph [...]
Breakfast Dates
Good minds think alike! You can tell we are family, we all think along the same lines and it can be so much fun.
Kip asked Gillian to be his breakfast date for this morning and I asked Hayden out as well. Gillian asked to go for pancakes at Mimi’s and Hayden requested Einstein Bagels. We each went our ways and had a great morning o [...]
All In Hayden’s time…R...
Fall break is already upon is, it seems like they just started school.
First day of fall break, I was sitting at the kitchen table enjoying the morning breeze and colorful trees when out of the blue Hayden asked me if I could get his bike helmet for him. You see, he had already gotten his bike (that is too small already) out of the garage [...]
