A Magical Weekend
Little Miss, T-Rex and I spent the weekend in Columbus, Ohio at a waterpark resort with my parents and in-laws. We were all attending the Ohio Regional Fellowship of Christian Magicians convention. Sadly, Ked had school and was unable to join us. It was the first FCM convention I had been to in at least [...]
The Milk Carton
I have another post up at Our Circle of Friends…. The snow crunched under my feet. I paused outside the heavy glass doors. The playground was eerily quiet, the lull before the storm of five to seven-year-olds about to invade. Slices of bread hung by yarn on a tree, flapping in the wind, awaiting hungry [...]
Young Love Letters – part 13
Get caught up on the series here! We managed to arrange a visit in my hometown between Christmas and New Year’s.

Spinning and breathless
In my attempt to make these long winter months as fun as possible, I’ve taken the kids sledding twice this past week. The first trip out was to a good friend’s house. T-Rex had a minor mishap with a tree, but quickly got back on the horse – er sled, although he’s still rightfully concerned [...]
Waiting for spring
I caught myself longing for spring the other day. When I realized what I was doing, I audibly gasped and changed the direction of my thoughts. Longing for spring in the middle of January in Michigan can be a bad move. Lest I forget – it snowed April 1 when we moved back to Michigan [...]
Give me magic
I’m easing my way back into life post-marathon. I’m still working on putting that experience into words. I had no idea how much running a marathon would impact me. And I’m not talking about my knees. Until then, here’s some recent kid conversations that have me laughing. — On the way home from Bible study [...]
