That Moment

That moment when your daughter can run home for the next-door neighbors house when your son is now smart enough to use Alexa to call your phone and let you know the pizza is ready. And she can go and turn off the oven and pull it out all by herself!

It’s Time

Captain's Log, Summer Ed., Day 76:

Well, there it is. The backpacks are back. Signs made, lunches prepped, worries discussed, joys celebrated. 

I don't remember the day-to-day challenges on purpose. I choose to remember camping and s'mores, backyard fires and friends over to play, pools, lakes, oceans and sun. And the village I have that makes this life amazing. Even when it's hard. 

Go forth, my children. Go explore your world. Be respectful, be kind. Be the best version of you that you know how to be. Then come home and tell me all about it. 

Happy School Year to All!

Yup

So this happened…

I had it all planned out last March. A perfect plan. A sports camp for the last five days of summer so I can get to work and I wouldn't have to pay for daycare. Why am I doing this to myself?! Regardless, two hours into the first day, I get a call and lo and behold it was true agony on the other end of the phone with my boy crying in pain. Four hours later we were back home resting with a double fracture to his left arm. Yes, school starts next week. And there goes football. But God answers prayers there too, he's going to do Lego league instead and he will certainly make a memorable impression on the kids at his new school. We all just step up and make it happen. Sometimes, those curveballs that the Lord throws me are good for me.
