Oh, where did you go, June? I can’t decide what caused the month to disappear so rapidly. Was it our deep yearning to “return to normal” that caused us to fill the days and go, go, go? Or, maybe my desperate need for this summer to linger and last just backfired? Regardless, here we are, […]
Last week, we packed up and hit the road! A couple of years ago, Harper began to talk about visiting South Dakota after seeing commercials on television for it. We had it on the books for last summer, but Covid canceled our plans. So, we were jazzed to finally get to go! And, I think […]

Hi. It sure has been a while. So much and not so much has happened since the last post. We have unmasked and finished school. We have ordered groceries, started taking spring walks, fought boredom, and planned “reasonable” vacations. I feel like we are all in a bit of reentry. I am slowly coming back […]
We are finally approaching the close of 2020. The sun will soon rise on 2021, and we are all wondering what this new year will bring. I, and I am certain most of you too, continue to hear and to read how crummy 2020 was, that we cannot wait for it to be over, that […]
Merry Christmas, my friends. May your holidays be filled with laughter, love, and health. (Scroll to the bottom to for what they are also often filled with). Sending LOTS of love from our Christmas family to yours … Also included in the holiday, though not pictured above: sibling rivalry, whining about which present beneath the […]
