I am so smart!


In the words of Homer Simpson, I am so smart! Ha! I'm so proud to have come up with this all on my own! I used sidewalk chalk to draw lines where Little Man is allowed to ride his trike. He's totally getting into it, too... he sees a line coming and says. "STOP!" and turns right around. Hope it lasts!

Distractions vs. reminiscing

Facebook. Remodeling. Migraines from oil paint used in remodeling. Facebook. End of school year craziness. Upheaval of ownership and instructors at taekwondo (for Brylea). Facebook. Illness. And did I mention, Facebook? These are the reasons I've gotten behind on this blog. That, and for some reason, each time I've tried to post pictures, something fouls up and I can't.

I truly can't believe the number of people from my past I've reconnected with. Old roomies, guys I used to date, high school band comrades (including one of my band directors), friends from previous churches attended. It really is fascinating to see where people are nowadays. Some took similar paths to mine, others hit a few detours, and still some others who headed in directions I myself would never be... yet they are all important to me in some way. They are all people who mean something to me, and I really do look fondly on all the good times we enjoyed. Most of all, they are all children of the same God as I (whether they believe it or not!) and it's good to see them happy, thriving, enjoying life.
