The family had a birthday party yesterday. For our dogs. Yeah, you read that right. They threw a birthday party for our dogs! Mabel and her sister (Charlie, who resides with my in-laws) turned one. One year of these two and every ounce of puppy energy they can muster! I thought they'd calm down, but … Continue reading A Tail Waggin’ Good Time!
Friday Photo Flashback
A quickie today. This past week, Andrew turned 5 years old. I looked back through photos from when he was born and stumbled on one that was taken just a day or two after he was born. We went to the mall to have these done and this one sticks out for some reason. I … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

TV Theme Song Thursday – #46
Recently, I came across a Watch Mojo list of the the Top 30 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. While I agreed with some of them, many I did not. So I decided to make my own list. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't go with the Top 30. There were too many … Continue reading TV Theme Song Thursday – #46

I'm not even sure how he knows about that, unless a classmate in preschool mentioned it, which is possible. So this year, … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments

I’m Thinking Pink
I remember how it started. I was working in the mailroom/copy center at EDS. I had already been out on a couple deliveries. I was loading up for my next one when I was called back into the courier office to take a phone call. I had no cell phone at this time. This was back … Continue reading I’m Thinking Pink
