Fall Recap

Whew! It’s been a busy Fall. I feel like we are starting to get out of the craziness and can finally breathe! Bryson worked on a flower all about him at school. I love it…especially the part about him loving his parents. Nick got in an accident in the red car. Fortunately, he was okay, …

Kids Say / Do…

Sometimes the kids say / do some pretty crazy things. Here are just a few recent ones that come to mind… Bryson’s Milled Cheddar: For some reason, Bryson always thought “Mild” was pronounced “Milled”. I’m not sure where it came from, but at dinner, it would always be, “Mom, can I have the Milled Cheddar?” …

Family Pics!!!

We finally got some family pictures taken. We got them done by Anne Gregoire, who I won the “Mommy and Me” photos package from a couple years ago. She did an AWESOME job! The kids were all pretty well behaved. Bryson didn’t really want to get pictures, and on the way to the Cincinnati Nature …

Mini Getaway

Instead of a big trip this year, we decided to do a mini getaway to Northern Indiana. It involved lots of pool time, stays at 3 different hotels, and beautiful weather. We left on Friday, 9/27 after school. Our first stop was Purdue. When we got there around 7:30, the kids were too excited to …

Back to School

The past couple weeks have been a time of change and transitions. Landon moved up to preschool at day care. Mya started kindergarten, and Bryson second grade. I moved to working 4 days a week, but leaving at 2:30 every day (still 60% schedule). Nick is now getting the kids on the bus Mon-Thu. Whew! …

Bryson is 8

8. Years. Old. That means he is half way to driving! Bryson is 8 years old. I have to keep telling myself this, because it doesn’t see possible. Sometimes when I look at him, I can’t believe what a big kid he is. I usually peak in on him before I go to bed, and …

July Recap

We are 5 days away from Bryson starting 2nd grade and 6 days away from Mya starting kindergarten. Already??? July was busy and fun! On July 3rd, we went to Madeira’s annual Independence Day parade. My mom’s group had a touch-a-truck pre-party, complete with free Kona Ice. The kids had fun and enjoyed collecting lots …

Goodbye Kizzie

We had to put Kizzie to sleep on July 1st.  It was REALLY hard.  Kizzie’s health was continuing to deteriorate.  Over the past 2 months, we were visiting the vet about once a week, with new symptoms each time.  She was having urine problems, trouble walking, and had occasional diarrhea.  She wasn’t eating much either.  …

May/June Recaps

The business continues! Here’s a quick recap of last half of May and most of June… Bryson had a graduation ceremony in which he got his Tiger badge. Now he will be working towards his Wolf badge. Way to go Bryson! We celebrated Mya’s Kindergarten prep graduation. Way to go Mya! Nick and I went …
