We were lucky enough to have Grandpa Gary and Grandma Kathy join us this Halloween. A Halloween geocache series got us in the haunting mood. It consisted of 12 spooky caches that led up to the final 13th geocache with lots of fun goodies for the kids. We enjoyed all the Halloween festivities: hot chocolate, …

And grapes make grape juice.
One of the things I remember most about Grandma Pat is her famous grape juice. Coming from Alaska, I wasn’t very familiar with fresh homemade grape juice but I quickly fell in love with it. With the unfortunate recent passing of Grandma we decided not to let her grapes go to waste. We took the …

Budding author
Our kids have recently taken to creating their own books. Megan especially will spend hours and hours, sometimes spanning several days writing, editing, and illustrating her own book. She is becoming quite the literary talent. Every book seems better than the last, and her creative mind keeps coming up with fresh ideas. Her latest work …
Sweet sisters
Drew, being the only boy home during the day, gets totally spoiled by his sisters. As far as he knows he has four different mommies. I know many people fear for his sanity since he doesn’t have any brothers (other than Jake who is 7 years older) to play with but let me assure you …

Kindergarten begins today
Katelyn started kindergarten today. She has been begging me to go all week. She couldn’t understand why Jacob and Meg got to go so much sooner than she did. I put her in afternoon kindergarten so by the time 12:30 rolled around she was chomping at the bit to get out the door. It is …
Our new home, for now
We recently moved into a rental and after multiple requests from my extended family we are posting pictures of our new abode. Although the style is somewhat dated, we have really enjoyed having the extra space to maneuver around in. Please pay careful attention to the lovely doorbell (looks similar to a wind chime) that …
Back to school
Yesterday was the first day of school for Jacob (a big 4th grader) and Meg (a sweet 2nd grader). As if all the changes we have recently been through aren’t enough, we are throwing them into a new school with new friends AND a new method of transportation. My kids have always lived close enough …
