I came into our upstairs bathroom the other day and it looked just like this. The arrangement was so bizarre that I had to inspect it a little closer. Here is the note: I’m still not sure what caused Drew to write this note, it just cracked me up. The note disappeared just as mysteriously …

Mom is Gone Survival Guide
Manina and Ellie are out being world travelers. Again. Last year in September they went to San Diego and then Alaska. This time they went to Disneyland and had a fun trip. But while Mom and Ellie are out having a great time together, the rest of us in the family don’t exactly wallow in …
Diagnosis: MRI
SPOILER ALERT: Jacob is just fine. Totally healthy and nothing to worry about. Jacob went in for his annual medical physical exam this week. He came out with some disturbing news. We’ve been going to the same pediatrician for several years, and he’s always been a doctor we could recommend to others. The doctor went …
House cleaner extraordinaire
I am afraid as I grow older I will forget all the great and fun things that happened in my kid’s youth. Something that has always amazed me is how Ellie has quickly followed in my footsteps. Whatever I am doing, she wants to be doing. One thing that she likes as much as I …
Value Chalk Run
Our stake hosted a “Value 5K Chalk Run” for all the young women in our stake. Each pit stop had water and a different color of chalk representing a different value (There are a total of eight values). I thought it was a really neat idea so I signed us up. They allowed all girls …
The Forgotten Baseball Season
Drew was excited to start baseball season this year. He’s played teeball before, but this was going to be his first year of little league (it’s machine pitch at his age). He plays for the Cubs. Thankfully (for reasons which will soon become clear), Drew’s friend Micah is also on the team. Unfortunately due to …
Drew’s Two Truths and a Lie
It was Drew’s turn to play the “Two Truths and a Lie” game. He may have misunderstood the rules a little bit. Here is what he said, I’ve been to the top of the moon. I’ve played soccer. I’ve been to Santa’s workshop. This all started when we signed up for a church activity. The plan was to have …
Happy 11th Birthday Katelyn!
It wasn’t Katelyn’s turn for a friend party this year so I downplayed it and just told her we would have cake and ice-cream in the evening. Little did she know, I had planned on checking her out and taking her to lunch and then to “Color Me Mine”. She has been dying to go …
The Forgotten Lunch
Megan is in 7th grade. She’s a wonderful girl, but is extremely susceptible to paternal humiliation (as most junior high girls seem to be). I have a devious side, and couldn’t help myself when Megan unknowingly provided me with a perfect opportunity to embarrass her at school. I was just about to head off to …
While Mom is away
Manina has been traveling a lot recently. She and Ellie have been away for basically two of the last three weeks. She went to San Diego for a few days, then went to Alaska to visit her mom and other family. We miss them terribly, but we keep ourselves busy by doing silly things that …
