I’m working with photos on the computer, getting ready to do Christmas cards. Grant comes up, looks over my shoulder and comments: “Oh! Is that the one with the ball with Conner that came and then did and went for my dream?” Yes. Yes it is.??

Devin & Conner’s Dad, Mike, has colon cancer. Back in June, surgeons tried to remove the tumor but it was too big. After a round of chemo and radiation, the doctors determined that the tumor had shrunk enough that they could go in and remove it. They tried to do so last night. The tumor […]

Tuesday evening: Mom: Are you finished with your homework, Devin? Dev: Yeah. Mom: Did you do all of your chores? Dev: Yeah. Mom: Is your back pack packed up and ready to go for school tomorrow? Dev: Yeah (slightly annoyed with this line of questioning….) everything’s done. Wednesday morning: Dev: (on a friend’s borrowed cell […]

With 4 boys, how did I get on the mailing list for American Girl?) Here is a website where you can be taken off of these obnoxious mailing […]

My friend Eva and her daughter, Kaya, are in this music video. I don’t know who the singer is, or how Eva knows him. All I know is that by the time this video was over, I was crying like a baby.

It’s been a week since my last post… crazy-busy… I’ll explain later.
