Two days ago, we walked home from bringing Gemma to the bus stop, opened the garage door to go in, and a large, glossy red chicken walked out. This was surprising, considering we don’t own chickens. The boys, needless to say, were thrilled, especially since the confident hen noisily clucked back at their every […]

Monday Moments: River Dance
I could get used to this country-ish living. With beautiful, if unpredictable, spring weather and our new abundance of flat land, the nearby river trail beckons daily. School mornings and bedtime, though, don’t necessarily agree with post-dinner bike rides and walks. Add to that our dinner time being shifted half an hour later to accommodate our […]

Monday Moments: Moved
We’re alive! I’ve always loved moving, and this was our 6th house in our 8 years of marriage, so I thought we were good to go. But I was not prepared for what moving means with 4 kids under 6, with a major cough/cold/flu attacking me, a big paper and presentation due for school, interviewing […]
