Cross Country Road Trip 2014

I can’t sleep. I’m blogging from my phone hoping that by seeing the ridiculous amounts of miles we intend to cover tomorrow, it will persuade me to shut down and sleep. I’m just as excited as the kids, but they’re asleep. What gives? We all decided that the goal was to be one the road […]

Road Trip Day 1 :: Oregon or Bust

The kids and I are off for an adventure today.  I’m fueling up for the journey, currently sitting at Starbucks, and I am very excited.  The kids have known for a while that we were going to Oregon, sometime during this two week stretch, but they had assumed that we were flying.  It should be […]

Katie, Austin, Brady & Lily Gussied Up

Austin & Lily’s piano teacher, Kim, had both of them participate in her wedding.  Austin was a ring bearer and Lily was a flower girl.  It was a beautiful ceremony.
