There is another new post below this one. Brady, Jennifer, and Dad went up to Berkley to see MSU’s first game of the season. Relatives flew or drove out from MI to join them. I promised Jen that I not only watch football, but I love it, and would be there in...

kylie’s 5th birthday
I can’t believe she’s 5. Her birthday party was at Scooter’s Jungle today and as always, the kids had a blast there!
Nathan was doing some seriously scary jumps on the big slide today. I finally told him to knock it off before he broke is neck.
Little Matt was cracking me up playing air...
mommy day
That’s what Logan calls it when he gets to skip school and stay home with me. First, we dropped off the big kids at school. Then we went to my school, even though it was one of my days off, to get a couple of things done. We met Papa Jerry for...
the homework blues
I can already tell this will be a more stressful school year. Gone are the days when homework is given for the week on Monday and due on Friday. No more leisurely Thursday nights at the coffee shop finishing it all up. She now has nightly homework. And you can see how...

I’ve spent two days looking at and test-driving cars. I want a van. I loved having a van. An SUV is out of the question. The little ones are too small inside and there is no way I can drive a big one. It won’t fit in the driveway anyhow....
pray for Brittany and her twins!
My virtual friend Brittany is having her twins right now (earlier than expected because she was in a car accident today that sent her into labor). Read her story – she is totally amazing – a mommy to four boys with identical twins coming (boys or girls? she doesn’t know!). Brittany made...
car trouble and the beach
Man, I had one of THOSE DAYS today. Rob was fishing so the kids and I spent a nice relaxing morning playing board games and waiting for clients to pick up orders. Then we headed out to meet Dawn and Kylie for lunch. We ALMOST got there when the car just quit...
