Halloween weekend began as it always does, at the Longmont Parade. It was a beautiful morning and all the costumes were so clever. Then the moment we’ve been waiting for…..presenting the cast of HERCULES! Every year just keeps getting better. I wish Halloween was always on a weekend! It was on Monday this year, and…
Life keeps barreling forward. How are we at May? Is working at Google even a job? Fully stocked fridges, ping pong, a music room, relaxation rooms, a giant gym, an arcade, meals, nap pods, etc. The perks are real. Rusty FINALLY got to go to Mountain View and meet his team in person! 21 months…

Wow–Fall time is always busy time. Here’s what we’ve been up to. Dash was so matted he had to get all his hair shaved off. It’s Marching Band season! Rusty and I had the opportunity to attend the posthumous sealing of sweet Faith Falagrady and her husband Don. It was such a special experience–one that I…
Circle pup on a lot of morning drives to school. Everyone loves to take Dash along. The Banks’ favorite kind of Super Bowl. The Puppy Bowl! Superbowl Sunday snack food! Circle Pup! Dash rocking the man bun. Doing a Come Follow Me lesson when Jesus fasts for 40 days and then rejects Satan. In this…
