This year my parents turned 60. And so, for my mom’s birthday and then on Father’s Day for my dad, we all wrote down what we love about these two incredible people. It was such fun! We are so blessed to have them.
Summer has been keeping us busy! Lots of fun to be had. Here’s a few of our goings on:Blake is playing Coach Pitch. Here he is being the catcher on a beautiful summer night:Halle played in her first tennis match! It was a rough one, her opponent had a lot more experience. She had fun…
I can’t stay away from this city for long. We’ve been talking about a High School girls trip for ages, and we finally made it happen! I have known and loved these fun, spunky, witty, wonderful women for over 20 years and when I am with them I remember who I am and why I…
We sure love this guy of ours! We had a great morning celebrating. The kids prepared a delicious breakfast of waffles topped with almond butter and strawberries and Josh made some yummy bacon. The kids worked hard on their cards and helped me pick out all his favorite treats and wrap them all up in…

It has been a cold, rainy month of May. So, Blake’s end of year picnic included coats 🙂 We have just loved his Kindergarten year and all the friends he has made. Mrs. Brown has been the perfect 2nd grade teacher for Josh. He has grown so much as a student. She pushes them to…
Little Miss Halle graduated from 5th grade! What a surreal moment for her parents. We are in awe of this kind, sweet, smart, vastly talented little lady. It was such a fun day! Black Rock has a tradition where K-4th grade line the halls of the school. The 5th grade takes one final lap around…
It’s my favorite weekend in Erie! We all got up early, and as part of out BB10k training, we ran up to the golf course to watch the balloons launch. It was a little touch and go with the weather, but finally the balloons were up up and away! In other news: It’s been raining. …
As always, it was an excellent Mother’s Day! And it snowed for the 2nd year in a row! I love this day to reflect on my feelings about being a mother. It certainly has its ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade those tiny humans for anything in the world. They are my joy and…
