EHS and CSU Homecoming

We had a few great weekends celebrating the Tigers and the Rams. First up, EHS. It all starts with the Homecoming Parade. This was the second year that Tiger Tennis participated.

Marshall Fire

We first heard about the Marshall fire from a friend texting to let us know what was going on while we were still in Utah. Not a wildfire, like a firestorm sweeping through suburban neighborhoods of superior and Louisville. There were wind gusts up to 100 mph and the fire spread in minutes. Entire neighborhoods,…

Final Day in Munich

Halloween 2019

Blake has been growing his hair for months so he could be a very authentic Thor. And I had to buy and return no less than FOUR costumes until we landed on the exact right one. I also got to help with Blake’s school Halloween party in the afternoon. It was my very last elementary…
