The kids and I had a pretty good afternoon. I wanted to take the them hiking and ultimately decided on the John T Huston – Dr John D Brumbaugh Nature Center. It was about a 30 minute drive but it was pretty amazing. We’d never been there before and didn’t know what to expect. My …

My kids should have fun today and that makes me happy
We have a pretty fun day planned. Emmett has a birthday party to attend and Elliott and Gavin are welcome to attend as well. We’re ready to go as soon as the laundry is done and it will be done in plenty of time. The kids don’t have a visit this weekend because we’re trying …

I found a great way to disconnect and spend time as a family
I want to end the day on a positive note, by sharing something cool that the boys and I did as a family. A large part of this was Emmett and myself. Frankly, Emmett was the muscle behind this puzzle. ☺ Emmett is huge into things like board games and puzzles. He really enjoys doing …

This afternoon I took the boys and Ruby to the park. We ended up going on a hike that took us about two miles. Lizze is battling the same migraine she’s had for about 7ish years now. It’s been a rough weekend for her and so we let her sleep. We learned one big thing …

This was very last minute
Elliott is sick. Emmett and Gavin are in Y-Town visiting my grandmother. Them going in the trip was sorta last minute but we figured it would do them some good to get out of the house and we could use the break. ☺ I sent Lizze to take a nice long, guilt free nap, and …
