September 14, 2012 – 9:43 pm

Andy was out of town. It was a Saturday. I wanted to be out of the house. So I mustered up some courage, strapped all three kids into their car seats, loaded the stroller and drove to the zoo. The weather? Beautiful. The number of people at the zoo? Insane. Still, I was determined. I […]

Happy 1st Birthday, Colleen

    We spent this gorgeous Sunday having a belated Father's Day celebration for this father and son! earning their keep Not high school sweethearts, really, but both '97 Lakota grads! People say going to a high school reunion is just like walking right back into the theatrics of a high school cafeteria. But this one, my 20th, wasn't like that at all. I so loved catching up with dear old friends and strangely, folks I wasn't friends with in high school but have come to know and love due to the weird and wonderful world of social media. I just wish I had taken more pictures! A sweet Father's Day reunion with this dad who came home early after being out of town for five days. Happy 3rd birthday, sweet Natalie! Happy birthday, Mom ❤️ my grandpa, my dad, me. 1981. They may now be surrounded by subdivisions but for now, this little 5-acre slice of heaven remains. Happy the rain stayed away so we could play some baseball for an early Father's Day celebration with my dad and brother-in-law! cousins ❤️ birthday lunch downtown four years ago birthday lunch downtown! Happy birthday to this guy who humors us daily. ❤️ James: I have to wear a pocket today. Us: Why? James: I have to put one of my five dollar bills in it and three of my one dollar bills in it. Us: Why? James: A kid at camp said if I gave him $8 he would give me a fidget spinner. Us, next day: Did you get your fidget spinner? James: No. Us: Where's your money? James: My friend has it! He has to go to Coney Island to buy it. Us: Dude, I think you're out $8. James: No I'm not! He's my friend! James, next day: Told ya. Leave it to a 7 year old to remind us that most people are good and kind. Joan Baez, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers with my mom and dear friends on a beautiful June night. ❤️✌❤️ neighborhood friends + s'mores
