Happy August 2nd! Today is Max’s 1/2 Birthday, if you don’t gather the significance, that means tomorrow he will be closer to FOUR years old than three! Here is a peek back on our July: We started off July with a bang at Andrea and Peter’s 5th of July Wedding. Not only was it a gorgeous…
Not one whose forte is being concise, I’ve always remembered sitting in my high school English class as my teacher (ironically) expounded on the difficulty of choosing words wisely and eliminating extra words by using this quote by Mark Twain: “I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”…
Summer in WI is prime time for smoothies (granted this past weekend was a unseasonably balmy 55 degrees). But, who am I kidding? I drink smoothies all year long because they taste great and it is the fastest way to get a huge amount of food and nourishment into my body that I can have…
I last posted 8 months ago. The time passed and then every time I wanted to write I didn’t know where to begin! We’ve been working on so much around here and I suppose just living life. I still don’t know where to begin, but I do want to keep writing on this blog, that…

It’s been about two and a half months and I finally have a working computer! {Can you hear that? I think it’s Angels singing!} The time away has been both stressful and blessed. Stressful because: I didn’t realize just how much time I truly spent on the computer, some of it frivolous, sure, but much of it: sending emails, looking up…
This is just a quick check-in to say hello! Our computer has barely been working for the last week, which has made writing and/or posting a bit tricky! If we’re lucky enough to get an Internet connection, it is fleeting and moves painfully slow. When this thing is up and running again, I am so…
