OK…you may think that title is a bit much but….This could be a mother’s worst nightmare – her 12 year old son, putting on armor to play a sport. I’ve decided I’m really not fond of football. (I used to be – even was a cheerleader – don’t tell my kids.) But, Kory is VERY… Read More Hurricane Football & A Sovereign God
We’ve finally started school – a bit later than usual, but our summer was a bit crazier than usual, so I wasn’t quite ready. The kids were ready though, especially Kayla. It rained all day today and I’ve decided that rainy days are perfect for starting school! They just feel slower and there is a… Read More First Day of School
Grammie and Paw Paw (Robert’s parents) are here for their September visit. We attempted to enjoy what may have been our last day of summer by eating dinner outside Friday night – complete with fresh local corn and watermelon. We also thought it would be a good opportunity to see where any bats may be… Read More Fun with Grammie and Paw Paw
Kayla recently finished reading her first official chapter book! She decided to give it a try without any prompting – kept at it for days and updated us on her progress all along. She was so excited and immediately wanted to go to the library and check out more! Hurray – so thankful to have… Read More Chapter Book Champion
We really enjoyed our 3 night getaway to Boston! Eating will forever be a major issue though when away from home. Many people have raved about P.F. Chang’s and their special gluten free menu, so we tried that the first night. Newly opened at the Prudential Center, I don’t think they had all the kinks… Read More Semi 2nd Honeymoon
We decided to change the cover a bit. The proofs came back last week, and the blue cover turned purple when it was printed. I’m sure there is a way to adjust this in our file, but the learning curve has already been extremely steep for us regarding the computer work, graphics, conversion to pdf,… Read More New Cover for Book

Here are the girls in the sand at Puffer’s Pond… Read More Cousin Camp!
This is a bat. This is Robert looking for a bat in our basement. Facing his worst fear… on his way to becoming…… a superhero. (Actually his worst fear is snakes. I pray he never has to face that one.) Where is Alfred when you need him? This is Robert holding a captured bat, (see… Read More Batman Begins
On Wednesday, August 1 we celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary! The Baglow family kept our kids all afternoon and evening while we sipped ice coffee from Dunkin Donuts (very popular in New England) and then went out for dinner at Tavern on the Hill. We sat on the deck and had a beautiful view,… Read More 15 Years of Marriage!
While Miss Riggs visited (see Heavenly Houseguests) we took a trip to New York City. Our main reason for going was to see Ellis Island – Miss Riggs re-created the immigration experience of Ellis Island at her middle school to culminate a unit study on immigration. One of the other highlights of the day was… Read More 26 Years of Friendship
