Thankful

January of 2013 I started this post. I didn't change the title. I wonder what I was thankful for? I'm certain it's that last picture of Ava screaming and running away!

Maple syrup tapping. Seriously.

Random fun with Alina I never captured. So little. Oh Miss Ava, you're such a person now. Stay little. Please??? Because seriously, you're going to be a beast of a teenager!

Oh yes, and Christmas too!

Did I ever publish these pics? No idea! They are from at least three years ago. These are some CUTE kids!!!

Another post I started but didn't finish...

Volleyball, and basketball
Sports of every sort.
I can't help
But wonder why
My life's spent on a court.

Of course it's not enough
To watch and play along.
We can't help
But volunteer
For every coaching role.

The kids have fun
They learn a lot
But sometimes I wonder why.

It's ups and downs
It's skill with a ball
And we laugh and yell and cry.

Valpo

Never published... not sure if these showed up anywhere else. It must have been a year ago because it was convocation at Valpo (is that what you call the going forth ceremony?). Me with Orville Redenbacher and me with Nicole. Fun on both accounts!

So many titles, so little time

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I think in blog. Mom may not believe me, but I write blog posts in my head. I just don't always open my computer and write them too! So, I've tried to figure out what to call this one. I have many titles...

Of course there was mouse poop on the widowsill
Breaking point
I hate youth sports
When life kicks your A&&, (and I can't figure out the end to this one, but I wish I knew. Making lemonade doesn't seem to quite cut it.)

So, after I posted about Amsterdam, things went downhill from there. I walked 14 miles that day, and loved every moment. And then... I learned that Nolan got a concussion.

I started this post in September. It never got published or finished. I don't think I'll write anymore. I couldn't explain it if I tried!
