Dear Daddy...we got you your wish

Love, we got you your wish-your very own wooden bat and a scavenger hunt to find it!  

It was super fun for the kids and I to find something for you that has brought lots of memories back and joys to be had. 

Stepping back on the diamond to coach Owen has been a treat for you!  You obviously loved the sport at his age and still do.  We hope you have many opportunities to swing a bat this year for fun!

happy birthday at 39 :)

PS i think you have a mini you, don't you think?

 Back to school, off of school, back to school!

a few times a month

I've stood at our computer, which resides in the kitchen, for three hours now. The kids officially took over the dinner making a few times a month.  This is my view!  I'm thankful for their cooking classes, their kind hearts and their teamwork tonight.  

Thank you, kiddos!  I have gotten a lot of planning done this afternoon. Can't wait to eat our stuffed peppers, cheesy bread and apple cake for dinner. Love you both!

PS-I'm pretty amazed you pulled this off without my help! :)

Thanksgiving Eve Cereal!

Homemade Granola, Cherrios-honey and regular mixed, Peanut Butter Balls and Cinnamon Squares!

1st DAY of 2nd and 4th grade!

Dear Katie and Owen, 

It is going to be a good year-we can just feel it!  I'm sure we will have our high highs and low lows, but with Vox Veritatis Class and New Life Camp Special Clubs we should be good to go.  Our goal sweet kids is to pray and try to instill in you a love of learning about anything and everything around you.  We want you to love the Lord, discern Truth and love those around you! 

For our first day, what better way to start then at Sola Coffee with Coffee and Donuts.

Love you both!

 Love you more then cupcakes and bacon. :)
