My boy...

He’s doing good. I get to talk to him every Monday and so every Monday is Christmas. And every Monday (even though things aren’t always easy) I see more of a man. We are so proud of Austin.

13.1 in Bend...

I did my most favorite half marathon EVER over the weekend. My friend and I ran slow and stopped when we wanted to....took the time to enjoy our surroundings....and threw the time clock out the window. It was pretty close to perfect.

Guess who came to stay a while?

Our sweet little Clare bear. Halee and Jared left her with us while they went an a getaway and it was simply wonderful. I adore this sweet, fun girl. She has a smile for everyone.

Where did Christian go?

Somebody stole my little boy and dropped a big boy in my lap. I mean, what the heck? Oh Christian, I sure do love you. Get little again, please. 

Grace is 12? No. She can’t be.

How did this little girl get so grown up over night? 12 years with her has been simply beautiful. My wish for her is to have the highest potential of happiness and a long beautiful, fulfilling life. Yes...she deserves that. ♥️

Clare bear visits...

We just can’t get enough of this sweet girl. One look at those bright eyes and my heart melts. And she has a smile for everyone.
