So this weekend officially marks the beginning of summer for us. Brand took his boards exam on Thursday and now he’s a free man. In thinking about it, this is the last free summer of his life -dramatic I know, but really. Next summer he will be in the clinic… and the summer after that, and then hopefully he will have a job lined up and it’s all grown up adult business from there. It’s been fun and nice having him home, it gives me someone else to talk to and we all seem to… Read More

We sat and played for a bit, then I laid her down on… Read More

I guess I have my eyes to blame, I feel like they are getting worse, or can I just say that people are writing things smaller. Yes, that’s it. So Sunday Hazel wore another one of my church dresses. If you were to put a who wore it best of us side-by-side she would win. Hands down, she would win. She’s cuter. I lover her smile and I love… Read More
when we had a dog for two hours
I’m a sucker for dogs, and mostly I’m a sucker for dogs who are lost. Ask my mom, when I was 8 there were two big dogs roaming around the neighborhood and I made my parents stop and pick them up. It ended up being a big to do. So when I saw this little pooch the whole story went through my head. But, I couldn’t let the little guy just wonder around the neighborhood. With Hazel in the back seat I scooped the pup up and we headed home-thankfully he was very friendly and… Read More
