Yesterday we drove down to Beaverton to visit our dear friends, Dan & Zoe. Dan and my DH revert to juvenile antics when around one another. It’s like having a couple of big kids. Zoe and I escaped to her sitting area to visit while the girls enjoyed exploring their lovely back yard.

School started again today so we all awoke and went our separate ways. A1 began junior high, A2 and A3 returned to their elementary school, the DH went to work and I went to a different elementary school to work in a Kindergarten classroom.
During the past week we kept busy trying to wrap up [...]

During their stay they enjoyed private art lessons.
They meandered through isolated paths of green.
They spent countless hours building cities [...]
Just a PSA to let everyone know that Penny Rae over at Pennknits is holding a contest. Each year her family packs up and drives from their home in the Tri-Cities, WA area to Montana to visit family. The person who guesses the closest to how many miles total were put on their vehicle during the [...]
Silence does have a sound. It’s heavy, thick and echoes off the walls with a disconcerting, underlying buzz. In our home it’s unnatural. It’s making me nervous. Explaining this current phenomenon requires jumping back to events from last week.
Last week my mom called to let me know that her Aunt passed away. She wanted [...]
