Anniversary Night Out
Sue and Marci volunteered to have a sleepover with the kids so Brandon and I could have a night away for our anniversary! (Lucky number 13). 😉 We got all dressed up, delivered the kids to Sue’s house, and headed downtown. We enjoyed dinner, drinks, a show (the Blue Man Group) and had a fantastic time....

Sue and I went out to lunch with Mary Conroy today at Vivace. Mary is one of those wonderful kind souls, a dear friend of Sue’s who I’ve come to love and appreciate so much. She stayed with me overnight at Sue’s house, when I was looking after my dad in his last few days, and Sue had to spend the night away at the hospital herself. She brought us delicious food more times than I can count, and was just wonderful with the kids. I was happy to see her again today, and after...

Kendall’s class did a bead-stringing activity today, and boy, was she sure proud of her “neck-a-lace”! (That’s how she pronounces it.) 😉 We randomly decided to go to Chili’s tonight for dinner, since we were tired, and Brian loves it. I’m liking it less and less these days, since the quality is dropping like a rock–besides the tableside guacamole and the most expensive Margarita on the menu, everything seems just one click above a microwavable Lean...
Read MoreKendall’s Radio
Kendall loves this toy radio, just like Brian did when it was his..! I suppose it’s more of a baby toy, but, she still loves it. It’s amusing to me, too, since it has a few different “genres” of music on it. I like to imagine what artist they were copying when they made each song for the toy. 😉 Today I saw that she had discovered that the antenna raises and lowers–none of us had figured that out before! Brian spun it around plenty when he was a baby, but,...
