There aren’t enough words to say how thankful I am. Photos will have to do. I am thankful for my husband (who doesn’t like pictures) for letting me cackle and cackle with my family until my throat hurt – and still loves me.

Watch out, Mom!
I have the biggest feeling of accomplishment right now. I made my mom’s famous chicken noodle soup, from scratch, all by myself. This chicken noodle soup is like nothing you’ve ever tasted.

I used to be.. Read More

Hawk posed in his Halloween costume next to the pumpkin. We roasted the seeds while we gave out some candy. Then the boys all cuddled on the couch.
