He was due October 13, 2020. Our grandson, Shiloh. Remember him? Last time you saw him, he was hiding here: We were ready. Our flight was booked for Utah a week ahead of schedule so Chris and I could settle in, spend time with the kids and get ready for our grandson. But the kids […]
I’ve been getting messages this morning asking for the passcode for the Family Christmas post. It was a poll I sent out to my kids to figure out when it will be best to celebrate Christmas. I forgot to make my site private before I posted so it went out to everyone. Now I have […]

A highlight of this sabbatical included a short trip from two of our kids. Zeb and Bri few in from Utah for a visit east before our grandson is born. The night was beautiful and had the nicest warm wind. We didn’t realize the renovations at the Albany airport had come so far, and we […]
Love, love, love this post from @seriouslyseekinganswers so I wanted to share it with you all. Great ideas and wonderful images.

I’ll post that video […]
