I’m Ready for Opening Night!
Three days until opening night of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Three days! Can you tell I’m so ready for this play to be over with? I think the novelty of this particular play wore a while ago, especially since my two oldest are playing the same parts as last year and this…

Guitar Praise Rocks!
My kids are probably like your kids. They jumped on board the Guitar Hero craze. Though we don’t have one, they played it over friends and relatives homes. I’ve got to admit, I had fun playing as well, but some of the songs, okay most of the songs…well, they were songs I’d rather my kids…
Grace’s First Audition: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
Auditions are always so exciting and long and yes, kind of boring. I’ve been holding Grace off from auditioning for a year now, but thought we’d give it a shot this year. I was a little worried about her waiting for her chance on stage, so I came prepared. Drink, snack and coloring books. That…

But these photos will have to suffice for now! ICRS: Meeting great authors and cool friends! Susan May Warren, prolific writer and blogger at Writer…Interrupted Amy…
Boys Back from School Camp!
I know, you didn’t even know they were gone. If I only had enough time to blog about everything that’s going on in my life. If only you twittered, you might know more, then again, you might not since I didn’t even have time to twitter this! But something really cool about my boys’ school…
First Week of School
The night before Chris asked me if I was going to wake him up with a photo flash! I said, “no.” That was how I woke them up last year! But this year, well, no pictures on the first day of school. They’re in 6th and 8th grade, and quite grown up. In fact, Chris…
