Today, the family gathered for an extended Christmas celebration which my mother, father, sister, and I ALMOST did not make it to.

Speaking of family outings, we found a fun place weekends ago in Fort Wayne Indiana – it’s an indoor ice skating place, and they have THREE ice rinks! But we didn’t have time to try ice skating; our family was more interested in the bouncy castles. At $5 / head from 1-4pm, it wasn’t a

Last night, while the parents went to a holiday gathering I got to stay with some of my favorite little ones for a few hours. If I’m not mistaken they get a full two weeks for holiday break?! I think our own school doesn’t dismiss until Wednesday. As always, I had a ton of fun!
Looking for a bit of Christmas spirit (not THAT kind of spirit)? My nephew Alex, Megan, and I found a smattering at the Huber tonight as the Village Players presented a duo of one act plays. Things got started with an adorable retelling of the immortal Nutcracker story. Most of the cast was made up
December 18 marks two anniversaries of immense personal loss – 10 years ago today, my father-in-law passed away from ALS. Though some memories are still painful, a decade of time has numbed the pain of his loss a little, and it’s easier to focus on the good times we shared and the countless wonderful things
