Worth the Wait

I was the last one to eat. Not all that unusual for a mom I guess. However, I had an opportunity to eat sooner if I were to settle for cold cuts. But no, not I. I chose to broil my provolone cheese and tomato on wheat bread in the oven. Yum. It was totally [...]

Little do they know that the rest of the neighborhood calls it Poop Rock because all of the dogs in the area gravitate to [...]

Soccer

Ryan started a 3 year old Pee Wee Soccer league this weekend. He was thrilled to be grown up enough to be in a real soccer game! He wore a yellow M&M shirt to match his team mates. He got a few good kicks in during the game and ran his heart out! He was [...]
