Hey friends,
This isn’t me. But it’s about how I feel after Christmas.
Ready for a nap.
Right?
So, are you digging yourself out of wrapping paper and pine needles?
But oh, what a fun season we had! All the kiddos home, and one even brought his beautiful fiancee!
Are you as freaked out as I am that this summer is nearly over? The Minnesota State Fair started over the weekend and it signals The End.
(these are my sons, hanging out last year at their favorite food stand! (okay, not really, but they had to try it!))

Hey friends!
I can admit, I might be a little biased, but after spending a week with these rascals, I am feeling blessed to be their mother. (and wife–hubs went with us. Hated to leave him behind. He carried stuff. And he’s rather fun to have around. Hard to tell, I know.)
These men remind me why I write about families.

Only problem….I often travel on the weekends at speaking events. Which I love.
But I love his cooking,

I’m so sad. High School Football season died on Tuesday night when the #3 seeded team in the state beat us. That’s all I’m going to say about that because my poor 9th grader (Big #33) who started on VARSITY (yes, VARSITY) had to stay home from school the next day, wrapped in his blankie to weep (in front of the television).
