Mazy’s First Day of Kindergarten

August 25, 2020

This girl couldn’t have been more ready to start school! She was so excited to see her teacher again, meet new friends, see an old friends, and just be at school. She loves learning (when it’s not from me, of course :)). She was counting down the days and more than ever, we couldn’t be more thankful to be IN school. And we will try to never take it for granted, knowing that it could change in a heartbeat.

Sweet girl, keep your simple faith. Keep loving others and God with your big heart. May your compassion shine and may that smile brighten those around you.

It was also my first day back at school, helping in the extended care program and really just helping where needed!

Her smile says it all:

To The Person On The Other Side

I get it. Loud kids can drive people crazy sometimes. I used to have those same thoughts. When I was naive and in my 20s, I didn’t get it. I didn’t get that kids just acted up when you least expected them to and sometimes when it’s the least appropriate time. The other day I…

Around The Home

This past week has yet again proved that our time is not in our hands, as I landed back at U of M for observation for about 24 hours. Thankfully I am feeling so much better after some medication changes. All of my tests came back clear, except I do have PVCs, which are extra…

Around the Home

I’m just going to start right off with this picture of a rainbox. This was taken at my in-laws house on Monday night, the day before I had some testing down at the U of M. I can’t say that day went completely as planned as we found out I was having a significant amount…

Investing In Us

It sure is easy to put all of my time and energy into just one of my loves! Our daughter! Over the last 15 months, I have come to learn that when Dan and I are not on the same page, there is a lot that seems like it’s not on the same page either….
