Today is our second, first day of school for the year. Owen’s first day was yesterday and Ivan starts today. They do attend the same school, but as Ivan is starting kindergarten there is a phase in schedule that didn’t include him yesterday.

My sister and brother-in-law and their four boys have been to Tennessee and gone again. It’s been a fun couple of weeks having them around. They stayed at my other sister’s home this year and kept them all busy. They are now up at my dad’s house, enj…

“I don’t know what I would do if I lost my mom.”
Loss requires an infilling
