Count You Twice

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Looking forward to a little lamb stew tonight with my favorite boy tonight.  (The kids are up at Grandpa & Grandma's farm this week for spring break.) And company of some good friends.

Monkey Business

This Valentine's Day was all monkey business... ahhh... Valentine's 2015, I am sad to see you go...

And Grandma watched the boys so Craig and I could enjoy a little take out and the movie, "Begin Again".

Sometimes simple and low key is better.  No.  Best.

Christmas Party Time

Kind of a demanding little fella.  Like I didn't have anything better to do with my Saturday.

At least he's polite?

Doin' fancy tonight... at Moose Lodge. Is that a UFO?

Here we goooo.....  night out with my hubby.  First Christmas party with his new co-workers at his new job.  Happy.

Serious Business

Got some serious business taken care of tonight.

A night of Christmas traditions. Pizza. Chocolate. Games. Pajamas. Family.

The Other Place

These are desperate times.

Our boots are kissing... heh.

Trying out a new place in town... The Other Place.  Not bad.

A Little

Throwback Thursday: Christmas 2007 Elf Yourself... this little "gem" was brought back to my attention this morning. Life has changed in seven years.  A little.

Saturday Basketball Mornings

And the seasons change, baseball turns into basketball....reunited and it feels so good.

Today's elf action involved Mommy's IPod shuffle.  Good thing she doesn't need to use it today.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Early morning elf messes (he's getting messier!)...

Special chocolates for afternoon snack...

(Look who got the last chocolate in the box!  Thanks to my little bro for treats from his recent visit to Hawaii with Libby.  Aloha.)

Poetry on my wall...

(First thing I'm going to see when I wake up every day.  Song of Solomon has become one of my favorite chapteres in the Bible... a great love story... "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine.")

Happy.

Doing His Thing

Throwback Thursday: In honor of his half a century week, here's Craig a few years ago.

The first is Craig from his high school baseball days.  The second is Craig doing his thing in the 80s... post-college, I think.  As you can see, the picture didn't translate real well into digital media, but you get the idea.
