I got up early after our marathon day in Indy to go for a long run with Kristy who is training for her second marathon. It was a beautiful morning! We logged 10 miles and then headed home. Our family plan was to start decorating. It did feel a little odd to have leftover turkey […]
No way! Ours was quite colorful! We spent the day at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. These photos are of the Fireworks of Glass ceiling created by Dale Chihuly. The boys were happy to be at the museum for opening day of the Yule Slide. Despite their ages, the boys have yet to tire of it. […]
It is good to have hearts full of gratitude. Our day was traditional in the Selby sense. For the second year in a row, we ran the Turkey Trot as a family and again Kim joined us. It was very cold! We bundled up with several layers. Once we were moving, the cold was manageable […]
Every year our school adopts a family at this time of the year and each student is asked to contribute a small amount to help make that family’s Christmas a bit brighter. The second graders launched the giving project today with a special dance based on an animated video of Santa dancing. Mason danced his […]
The Wolves were a lively group at the Pack Meeting tonight. After the entire group was called up to the front of the room, they were invited to share the rules of bowling. Each one got a chance to speak. Mason reminded everyone to stay off the bowling lane. The leaders presented them with their […]

What a treat to be able to attend Mass in another town! I visited St. Rose Philippine Duchesne on the weekend of her feast day. It was a lovely church with architecture reflective of the locale. Chrissy and the girls picked me up and we had a knitting lesson. Don’t let my serious face alarm […]
The Dirty Girl Mud Run was the impetus for my trip to Phoenix. I have run for distance, I have run in the rain and I have run through color but I have never run through mud. Until today. The sun was out but it was not warm. Chrissy’s sister, Jen, did an amazing job […]
Early this morning the boys dropped me off for my flight to spend the weekend with my dear friend, Chrissy. Though we have maintained our friendship over the phone, the last time we saw each other was at our California going away party in 2007. That was so long ago! Her daughters, Tallie and Lily, […]

Today they hosted a special mass just for the 5th graders and the seniors. At the beginning of Mass, each of the grammar […]
