Most people would consider the mid-60s too cool for a dip in the pool, but Mason insisted upon starting our day off with a swim. I suppose the allure of a rooftop pool and hot tub were too hard to pass up. Once changed, we were off to start our day. We had an early […]
Mason made fast work of painting for the traditional book character project. As Walker did, he chose a character that he could present using a good old fashioned gourd. I’m really proud of Mason’s work. He came up with the plan and painted it all himself. All I did was crochet the Lightning Balls. Here […]
Yesterday, the middle school students journeyed out of school for a Fall Faith Day. Last year Bill and I attended. This year they visited Saint Joseph Holy Family. I love the spirit of fun and faith these pictures show. I do not know all of the activities that took place but I do know they […]

It’s National Walk to School Day! It was crisp morning but the sun was shining—a perfect way to start the day.
The Evansville Half Marathon has a special place in my heart. With our busy schedule, I wasn’t really sure I would be able to do it this year. I half-heartedly trained, signed up later than usual and showed up not knowing exactly how I would do. I met up with these lovely ladies at the […]
