I've been blogging for six years now. Wow. You know one reason why I started? Melessa. She was doing it. So, I thought I'd join in.
Melessa has a great talent for reminiscing and writing about it in a way that is interesting and entertaining*--whether you were there or not. I love reading about her... Comment - Like

Sure, it's October. The kids have been in school for several weeks now. And...it's been a resounding success!
Caleb is in 2nd grade. He loves his teachers and his classmates. This year was his best transition yet from summer to school. I think it may have a little to do with Academy of Rock and ... Comment - Like

Eva is starting school this year and for a week in the summer, they have Kindergarten Kamp. She got to spend a few hours a day learning the ropes. Good thing she's getting her counting down...
Well, we're working on it. Comment - Like

I can't keep up with this blog anymore. It pains me to say it...especially because I blog for a living. But, because of that I need to let go of this one. I will still keep it published. I will probably still post from time to time. I just need to give myself permission to let it go.

Eva's 5 now so I thought I'd share a few things about my favorite girl.
1. She lost her first tooth just days before her 5th birthday.
2. She gets in trouble at school sometimes because she's very protective of her "boyfriend". She told me today that it makes her so sad that other people like him ... Comment - Like

It's possible that my daughter has seen me on more than a fair share of Skype calls lately. That's what happens when you have 3 business partners that live far away. She also kept throwing up her hands and shaking her head a lot. I wonder where she got that from? Comment - Like

Eva lost her first tooth today. We did a mini photo shoot but didn't do it until it was dark and all Eva wanted to do was show off the tooth...not the cute hole in her smile. Caleb wanted in on the action, too. When I showed them this picture I told Caleb that he looked serious. Eva chimed in an... Comment - Like

I think I need to learn the Nebraska fight song.
Some members of Carl's department at the University asked him to go up for tenure a year early. It doesn't hurt to try. So, for the past several months, he's been going through all the stuff that entails. Paperwork, reviews, more paperwork, waiting... Comment - Like

Last night was our big Go Red for Women event where they paraded us on stage and showed a video of all of us that made us cry. Let me tell you...this group of women? Amazing. We all had our own personal struggles and many had stories that would just melt your heart. But you know what? We stuck ... Comment - Like

I can't believe Caleb is already seven years old. His birthday weekend was a lot of fun. We spread it out over the course of a few days because Carl had to be gone on Caleb's actual birthday for a scout trip. Anyway, Caleb didn't mind.
We had a little "surprise" party for him on the actual day.... Comment - Like

This may have been the longest I've ever gone without posting on this blog. I just feel like I've never been so busy in all my life. I don't have time to keep up with this site as much anymore. It's a shame, really. It will never completely go away. I'll still update it now and again. I wouldn'... Comment - Like

I'm pretty sure my son is the only little kid in the whole world that has ever uttered this phrase:
Mom, I just want to look like Ava Barber!*
They sure like their Lawrence Welk. Here you can catch a glimpse of the kids watching an episode when we were getting our new TV ready to put on the wall.

I consider myself pretty geeky. I love the internet, blogging and all of my social media stuff. One thing I don't do is text. Not my thing. It's only in the past year or two that I've actually started using my cellphone more than my home phone. Texting just seemed silly when I hardly used my ph... Comment - Like
