We are so thankful for our short time with a sweet, little ferret.
Last year for Christmas Gillian only wanted a ferret to have a pet of her own. I honestly could not believe that we were entertaining the idea of buying one ferret but when we met the bonded pair of Lizzy and Blizzard, Kip and I knew they were going to become part of our home [...]

We are so thankful for our short time with a sweet, little ferret.

Smokey
If you would have asked me last year if I would ever have a cat for a pet, my answer would have been somewhat snobbish. “No way, I am a dog person!”
However this past Easter, this cute little white, black, gray and a hint of brown colored cat formerly known as Curtis, stole our hearts.

I Love these Guys
The apple does not fall far from the tree with these two. Hayden has his daddy’s wit and brains. I am very blessed to have two good men in my life.
Life Father, Like Son.
Grand-Daddy Robert
As a result of a little bit of research for Gillian’s School’s Immigration Day (which actually consisted of an email to my awesome sister-in-law), we discovered a fun bit of news. Our children’s Great (x24) Grandfather was King Robert II of Scotland.
When Gillian took this bit of news to school as part of her project, her [...]

When our lives started to be ruled by our aches, pains and health issues, I decided it was time to do some research. What I found was alarming. I started to feel sil [...]
All In A Day’s Work
I love productivity!
Isn’t it funny that we creatures find so much joy & fulfillment in getting things done? Something about seeing those little check marks of completion on my lists just make me smile.
Some days I have to just be satisfied with getting dishes and laundry checked off my list. It is those rare occasions when you can [...]
The Nut House
This is a laugh out loud moment for Kip and I, one we had to remember because, again in hindsight it is really funny!!!
A couple days ago, Gillian was downstairs looking for a stuffed animal. When after a few minutes we hear her scream! From where Kip was sitting he heard, “FIRE !!!!!!” I really couldn’t tell what she sai [...]
Valentine Day Card Massacre
Surely it was not done with malice…..right? Our canine family members love us too much to do anything to hurt us.
The only thing that makes sense is that they thought that the chocolate hearts and cards were for them. Piper, Bennett….next time could you please wait until we give you your gifts? It is rather rude for you to just [...]
Memories
I just love it when something can trigger good memories for this feeble memory of mine. After I dropped all my precious peeps off this morning, I came home and started clearing the breakfast dishes. I turned on that boob tube and it was on Disney Channel and Little Einsteins was on. Oh the flood of memories that came rushing in; just hearin [...]
