I told Ty to look thoughtful. Did he break his brain? What, in heaven's name, is that boy doing with his lips?
It was quite likely all but inevitable. In a house with five sons you might think this would’ve happened long ago, but you would’ve thought wrong. On Monday, Ty and [...] This is sweet Leif. He likes to be where I am. Or where his Dad is. If I step backward without checking, there’s a better than average chance that I’ll step on him. He’s my right elbow guy (because that’s his preferred location.) We were confabbing at the grill while I whipped up some hamburgers last week. [...] My wild and crazy crew was lucky enough to be visited by my Dad-and-Val (my counterpart here at Foodie With Family) over the holidays. After five days of relief for me (“Hey! Why don’t you go share that stream-of-consciousness story idea you’re developing with Grandma? She LOVES to read!” and “Papa is outside walking the dog.

The batten and paint are nearly done. We completed one upstairs bedroom and finally moved our beds upstairs! The den is on it’s way to becoming an actual den.
The kids have been working [...] I’ll start with the ‘thank you’. An overdue ‘thank you’, at that. Natalie at Hot Garlic was kind enough to bestow an award upon us. Thank you muchly, Natalie! We’re blushing.
