Too Much Noise!
I sat down to write this morning and discovered that there is just so much going on. How can I choose “one” thing? Then I noticed that the reason I couldn’t come up with one topic is maybe because there’s too much noise. I don’t mean that literally, I’m actually in a very quiet home…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 7
Hi everyone! Liam here, just hanging out with Grampy. Guess where we went the other day? My mommy’s favorite place in the world! No, not Disney World. I can’t go there until I’m bigger. I guess it’s her SECOND favorite place in the world. TARGET! She goes there all the time. This time Grampy had…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. So….guess what happened the other night? No, I did not win the Publisher’s Clearinghouse and get a year of free Milk Bones. No, Uncle Matt did not leave a full box of Cheez Its on the night stand with the lid open. No, it was not another life…

Woof Wednesday
Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. What a crazy day we had the other day with the wind! It’s been a pretty quiet winter without much snow, which is okay with me. You don’t know how much snow really sucks (sorry), stinks, until you get it stuck in the pads of your feet. I…

Raising Grampy- Chapter 5
Hi everyone! It’s Liam, just hanging out with Grampy. It’s been another busy week for us. We have so much fun! I think that’s why he sleeps late on weekends. On Monday Grampy decided we would have fun by baking his famous chocolate chip banana bread. Well he SAID it was famous. I’ve never had…

Sometimes I Wonder
I find my mind wanders while I’m giving my grandson a bottle or while he’s sleeping in my arms. Number one, there’s no better feeling, but I find myself wondering about what his life will be like. Will he spend the spring and summer on a ball field while his mom and dad pack a…
