We planted strawberries. AND they’re thriving. This is our first haul. They are so sweet and juicy. Happy happy kids today.

AMAZING lake camping weekend with friends. Montierths came up for the day and we had the Glazners all weekend. ALL the kids were happy. ALL of them. We spent hours on the lake, had a massive egg hunt of confetti eggs followed by an epic smash war, and ate soooo much yummy food. And Jon napped lots. It was perfect.

We’ve kept her alive and in decent condition for THIRTEEN years now. 13! She’s our Shrimpy Mcshorty. Our sassy mother hen. Our person who made us parents. We couldn’t possibly love this girl more. And just like that she’s 13! She’s amazing, strong (spiritually/physically/emotionally), kind, funny, sassy, and wise. She’s just a little Mama with an old soul. We sure have had a blast getting to know her over the last 13 years and we can’t wait to see what this next turn around the sun brings for her. Whatever it is she’ll rock it with her usual persistence and far fewer swear words than her Mama. Every day we are blessed by this girl here. We’re truly blessed to be her parents and get to witness her daily growth. She’s pretty amazing and we’re ever so grateful that she chose us. We love you FOR.EV.ER Tootsie!!
