It was another busy weekend. It started with a HopeKids movie, Descipable Me 2, which we all enjoyed. Then the boys and I headed to Litchfield for the day. (Andy stayed home to “get stuff done,” as he so often does. I have come to think that must be code for “chill out.”) We attempted …

The 4th of July weekend was great. I had 4 days off in a row, which was a huge treat. I feel like I’m been just running on fumes for awhile now and it was great to get a nice break. The boys and I painted the play set, including the new addition that Andy …
The Olsons almost were no more. It all started with a storm on Friday night. We watched the rain pour down and a pond form in our back yard and a new river run by the side of our house. Then Andy watched as a tree branch from our yard blew down and hit a power line …
Jude has a full program this summer. He has karate and music on Mondays, t-ball on Tuesdays, karate on Wednesdays, t-ball on Thursdays, and karate on Fridays and Saturdays. I’m so glad I signed Jude up for t-ball in the evenings so I don’t miss it. I jump off the bus and then the boys …
After 11 tough years as a junior attorney at a big law firm, I busted out. I was recruited to join a smaller firm as a partner, doing the same thing I have always done, just a short walk from where I’ve always done it. It appears to be a really great move for me. …
“Asher is so nice. God made he way, way good.”
Today is Jude’s last day of anti-seizure meds. During the weaning process and after it, we’ll need to watch him like a hawk to ensure he doesn’t have a seizure. The other day, Jude was trying to say the word “silly string” but couldn’t think of the word and said, “um, um, um… .” Since …
Asher is 3 months away from being 2, which I find unbelievable. He’s doing great. Even with the bad hair cut he got recently that left him with no bangs, he is amazingly adorable. He is so talkative and fun. He can repeat anything anyone says. Yesterday he ran outside and saw the dog and politely said, …
Levi turned 3 in February. By this time, Jude was potty trained. It helped to train Jude while we were in Germany. Since we had to pay to go to the bathroom everywhere we went, I insisted he come with me, even if he said he didn’t have to go. And, it worked. Here in …
We were excited to spend the past week hosting our friends from Ukraine. We met them at Jill’s House in Indiana, where both Jude and their 4 year old daughter were undergoing radiation for brain cancer. The boys and Sofia played like they never missed a beat. Just amazing since the boys don’t speak Russian …
