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. …

Levi’s Quote of the Day
“Asher is so nice. God made he way, way good.”
Silly String Scare
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 …
Update on Asher
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, the Almost Big Boy
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 …
A Week with Friends
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 …
Jude’s Quote of the Day
Today was Jude’s final parent/teacher conference of the year with his online school. His teacher had him read her a chapter book about Mars during the conference. She was quizzing him on his comprehension. One of the questions she asked him is what may have happened to liquid water on Mars. She sounded kind of …
A Wedding and a Workout
This weekend was great. My older brother finally got married. We are thrilled that he was so selective and waited for the right one. He endured a lot of comments over the years. On June 23, 2010, which was a couple weeks before Mike met Sara, I commented to my Grandma Proper that Mike was …
Going Outside
Winter is dragging on here in Minnesota, with our most recent snowfall just a couple days ago. The boys are rearing to get outside, especially because Andy tends to keep them cooped up all day long. To increase the likelihood that the boys would get to go outside to play in our fenced-in backyard while …
3 Days, 3 Rabbits
One of Jude’s favorite TV shows is Billy the Exterminator. Imagine how excited Jude will be to learn when he wakes up today that they have trapped their 3rd rabbit in 3 days. Andy is trying to rid the yard of rabbits so that the hostas have a fighting chance. I’m wondering if the delicious …
