When deciding whether to radiate, I did my homework and met with many different specialists. But, the potential parade of horrible side effects was long and varied and never consistent between any 2 practitioners. So, we never really knew what we were getting into (except that we were hopefully getting out of another recurrence). Until …

No, No, Bobo!
Asher (aka “Boboâ€) really gets into everything. He loves to be in the mix and often makes a mess. If we leave the computer chair pulled out, he’ll jump up and take control of the mouse and start banging on the keyboard and within seconds he’ll mess the computer up so badly that even Andy …
Ready, Set, Go!
The boys and I have been racing around the main floor of the house at full speed lately. I move the coffee table and kitchen table a bit, but it’s definitely not risk free.  It is, however, good exercise for me and they have a ton of fun. So, it’s a win, win. Little Bobo though is often …
Chaos at Home
I got an absolutely hilarious email from Andy while at work today. Well, hilarious for me, but not for him. Here’s what he said: “Today is a day you can be glad to be a working mom, not a stay-at-home one. Jude plugged the toilet this morning.  He told me it plugged, but didn’t bother …
The Fam
Here’s a recent picture we took of our family. The boys are all looking at a lady wearing googly glasses that we handed her to try to get some grins. It worked! Â
Jude’s 1st Report Card
Jude’s first report card from his virtual academy arrived today. I was planning on not sharing it with Jude because I expected it to be stellar and don’t want him getting too complacent and thinking he doesn’t have to work hard. But, it’s really nothing to brag about. There are 4 number grades, with 4 …
Tree’s Up
Andy has a rule that the Christmas tree cannot go up before Thanksgiving. So, I like to get it set up on the day after Thanksgiving. The boys always have a lot of fun seeing the ornaments, playing with them and breaking them before they can even get them up on the tree. Jude was …
Eat and Run
Well, we sort of pulled an eat and run at my parents’ house. We arrived last night and spent the night and were planning to stay until mid to late afternoon today, but our stay was cut short. At about 5 a.m., I got a cell phone call. I checked it and noticed it was from …
Give Thanks
I have a fitting song stuck in my head this Thanksgiving weekend: Give thanks with a grateful heart Give thanks to the Holy One Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son And now let the weak say, “I am strong” Let the poor say, “I am rich” “Because of what the Lord has …
Mike’s Getting Married!
This just in…my older brother Mike is engaged!!! His bachelor status has been a manner of international interest, with people as far away as Germany asking regularly about his status. Apparently he popped the question to Sara this morning when he picked her up at her house. Sara described the proposal as “Mike-like” and “not …
