I walked by Brandon's room and thought I left the light on. My little monkey didn't like wearing his hood. First time trick-or-treating. Every time kids came to the door, he tried to go back out with them. Cheesing for the camera. Candy, candy, candy. Foreshadowing on the left.
Not long ago, I was devastated. I was disappointed, then upset, then resentful. I let those emotions play out. I wrote to clear my head of it. I talked it through with Steve. And then, I chose to let it go. I decided I can chose to harbor resentment and be angry, but that is... Continue Reading →

What do you think when you read Brandon's shirt? It really didn't land in Washington. So I'll try again on my blog. I have faith in all of you.
We had a blast in Washington and Oregon. Last Saturday, we went to the Puyallup Fair. Saryn won the tractor pull and then did some mutton busting. Brandon loved seeing all the animals. He's a bit too small for the rides still. My little outlaw. On Sunday, we drove down to Amber and Dan's place... Continue Reading →
