Day by day
Pretty cool when I think about how they have known each other since they were 5 That announcers booth up there is home base for the checkbook and my purse on Saturday game days. But then I have to run up and down those stairs the whole time chasing kids out of restricted areas, going [...]
Monday musings
I love when she rolls over like that So I am showing off the camera a bit. That photo was taken from about 6 feet away as I sat on the sofa. Here’s another from the same distance but with zoom: Now here is one from the other night. Low light, me sitting at the [...]
Roof update!!
Music Man and his friend hit the roof today. Not seeing anything obvious, they then headed into the attic to try and trace the water line. Which led them to believe that it must be leaking in the neighbors house too (it’s a twin home set up) because it looked like it was leaking right [...]

Jinxed myself
The beam at the highest point of the ceiling right above the bridge. Water marks on the wall of the bridge that I did not notice before but which are clearly dried. This area must have leaked on that Friday that Sportsboy came home from 6th grade camp (which was the last all night, all [...]
My home project for the day
Today being Sunday with no child at home and no tickets to a ball game (waaaah – I am starting to really miss those!), I decided in addition to the usual weekend cleaning that I would move some things around. As I commented on Rambling Mom’s blog last week, it is so odd to me [...]
