day 137 of 2026

There are lots of end of the year things happening.

GB#2 has worked very hard in her choir performances

 and received this peer voted honor 

at today's choir award banquet.

 

Day 100 of 2026

GB#2 sang a solo/duet tonight in front of a large crowd. 

What courage and confidence that takes. 

She and her singing partner did very well. 

I am so proud of them.

I would ask where am I, 

but it seems pretty obvious that I am at the theater. 

I took GB#2 to see a show for her birthday. 

So the question for the day instead will be 

what show are we seeing?

What is It?

 

Day 319 of 2025

We went to see GB#3 (center) in his school musical tonight. 

It was great fun for us, he was great and he had fun. 

Triple win.

Day 118 of 2024

Today we took a road trip to celebrate and remember Fireball's parents 

whose birthdays and wedding anniversary all fall within a month's span. 

One stop found us at a small zoo. 

GB#2, GB#3, GB#4 and GB#5 all found themselves in an eagle's nest.

 

Day 13 of 2024

We had some extra time today

 which I thought might be a good time to fill with some crafting. 

GB#2 was eager to join me. 

The first giant rosette she made was from a predesigned pattern. 

The second and third ones she made were all her ideas. 

I am so proud of this girl for trusting herself and having the confidence

 to create something all her own.
