News alert


No, the Twin Cities was not hit by another weather disaster. This time it's all good.

Just got a call from Bob. A big thing happened this morning: it was the first time Garrett didn’t throw a tantrum at daycare. He got to his classroom, looked around, hugged papa and then waved "bye-bye." Not even a tear. Woo-hoo!!!! Break out the band. We’re heading straight to DQ after work tonight. Treats for all.

Very exciting news! He's understanding how things are going - he might be enjoying his time with other kids too :)

That is really awesome. It's so unbelievably COOL when you see progress with your children. It's my favorite thing about being a mom, and also teaching. I just teach Sunday school, but when the kids "get it", I just get goosebumps. It's so fantastic to be a part of molding young minds. :)

That is very happy news and I know that your heart is so full.
Blizzards for everyone, indeed!!!

Such Great news! It does feel so good when you don't have to leave them screaming.....definitely blizzard worthy! We finally after a year have been able to leave Nick most anywhere without this look of panic on his face...it is so freeing! Unfortunately the last great hurdle was the YMCA childcare which has meant almost a year without working out (he wouldn't sit in a stroller either) my poor out of shape body has paid the price! lol!

Happy Blizzard Day! karen

Yeeehaaaa this IS great news! You ALL deserve to celebrate. BTW, I didn't have a chance to comment on yesterday's post, but man oh man he gets cuter by the day!! He looks healthier and happpier (even after being traumatized by the hail). Ahhhh, the power of love. You're a great mom, Karen!!!

Major headline for sure. He is such a cool kid.

That is such a good feeling when you drive away. I remember with my older daughter just being torn up inside when she would cry when I would leave her.
Yea for Garrett!
