Maybe just for now....

I am not going to blog for a while.

Life has taken on a rough turn, as we lost Roger's sister to suicide early this week. My focus needs to be with him at this time. My girls, my partner, my family all need my full attention. Just four short months ago we lost his dad, and now this tragedy has happened.

Please keep us in your thoughts, prayers and well wishes.

My concentration will be helping his heart to heal, holding his hand, and coping with the fact his family has been cut in half in less than 125 days.

Until that happens, adieu.

Spring Break Gymnastic Camp

We put HP in the gymnastic camp over the Spring Break. It was a godsend. It was from 9-4 for Monday-Thursday and she LOVED it. I loved it because she was off having fun with other kids and I did not have to be an entertaining idiot for four days. I also loved it because it tired her out that she was in bed sawing logs by 7:30 at night.

Spring Break bliss.

The day Quinners turned three


Quinn and a birthday friend,


Her beautiful cake. Ice cream of course. Without the cookie center to make it gluten free for me

The crown she made and wore at preschool. We baked cupcakes for her to take, and share. This was her first birthday that we had to make something for school!


Friends eating, playing barbies, and hanging out inside....


While the birthday girl played outside by herself.


A great day was had by all. I was most proud of Roger though, to be perfectly honest. He braved it all, got right in there and helped three year olds paint a terra-cotta pot for a flower to go in. Fired up the barbeque when it was time to eat cheese burgers, and blew up balloons. How do I thank him?

By dumping the water I used to rinse off the knife to cut the ice cream cake up. Yep. All down his pants.

Must be love.
