Bloganuary prompt – Jan 1
What is something you want to achieve this year? I think of myself as not particularly ambitious, which is true and also not quite correct. The true part is that I’m not inclined to glory. I don’t need to get the credit or be well-known, or any of that (I do thrive on validation, however). […]

Reading
I realize I just blogged about reading this year, but here we are again. After I picked up Cloud Cuckoo Land at the airport Friday, I really thought, “this is what I will snack on all the rest of the year. As I lie around relaxing with the fam, I’ll be reading this.” But I […]

A year of murder

Eleven!
The twins are eleven! Hitting double digits last year was a big milestone, but somehow, eleven feels much bigger. We’re on the cusp of tweenage years, and puberty is looming.

Bob at 42
Today Bob is 42, which is the answer the life, the universe, and everything. This year of his life has been one of my favorites to spend with him; it’s been a very good year! He’s gotten stronger, working with his coach to become an excellent Masters runner. He’s switched jobs and spends his days […]

Costumes
For the third year, the twins chose to be dinosaurs. And Grant continues to make his way through the Paw Patrol.
