My mind is focused on many things these days other than blogging. Hence the delay in the posts. Here is what I’m thinking about…in bullet format:) Brian returned from his 3rd and final trip last night. This last trip was 8 days. At times it went slow but overall it went fast and I would […]

This is what I see in Mason’s face as he rides his bike. FREEDOM!!! On Saturday, Mason learned to ride his bike without training wheels and pretty much hasn’t stopped since. He loves riding his bike. Circles, and circles and circles he does. Up and down our street. And I love watching him. I loved […]
