Married In Ohio

The Girl hosted “lunch” for the girls on her soccer team today. During two-a-days the seniors that live near the practice field invite the team over and today was our day. They were well organized and behaved. They got their own food, cleaned up after themselves and even provided transportation for the girls who were [...]

I need a magic wand or a new car whichever is easier. I was taking The Girl for a drive today in preparation for her upcoming driver exam when the transmission started slipping in and out of 4th gear when we were going down the highway. That’s never a good thing since there is no [...]

It’s taken eight hours spread over two days; but I finally got the original version of Myst running on The Boy’s laptop. We stayed up very late Wednesday night Thursday morning then got right back at it when I got home for work this afternoon. As an adult, he loves playing computer games from his [...]

The Girl has another week of school; but the first week of June has always marked the start of summer for us. The weather is typically warm, and we can enjoy summer activities. This summer is significant because it’s really the last one for The Girl to enjoy. We know from our experience with The [...]

Cold isn’t bad and neither is wind or rain; but, [...]

The Boy is home for Spring Break. 10 days in warm sunny Ohio. It was a long drive to get him; but we’re thrilled to have him home. Next year his plans may be entirely different. I’m not sure what the hot spring break destinations are for college kids; but Ohio is not on the [...]

January The Girl got her learner’s permit and The Boy earned a scholarship to college. It really started to sink in how different things are going to be in a few years months. February Celebrated the three year anniversary of Married In Ohio. The Boy wrestled in his final wrestling meet and perhaps the last [...]

The Boy is home from college. The Girl is finished with finals. And California Girl is tapping away on the keyboard finishing up her work for the year. The holidays are finally here. For many people, the holiday season starts the day after Thanksgiving; but, for us, it doesn’t truly begin until we’re all together [...]

Grades are posted and The Boy did very well in his first semester of college. We were a little bit worried because the first one that was available was his lowest mark; but he got “A”s in all of his other courses including his honors classes. He was a good student in high school but [...]
