Thanksgiving: Then and Now
When Allana attended preschool in 2006, her class sang “Tellie Turkey” during their Thanksgiving feast. (Allana is the first girl on the left in the long-sleeve pink shirt.)

One Little, Two Little, Three Little Pilgrims
Last year in first grade, Allana dressed as a pilgrim for her class’s Thanksgiving feast. My mom made this costume for my sister’s third grade Thanksgiving feast when we were kids. Can you believe my mom saved it all these years? This year, Emmalynn’s preschool hosted a Thanksgiving feast complete with turkey, pumpkin [...]

I am Woman. Hear Me Flush.
Last Saturday, Tiffany and I ran 13 miles to prepare for the Women’s Half Marathon this Sunday. This has been longest our run on the Starkey Trail and it was good that we did. We now know we don’t like running long distances on the trail. We prefer running in our neighborhood because of the [...]

OMIGOD
I found “Jesus” at The Hungryhouse Wife’s Halloween party. With all the delicious food, great music and fun costumes, the party was a truly heavenly event. Or perhaps it was simply sinful?
