Wait till next year…
I’ll bet you thought I forgot. I’ll bet you thought I was going to just let this series of posts fade away like Wonderful Wookiee Wednesday and Flashback Friday (which started waaaay before the whole Throwback Thursday trend.

Back when the kids were younger and I had some pretty important responsibilities on Sunday mornings, this weekend was pretty chaotic and even a little bit stressful sometimes. Now that…

Mihret’s Big Catch
We took the kids fishing last night at an area park. The big kids started off and Mihret just tossed some rocks on the shore, perfectly content. When Aly lost interest, Mihret insisted that she have a turn. So, I cast out the line and let her reel it in. She seemed perfectly content. But…

Aiden has been looking forward to this day for weeks. No, seriously…weeks.
