Wife, mother, laugh-er at very inopportune moments, and matchmaker. I am an excessive user of commas and exclamation marks. I once won March Madness despite knowing nothing about basketball, and I know how to find all the best Dunkin Donuts coupons. Clearly my talents are just endless.

Sesame’s summer as told by Sesame

“I don’t do blogs but I guess I can help with yours. Ok, let’s see. My favorite shows to watch this summer are Wizards of Waverly Place and The InBestigators. My favorite podcasts are Wow In the World, Who When What, Bobby Wonder and Circle Round. We went to a water park. We went to Boston. I went to Winshape. This is when we built one of our forts.
We played in the dirt pile in the backyard. It’s called Dirt City. I build houses and bury the shovel so when I come back I can dig it up with my hand.

I’m a ghost in this picture. I said, ‘no more pictures, Mom!’

We walked at the lake and fed all the ducks. My favorite ducks are named Bushtop, Hangtime and Dragon. Their favorite snack is bread.

We went to the coffee shop after church and I wore my gray hat. It was my detective hat from Halloween. The people at church liked it and kept saying it looked cute, but it wasn’t supposed to be cute! It was just a hat! I didn’t like all the attention when they kept saying that.

We did gardening. Mom’s tomatoes were a big snack for the bugs! The peppers are ok and they’re still growing now. That’s about it about my summer. Can I finish my puzzle now?”

Last week, Sesame's extra rehearsals for dance began. The way our studio is set up, the waiting room is positioned so the dance room can't be seen and we don't get to see the girls practice. When I saw her on the stage at the theater dancing for the first time I half...

come to me with all your marriage conundrums

Yesterday was our 8th anniversary. In years past, I prepared posts and facebook statuses days in advance and scheduled them for the 29th. I made sure everything was done on time. This year I meant to write something on Sunday afternoon but I took a nap instead. "Nap"...
