Soooo….
I was on my way back from the newly opened and much anticipated Trader Joe’s. It is the first one in Madison and if you have not been to one you are missing out. The sauces! The jams! The chocolates! The samples!!! I was picking up a few […]

We were out to lunch with some friends from church and I was joking around asking them if they knew anyone with a scooter that I could use to “scoot” to work and back (since I try to leave the car to Tracie as much as possible). They had a funny look on their faces […]

A week has passed. So far everything is going well.

Reconnecting with a lot of Tracie friends
Visiting a talking with supporters from the town.

Overall it has been a restful and busy time. Olivier has had […]

Watching Olivier makes me laugh so much! I’m so blessed to have such a fun child. - I just had to say that
Now, that its getting warmer, Olivier wants to play outside more and more. Our garden is still a bit grubby and not too much fun, so I walk up and down the sidewalks […]
