A Merry Christmas to all

I am finished!

I picked up the last few stocking stuffers and wrapped all that was remaining last night. Did I care that I didn’t cut enough wrapping paper to cover an entire gift? No! Because I could see the finish line and was at peace with cutting corners!

I really enjoy Christmas and it’s all because of my kids, Colin and Adrian. They make it fun and exciting. And everyone is busy at this time of year whether you’re a [...]

An A for effort

Finally! After two weeks of research and preparation, Colin was scheduled to present his project on crocodiles. This project has consumed so much of our family time, that I now consider my self a crocodile enthusiast (as opposed to expert). I’ve been living and breathing fresh-water and salt-water crocodiles!

I also found it interesting [...]
