I’m in a rather talkative mood, and since there aren’t any grown-ups around to talk to, and since my dear children have settled down for their naps, I thought I’d talk here to you. Although, I do realize that I will be doing all the talking and you will be doing all the listening, but I figured you wouldn’t mind.

The other night some friends invited us to a local basketball game. And even though we didn’t know any of the players, we went because Gideon really needed to experience a basketball game. And I was really surprised, but we all had fun. 

My favorite part of the basketball game was not the basketball part. Much to my husband’s dismay, I don’t really care about the basketball part. But, I did like watching all the teenagers and listening to the band. Teenagers are absolutely fascinating to me. But, I am very happy that I’m not a teenager anymore. I never did like that annoying confused feeling.

Another highlight to the basketball game was snack-time. I’m pretty sure that was Bubby’s favorite part, too.

Another thing I love is looking out my kitchen window and seeing Brent walking with our kiddos in from the woods. Can you see them way out there? Now, isn’t that the sweetest thing?

And speaking of my husband, you wanna know something really amazing about him? He spends lots of time with us. On Sunday, he encouraged us all to go outside and go sledding. And then he stayed out there in the yard and built a snow-man. And at one point, I looked out and saw him teaching Hopey how to make a snow angel. I fell in love with him again, right there in the kitchen.
