Easter morning started with a slight argument about what Kalisha was choosing to wear to church that morning.

My husband had to go out of town for three days for a business trip this week. It's the first time he's been away for more than one night in 10 years of having kids.

My last post was about all of the things I've learned in my first 39 years on this planet. It's fair to say these have been insightful years.

The recent spate of killings and terror going on in Fort Wayne is disturbing on several levels.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve spent many hours pouring over thousands of pictures (I really need to improve photo organization).

Kalisha's main form of transportation is the Citilink bus system. It affords her some independence, although she has met some real loons on the bus, also.

My children are the source of my greatest joys and my darkest despairs. Last week it was Max's storming tantrums. This morning, he sang his own made-up lullabies while riding in the car to pre-K.

Kalisha is definitely a DVD collector. She has nearly 200 of them.

Today I celebrate the last year of my 30's with a little reflection. Each year I update the list of things I know for sure.

Wow — I never thought I'd get such a great response to last week's blog about my tantrum child.
