and so it begins...

With practice four times a week, life has been a wee bit busy. It was a rough start for Ren because the boy simply isn't into running. At all. Add several pounds of gear to the mix and you've got one s-l-o-w boy. Things seem to be better this week; Ren is really making an effort to hustle. And pay attention. He's even having fun.

Go figure.

Heard about a cool faithbooking resource today. (One of the many joys of Twitter.) The blog is called "Good Grief" and is all about scrapbooking through loss and grief... a subject close to my heart. Just click HERE to check it out for yourself.

I have a funny incident story to leave you with tonight. You know when you go to Dairy Queen and they hand you the ice cream treat upside down to show how thick it is? Well, that happened today. The boys had never seen anyone do it before so it was a huge topic of conversation as we ate our treats. Ten minutes later, my 9-year old decided to test it out himself.

Ten very melty minutes later.

Needless to say, his entire Blizzard ended up in a clump on the table. (And in his hair.)

Meeley was quick on his feet and had most of it cleaned up before I even put the camera away. Because I had my priorities in order.
