"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Friday Fun Day!

I was pretty excited this week to have an extra day off work today, so I told the boys they could choose a couple of activities. Ben wanted to go to Best Buy and research good gaming computers, so we did that. He asked some questions and got a better idea of what he wants to save his money for. Both Ben and Conner wanted to go to Spare Time for bowling and games. We had a great time bowling and they loved playing some arcade games. We had a late lunch after all the fun. It was really wonderful spending time with my two adult sons. I have been missing spending time with them and I enjoyed seeing them out in the community interacting with people, making decisions, laughing, and having productive conversations. It was one of those moments where I could breathe and think that despite all the obstacles, my guys are going to be all right! It was the best way to spend a day!

Gardens...

We upgraded our gardening game this year and got new garden boxes. We actually grew something! Nick just picked a huge jalapeno pepper! He is the only one who will use it, but we were pretty excited!
