Wendy Jans Benefit…Amazing!

Football Saturday

A BAD IDEA!!!  I twisted my upper body very slightly to try and crack my lower back and now I’m in just a wee bit of pain.  Don’t think my lower abdomen was quite ready that.

Long time, no blog! I have just not had the motivation for long blog postings, so sorry if people are feeling somewhat out of the loop! I’m currently at the hospital, kids with Travis, just hanging with my fam. Amazingly, we’re not here for Dad! Mom has been having some uterine problems and [...]

August 2nd Update

We had close friends come in town last weekend and it was wonderful!  My mother got pampered, with massages and naps two days in a row, their kids did a great job with my girls, and my dad and brother had some new guys around for their “boy time.”  Travis had to work 12 hour [...]
