This day proved to be extra exciting, since we had Michael's Graduation and 3 SURPRISES unfold throughout the day ! I woke up at 0300 to prepare us for the day. The kids all woke up easily at 0500 because they were so excited. We had to leave the hotel before the continental breakfast began. …

People always say, "How do you do it all?".

Some days just do not go as originally planned. I planned for us to go to a local festival and then have a picnic in the park. Elias decided to wake up with me at 4 am. I normally awake before them to have a little quiet time and get prepared for the day without …

The kids always love going to see Daddy at work. When we heard the base was holding a family day, we were ecstatic! We were pleasantly surprised when I let Michael know we were there. He told us to wait by the van, since it is mandatory fun, and he is coming with us. As …
