Today's fill-in-the-blank:
I feel like an outsider when ______________.
SWISH!
Today's question:
A swish is a perfect shot. What has recently worked out perfectly for you?
Hunting for treasure—aka coins PawDad buries in the sand—has always been one of Bubby's favorite things to do at Gramma and PawDad's house. So when I picked up Megan and the boys at the airport yesterday, Bubby's first request was to hunt for treasure when we got home.
Which is exactly what Bubby and Mac did.
Today's question:
When did you last play in sand, whether in a sandbox, at the beach or elsewhere?
One week from tomorrow, I'll be snuggling this sweetness.

Today's question:
What are a few of your favorite things about babies?
Going through my mother-in-law's old photos of her and her siblings has me considering my own siblings and the few photos I have of us.
I'm pretty sure the center photo below, now 11 years old, is the last one there will ever be of all seven of us together. Funny thing I just realized: It might be the only photo there ever was of all of us together.
"Our siblings. They resemble us just enough to make all their differences confusing, and no matter what we choose to make of this, we are cast in relation to them our whole lives long."

Today's question:
When were you and all your siblings last together?
