Nancy Drew and the Lost Box

So, she went to Facebook to see if she could find her mystery family.  At this point I was like how does she have a box that belongs to someone else?  Has she had this box for 30 years?  What is happening and who is this woman?  And how in the world did a Facebook search lead her to Lowi & G?

Meet Herman

This has become a regular affair and after daily visits this summer, I have named him.  What mom isn’t going to name a sweet baby who shows up on their porch and obviously wants to be adopted?  His name is Herman and before you ask, no, I have not been feeding him.  I want to.  Shoot, I want to invite him in and give him his own bedroom.

The Browns Take the UK

Two weeks after Reese graduated from Colorado State we took a trip of a lifetime with our kids.  We have been talking about taking a trip overseas with the whole fam for a few years and this year, we finally made it happen.  We all met in London since we were departing on different days…

Summertime Blues

So, if you are a mom and you are reading this, it’s okay.  You aren’t alone.  I’m also sitting here thinking about a daughter moving, mapping out the distance, wondering if she is prepared to be that far away, wondering if I am prepared for her to be that far away, thinking about how proud I am of her and how excited I am for this next adventure. 

The In-Between

If vacations, graduations, and big life events were our only moments with these kids, I would be grateful for the time, but I know that so much life is happening in the days, weeks, and months between our visits.
