  • I’m Not A Photographer

    I got a new camera. Ten days later I am ready to admit…I am NOT a professional photographer. When I opened my Christmas gift with wide eyes of excitement I envisioned myself making money. I had already researched how I could sell my photos online. Let me just tell you…it is hard. Very hard.

  • Shoe Leather Steak Night

  • Why didn’t you sell that dangerous thing?

    Aaron was supposed to be getting dressed. I heard him digging around near the laundry basket of clean clothes but finding a shirt for school was not on his list of priorities this morning. Aaron: “AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!” (followed by dramatic sobbing…)
