Highlights from Ps & Q

Saturdays are usually pretty busy, and this one was even a bit more so. Erin had some lessons to give, and I took the kids to do our usual grocery shopping, but this time we were also thinking and planning ahead for a little road trip to the mountains we're taking...

Friday was Henry's second day of in-person pre-K. Yesterday I wrote about how much he loved his first day, and was excited to tell us all about it. We were very glad to see that he was just as excited to go to his second day.We debated for quite a while about how and...

Thursday I found myself a bit virtually over scheduled.My schedule for the day was as follows. From 9-11am, I was registered to attend a virtual conference. I had to leave that a few minutes early to serve as moderator of a webinar from 10:45 to noon. Then from noon...

On Friday, the morning seemed to zip by as we all went about our daily activities. Erin had some dog training clients in the afternoon, and I was hard at work while the kids, mercifully, enteretained themselves really well. They were playing lots of imagination...

On the afternoon of Inauguration Day, Erin and I finally went out and got new running/walking shoes. I at least attempt to run somewhat regularly, and Erin is taking long walks and doing some running too, and it had been an embarrassing amount of time since either of...
