U PICK
Strawberries 1 mile &#8212;&#8211;&#62;

We rounded up my nephews and took them up to the Spirit of Mission Days, which is a typical small-town carnival and fair.  Brian and Arden took off and rode all the rickety rides while my [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not sure if you remember the story behind this tree or not, but the short version is that we planted this redbud tree right after Jack&#8217;s first birthday. We [...]]]></description>

How&#8217;s that?! The truth is I just suck at blogging these days. You know it and I know it. This year Jack was finally old enough to enjoy Easter, [...]]]></description>

I try&#8230; I think about it all the time. But something always happens&#8230; something urgent needs to be dealt with with work, I&#8217;m too tired, Jack wakes up early from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230; Jack spent a grand total of two days in preschool.  Nothing like calling the preschool to check on your child and hearing him crying hysterically in the background. I called more than an hour after Brian left, too.

		<description><![CDATA[Brian just took Jack off for his first half-day of preschool. This will be his first time away from home in someone else&#8217;s care. I think I&#8217;m going to cry.
I need to keep reminding myself that this is a GOOD thing. He needs to socialize with other kids and learn how to be more independent.
