Jump Start

We are getting a jump start on our vegetable garden this year…thanks to Chris’s motivation.  Chris must have inherited his green thumb from his Papa Coleman (Cole’s name came from him), an avid gardener.  I really can’t claim any part of it other than I went along on the trip to Bloomington Hardware to buy … Continue reading →

Early 3

Cole turns 3 next week on the 26th.  I can’t believe it!  We’re going to be in Florida on his big day, so we surprised him with his birthday gift today.  It’s very sunny and warm…a perfect Lightning McQueen bike day.    Chris doesn’t work until later this afternoon today, so he and Cole worked … Continue reading →
