It was my day to take a note from the 12 days calendar Ella brought home from school. Reading these are making me feel pretty good, but also giving me some things to think about.

Christmas Notes
Yesterday our youngest daughter Ella came home from school with a twelve days of Christmas calendar. Each day has a note in it whose recipient alternates between Jen and I. Yesterday was Day 1 and had a note for Jen. Today was a note for me. Jen warned me hers made her cry so IContinue reading “Christmas Notes”
Friends Christmas Party
Last night we had our annual friends gift exchange party. We have an awesome group of close friends and there are a lot of kids in the mix. We decided a number of years back we’d draw names so each kid bought one small gift for one of the other kids. The best part ofContinue reading “Friends Christmas Party”
Christmas Decorating
We went hunting for Christmas tree this morning and found a really great one. We tried a new tree farm this year and had a wonderful experience.

Like many business / leadership books and articles I’ve read there are many comparisons I can make to parenting.Continue reading “Fast Forward 20 Years”
My boy makes me happy at the end of a day!
And then there was one
Just to pile things on I guess, today I got to play grave digger. One of our rabbits passed away. That makes two out of three. I feel bad for the last one. I’m sure it will be lonely by itself. This morning my oldest went to feed them and was worried one wasn’t lookingContinue reading “And then there was one”
