Snow day for the kids and I had to pop into the museum to pick up some equipment. Pretty fun to take a few minutes to walk around.

Just wanted to post something that makes me happy. Going through old pics and this one popped up. I still catch grief over this outfit I dressed my daughter in. She’s 10 now.

I got to witness some pretty amazing astronomical events in 2024 including a comet, moon bow and total solar eclipse. The best part was getting to experience them with my kids! #YearInReview #Astronomy #eclipse

We are going through my mom’s house and are giving this trunk to some family. The family history is that my great great grandparents came from Germany with all their possessions in the big box and their dishes in the smaller box. #heirloom #familyhistory

Sad to hear about Rickey Henderson today. Met him once at an autograph signing. My son had just fallen asleep. Asked if he’d take a picture with us anyway. Suddenly Bryce wakes up and Rickey says, “He woke up because he wanted to see Rickey”.
