We were hoping to take a family ski trip this year, and thanks to some Christmas money (thanks, Gramma Matchett! An hour later, Tyler picked up Colin and Grace uneventfully, and I went in search of Nathaniel. We had seen him working station B while we rode the lift, so I started there. Nope. Station C? Colin and Grace were good sport...

Life with the Mendenhalls. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Happy first day of 1st grade and 3rd grade, kids! I came into the kids' bathroom today as Nathaniel finished brushing his teeth. N: "Mom, are there 180 days of school every year? N: "I don't want to go to school for 180 days. That's too many.". Me: "How many days would you like to go? N: "How about 70 days? Then how many times would I go to gym? My outdoor-loving, hard-playing boy seemed happy enough with that. Labels: days of school. Go with the flow?

Life with the Mendenhalls. Saturday, March 29, 2014. Sweet and sunny six. I started this post two weeks ago, and the next day my Oma went to be with Jesus. We are so happy for her and had a wonderful celebration of her life last weekend in Pennsylvania. Nathaniel started his birthday with breakfast pancakes in his favorite MarioKart jammies. We let him open one present: a putter and golf bag, in case he wanted to take them on his birthday adventure. At Build-a-Bear (Grace's party and present! Grace reque...

Life with the Mendenhalls. Saturday, September 20, 2014. The morning of our 14th Hope Ride dawned.well, it didn't dawn until well after we left home with the tandem strapped securely to the top of our van. At our first SAG stop, Michael introduced himself (this is the kind of thing that happen on the Hope Ride) because he had the jersey that matched mine. We crossed paths a few more times during the ride. But my favorite picture partner is definitely the captain of our tandem. :). Tyler works as a softwa...

Life with the Mendenhalls. Friday, October 31, 2014. As temperatures plummeted today, we pulled out the winter gear.in time for Halloween. (! Elsa donned her snowboots and hat, and Darth Vader and Spiderman wore their warmest socks. My mom and I sported matching shirts. We joined friends and friends-of-friends to trick-or-treat in the Blombergs' neighborhood. Someone asked if we had all come on a bus. I guess a pack of 15 can make you wonder. But the cold never bothered them anyway. Oh, I remember! Becau...
