Bree was practicing the piano for her recital, so Cate sat down at the nearby drum set and started playing. Cate excitedly told me, “Mom, we might accidentally start a band!” #ThatsTheDream #ReimerFamilyBand

Cate’s Surgery
Cate had her surgery today. Everything went well, but she is having a lot of pain and said she could feel the “needles†in her arm. (They inserted two pins to stabilize the bone and joint.) They gave her some pain meds and so now she is feeling better and sleeping. We should get to […]
Broken Humerus
This is not how I expected to spend my first day back home. Cate has learned that a broken humerus is not very humorous. (Yes, you can groan over that terrible pun!) And that jumping off the top bunk of her bunk bed is probably not a good idea. She’s in a splint for now. […]
Evolving Faith Conference
I’m not sure if I’ve had more laughter or more tears today. But both have been very healing. The Montreat Conference Center in Montreat, NC, is beautiful. On the second evening, I joined a bunch of strangers at a pizza restaurant where we all shared stories. Such an encouragement after feeling alone on this journey […]
Science Project
Science Project Packed for trip and heading to the airport I wish you could see the popcorn Bree drew; it looks like it is popping off the board. (Adrianna’s idea to use thick foam tape.) And Bree drew a pony with a popcorn cutie mark that is eating popcorn.
Busy Week
So relieved to have Greg back in town! He has been in Seattle all week for work. Now we have roughly 9 hours together (most of which will be spent sleeping) before I leave on MY trip. And of course the 8yo’s science fair project is due the same morning I have to leave early […]
Cate’s Dance Class
Cate asked to take a dance class, so we signed her up for tap/ballet. 5 year olds doing dance is the cutest thing! At the end of class, the parents and siblings get to come in and see what the kids have worked on during the class. Cate was definitely embarrassed at first, but I […]
Conference Tickets
I have had the tickets for this conference for SIX WHOLE MONTHS and it is finally almost here! In less than a week, I will be traveling across the country *by myself* to hear some of my favorite authors, podcasters, and bloggers speak. I can hardly contain my excitement! EEK! To help explain my excitement […]
Mom, Can We Play Outside?
“Mom, can we play outside?” I can’t help but sigh inwardly at the question. Denver received the first snow of the season last night so playing outside now means bundling up with socks, boots, snow pants, coats, hats, gloves. It sounds like a hassle, an extra chore. And as much as they try to do […]
Neighborhood S’mores
Our neighborhood had a s’mores night. It was a nice time to meet some of our neighbors, as well as greet those we met at this summer’s food truck event. I am thankful that the forecasted wind waited until the end of the evening! And it is supposed to start snowing in the next couple […]
