5th Grade! Clearly He’s Thrilled…

becky | September 1, 2010

Wordless Wednesday Speaking of back to school, if you want to laugh until you are rendered useless, check out my friend Ann’s spot on memory of the first day of school circa 1986. “You might wear your brand new jeans and turtleneck and wool sweater from the Menswear when it is fall but it is [...]

Letting Go, Just a Bit

becky | August 9, 2010

Like last year, on Sunday morning Ben went along with my parents for their annual trip to Washington Island. Like last year we both cried a little when he left.  Even though there is someone else in the mix, my kid and are still very close; like sticky gooey tape on paper. Unlike last year [...]

A couple of my recent Wordless Wednesday’s have been pictures from the engagement shoot my dear friend Lori did of Matt, Ben and I.  It was a good beginning for when we are rich and famous and have to deal with the paparazzi. I have known Lori for over 25 years.  (No need to start [...]

Ten

becky | May 24, 2010

Dear Ben, Today you turn ten. Dude! Double digits! So tight yo. OK, OK I’ll stop. I’m making myself sick not to mention the shade of red you must be turning. This past year was a great one, for both of us. You continued to excel in school, sports and in height. Seriously, stop growing! [...]

A Decade in the Making

becky | May 21, 2010

On Monday this face turns ten. I’m all about the birthdays. Especially for my kid and ESPECIALLY when he turns TEN!  Therefore this weekend has been deemed BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!  Beginning Saturday and going straight through to Monday. Hey, you only turn double digits once in your life! So if you need me I’ll be single-handedly increasing [...]
