Two really good reasons...

I have two really good reasons to make my humble attempt back into the blogging world.
Reason#1:
My sweet daughter competed at the National Rope Skipping Competition in Moncton, NB and brought home a gold and silver medal, along with a handful of various ribbons. I am very proud of her, needless to say.

Reason #2:
My sweet 14 year old son gave me a hug today...on the sidewalk!...out in the open!!...in front of his school!!...with his friends around!!!! Put on a smile on my face that I couldn't wipe off.  I am also very proud of him, needless to say.
