Jacqueline: “I …

Jacqueline: “I want to go to the store and get some Mini Oreo’s.” Theodore: “Well, I want Mickey Oreo’s.” Jacqueline: “Once upon a time, I want to go to the store and get Mini Oreo’s,… 

Twin quotes

After choosing the coolest day of the last five to actually venture in to the kiddie pool on our deck, the twins were soaked, and cold. Upon getting out of the pool after they were… 

Wildlife moment

I didn’t get any of this on camera as my camera was outside in my vehicle, but we had a wildlife moment out back this morning. It started with my son spotting an animal at… 

Twin Navigation

Yesterday my son had a doctor’s appointment before school and my wife drove him there before work. Shortly after they left I received a message that she had left her laptop and computer bag at… 

Father’s Day

It’s Father’s Day again and I thankful for my Dad. I have spent even more time with him this past year, and I so grateful for that time together. Happy Father’s Day Dad!

The Revolution

Living in a way-too-busy world that revolves around the revolution of that world. Here’s a thought, or two. There’s a world out there I think, but I can’t see it If I can’t get these… 

Six Words You Should Say Today

One day I hope to write my own piece on this topic, or at least something close to it, but that wouldn’t be to take anything away from this wonderful piece. Rachel nailed it. This… 

Dirt Road, Dirt Dawg

After Theodore and I attended the Wachusett Dirt Dawgs’ home opener last week in Leominster, Mass. Theodore has some of his own memories.  We went to see his big brother Ryan play and to take… 

Swimming snake

We took the kids up to Elm Brook Park on Sunday afternoon for a visit to the beach and playground area. Upon getting to the beach on Hopkinton Lake, this spot is known as Elm… 

Rodent visit

This not-so-small rodent paid us a couple of visits recently. We never know what might wander into our yard on any given day.

Bruins Warrior

I have written on this subject before and it means a great deal to me personally, it is team. This blog I wrote (The Team) a while back probably doesn’t do it justice, but last… 

Playing like nobody is watching

I love when the twins just get caught up in the things that they are doing. Theodore grabbed the wizard hat for no reason other than to wear it while he played. Jacqueline donned her… 

Theodore’s buzz cut

Theodore woke up yesterday wanting a haircut. When asked if he wanted “daddy’s hair” he said he did. So out came the clippers. After checking with him a couple of times during the process, he… 

Bruins – Pens: Eastern Conference Final

So, based on some conversations I’ve had recently, along with some e-mails, Facebook messages, and FB comments shared with me, I thought I would share my perspective. This might answer to the commentary shared with… 

Why I’m 1inawesomewonder

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.… 

Find Our Way

Tuesday morning, May 21, 2013, I was in New Brunswick, Canada to say good-bye to my Aunt Janette one last time. Since I was staying within 20 miles of the old homestead, I took a… 

Family Support

After getting through emotionally packed calling hours, a tearfully blessed funeral service, and more than 800 miles on the road in just 38 hours, I woke up a little bit mentally fatigued today. I’m so… 

My Aunt Janette

It’s a bright, beautiful Saturday morning, but suddenly time has lost its grip on the day. I sat down and wrote most of this over the last two weeks, in the present tense, about my Aunt Janette, a remembrance and tribute to her. Last night, just before 9pm (Eastern) God called her home. My Mom called to give me the news that I had been waiting to hear but hoped I would never actually receive. We talked for a moment or two and then I prayed. I prayed for Lloyd and Janette’s family, all of them, in every direction. I prayed and I prayed. I prayed for me and for my family too. So that we can be and will be the strength, support, love, voice, or shoulder to lean on for any who might need it. This certainly includes me too. I prayed for all of us, any of us related to the Peterson family one way or another.

The Office, to me

I just watched the last 3 episodes of the American TV Show, The Office. And this may be a little odd, but I find myself in a bit of a funk. I feel like a… 

Bruins Win! Bruins Win!

Maybe I was 12 years old, standing on a small sheet of ice, not much bigger than a couple of puddles strung together. I had boots on my feet because I didn’t own skates, but many days I skated like the wind. Nearby was a completely home-made hockey net. It wasn’t the right size, or even symmetrical. To me though, it was perfect, and the crease was the place where you entered the Hall of Fame. I had an old Sher-Wood hockey stick and a battered puck. If I didn’t have a puck, or had lost one, I used a frozen tennis ball.

Little river trip

Yesterday the twins and I took a little ride to one of our neighboring towns, New Boston, NH. We enjoy the river and the kid-friendly trail which is partly made up of the original bed… 

My very beautiful flashlight

I was sitting in the office when I heard Theodore running down the hall saying, “Sister! Sister! Let’s go upstairs.” I looked over to see him race by me holding a small, toy cupcake. Jacqueline… 

Jacqueline and her dress

Today Jacqueline wanted to wear her new dress. Not just any dress, but a dress made by her Grammy. So, here she is, in her birthday dress, and she is happy to show it off.

Clear

It’s a beautiful day! The air is crisp and clean. Seeking a shaded tree on which I wish to lean.   Wishing I was in the woods north, not near. Right beside a babbling brook… 

The Twins Turn 3 (take two)

Some folks had difficulty accessing the pictures on  the Sky Drive so I have re-posted in this format. Hopefully this works better. Thanks for your patience. We hadn’t really celebrated with birthday parties for the… 

The Twins Turn 3

We hadn’t really celebrated with birthday parties for the twins in either of their first two years so we decided (last-minute) to celebrate this year. It was a two-day celebration and the twins were quite excited to… 

Made me smile

This morning, as I usually do, I sat at the computer for a few minutes to check email, the newspaper, weather, etc. My daughter, Jacqueline, who will be three years old on Saturday, walked in… 

Proud to be an American

Sing the Anthem! Sing it to yourself. Sing it together. Sing it to your kids. Our National Anthem is on my mind. It often is. I can always count on Chicago to take The Star…
