We took the boys to a matinee showing of this today since they were off of school due to a Superintendents conference. I must say that this was such a good movie! I would expect nothing less from a movie based on a Dr. Seuss book. It was a really good, laugh-out-loud family movie. Jim [...]

I don’t think I’ve mentioned on here that we’ve been “church shopping.” Today was the second church that we’ve visited since we moved here. The last 2 Sundays somebody has been sick, so we’ve stayed home. This whole search is a lot harder than I anticipated. I guess part of me thought that I’d walk [...]
