Family
Heartfelt updates about family milestones and everyday moments. From taking Mazie to college and annual visits to the Renaissance Festival to Swedish‑pancake breakfasts and VR outings with the kids, this category celebrates togetherness.
Email from Mazie
I’m starting to introduce Mazie to email. I also showed her how to use emoji characters. One of her first emails to me celebrating her favorite emoji!

Playing Can’t Stop with Mazie and Tammy.
Tyler is really into Puff, the Magic Dragon. Still a great song.
Z-Scale model train awesomeness with Tyler.
Twelve four-year olds at our house for Tyler’s birthday party. Good this is only 90 minutes!
Awesome 8 year old question, Mazie: “Was J Jill related to J Crew?”
Just reset a Furby Boom from a gross, farty “boy” to a new girl and got “joy to the world!” from Mazie’s friend. 😀
Kids Running for Kid's World Marathon Challenge
Our neighbor Nicole organized the Kids Running for Kid’s team to raise money for the Save the Children World Marathon Challenge. Mazie and Tyler joined 50 other kids running segments of a marathon around the block and raised $1,526 for a great cause.


Not too cold for Minnesota United FC soccer tonight! ⚽️
Mazie and her friend at the final Minnesota United FC soccer game of the season.
Minnesota United FC scores again! 3 - 1
Wonder how many soccer matches are played at 42 °F.
Mazie's First Hockey Game
Mazie and I went to the Minnesota Wild game last night along with Alone and Dylan. It was Mazie’s first hockey game and although she thought it was too loud at times she had a great time. Of course chocolate ice cream helps! And we got these weird looking hats.
