This is a little late going up, but I should mention that Nick was able to attend the Microsoft Build 2017, May 10-12.  He has been wanting to go ever since he entered the workforce!  I was excited for him.  However, as the week of Build approached, I also found myself working to manage a […]

So much has happened this past month!  Since there is just A LOT, I will just dump as many pictures as I can here tonight and fill in details later (maybe, one day…).

Our last week has been packed full of quality time as a family!  Life with two kids seems to fly by a whole lot quicker than I ever remember it doing so before.  I realize it sounds cliche, but it “seems like just yesterday” that we were moving here!  This time of year is actually […]

This weekend has mostly been a “staycation” for the Sandridge family.  On Friday, Colin’s main teacher, Mrs. A, met with us for the official “potty conference.”  Colin was ready.  Were we?  We decided to take the risk.  We cleared our weekend schedule for the big kickoff, and with deep breaths and a lot of courage, […]
