In my relatively young life I’ve seen and lived through some difficult stuff. I’m overwhelmingly blessed to live a good life and to have been loved by some of the most amazing people. When the poop hits the proverbial fan I have always known at each stage of my life who I’d call, who’d show … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine day #327: A little Prayer: Monday, February 15, 2021:

Another Valentine’s Day has come and gone. The kids had a fun day being treated by Gaga and mom and dad. Lots of goodies...too many for my tastes but what can you do? My favorite new tradition is the heart writing we’ve been doing. One heart from mom or dad everyday and they have to … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #326: Valentines Day Shenanigans: Sunday, February 14, 2021:

9 years ago today at 6:24 pm Fiona Bell Dorsey came screaming into the world. It was one of the happiest days of our entire life. I can still remember vividly the day we found out we were pregnant with this little lady. After we had the triplets we were told we'd never again have … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #325: Fiona Bell Dorsey: February 13, 2021:

I had to skip a day yesterday as I was feeling a bit under the weather. No corona over here...no worries. We are preparing for the coldest weekend maybe ever in Kansas?! I can't say I'm excited. The kids have a ton of basketball games tomorrow which will be nice to be indoors staying warm...but … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #323, 324: Valentine’s Day Celebrations: Thursday/Friday, February 11-12, 2021:

Kids never cease to amaze me. They are fearless in so many ways. I wish I was more like a child sometimes in that way. As adults we get to cautious and careful, it's a lot more fun being like a child. As you all know it's been unusually and brutally cold out this week. … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #322: Trying New Things: February 10, 2021:

I had a crappy day. Also, this... It's not ok outside. In my opinion when it's this cold we all should stay home by a fire. Going outside is a terrible idea. I despise the cold At any rate I was thinking today about how the little things all add up to be the big … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #321: The Little Things: Tuesday, February 9, 2021:

Today we were gifted with a snow day after a tough loss last night. I'm grateful for the snow day...it gave everyone a day to recover from a later than normal night (at least for this house) and the sad loss. I know I've said this before, but I love sports. They are fun to … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #320: Super Bowl Celebrations: Monday, February 8, 2021:

The Dorsey, Hall, Gile crew had a Super Bowl gathering tonight. My nephew Pete selected this for his Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa and it was a blast. The party was complete with delicious food, party bags and even sparkling cider with champagne flutes to celebrate (hopefully). Sadly, we didn't get to celebrate but … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #319: Super Bowl Sadness: Sunday, February 7, 2021:

I don't know about the rest of you....but I'm so glad the Super Bowl is tomorrow. This has felt like the longest week of the year. I'm pretty sure we actually lived a month this week. The kids have been asking all week how many more days until the Chiefs play. I can't imagine how … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #318: Chiefsmas Eve: Saturday, February 6, 2021:
