Three weeks with my parents: another unexpected gift of 2020

January 10, 2021 by Aprille Leave a Comment

My parents taught me a lot about the sacrificial, unconditional love that parents have for their children, no matter how those children are!

Illinois Trip ~ Day 1

August 30, 2012 by Aprille 3 Comments

Our little family is taking a little end-of-summer, recovering-from-the-Army’s-summer-demands vacation. We have a lot of amazing things planned and hopefully will all return a bit refreshed! But, it’s been a bumpy start. I’ve been having a rough time of it with my last two doses of allergy shots (administered last Friday and this monday). Lots … [Read more…]
