Completely Flameless

I bought this candle at Target last week. The battery-powered LED lights inside are supposed to provide 180 hours of light. I think it's a pretty realistic looking candle. It's even made of wax and has a fragrance! (OK-I realize this is not that exciting. What can I say, I didn't take a photo until 7:30 pm! Do you like the holiday box of tissues?)

Stormy Kromer

Ironwood, Michigan. Home of the Stormy Kromer wool cap. We travel through here when heading to the cabin. This time, it's for Thanksgiving!

Sous Chef

Mason is a big help in the kitchen, getting all my prep-work done for me. Here, he's helping to chop up the gingersnap cookies for my cheesecake crust.

Late-Night Composing

Calvin is writing the music for a play his Latin class is doing. His classmates will perform his work during the show. This is just the start, but he's writing for violin, viola, guitar, contrabass, timpani and snare drum. I'm not sure he realizes this is an unusual undertaking for an 8th grader. Proud mama here.
