This is the story...

This is a story about Maggie (me).  And Aaron (my husband)... and Sebastian (our son)... and Audrey (our daughter)... and any other people and animals who come into our lives.  We live in Oklahoma (for now), where the wind goes sweeping down the plains like God running a hairdryer and knocks you down so that the sun can fry you completely as you lie helplessly on the yellow grass.  But that's only if you go outside.  No one goes outside for very long here: we all just hang out inside with our kids and pets and sweat over the DIY projects we need to do outside.

The children just returned from a two week adventure with both sets of grandparents in Virginia where they were indulged by their grandparents, encouraged by their aunts and uncles, and mentored by their adventurous cousins.  They have returned as almost full-on Jedis, ready to train their rested parents.

This parenting stuff just got real.
