I took this picture of my neighbor’s lawn as I was coming home for lunch. Thankfully the snow didn’t stick beyond that little bit. Will Winter ever end? We’re only two months from the beginning of summer. I’d like to be able to put my winter clothes away pretty soon. When I went to Easter…
Last night, it started snowing AGAIN while I was getting gas. I love how the snow looks like shooting stars. When I got home, I snapped these pictures looking out onto the backyard. It’s difficult to see, but it was still snowing. I like how you can see the living/dining room superimposed on the image.…
So it’s been a crazy six weeks here in the Marks’ household. I picked up an upper respiratory infection from one of the babies at work right before Thanksgiving. I was sick for a solid week. I was supposed to run the Pigskin Classic 5K. That didn’t happen. I never got my Ohio State tee…
On October 23rd, I did my first 5K. I had planned to do one in July, but ended up doing the 1 mile fun “run” (or walk in my case) because I had hurt my knee. It was a miserable, chilly, drizzly day on the shore of Lake Erie, but that didn’t stop me and…

I decided to go to graduate school to pursue my doctorate in infant cognition and perceptions. Because of illness, I had to give up that dream, though not before publishing…
Here are a few kat stories I’ve seen in the last week that I found interesting.

I don’t have any excuses, other than it’s 2020. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed at work. I’m playing Paperwork Person, Zoom Scheduler, Blog Setter-Upper, Anecdotal Note Enterer, Phone Answerer and occasionally, Teacher. Needless to say, I’ve been exhausted. Regardless, I love the babies in my class and I have a lot of fun watching them…
