The boys received three new Nerf guns for Christmas and I think our arsenal is getting out of hand. This is only a portion of the weaponry, everything else is scattered in other rooms of the house but these are the “big guns” and usually stay in the playroom for concentrated battle practice. How many … Read more
The Sacred Sink
Fresh Start
The new decade is officially underway and so are my well intentioned but often short lived resolutions. I think the effort has merit though. Anytime you take inventory of your life, what your goals and priorities are and how to live them out it’s a good thing. When we first went on break I was … Read more
Doughnut Monday
Monday is here! It was nice to get back in the swing of things today. Aside from the weather we had a great time on the morning show. With the snowy weather and slick conditions Len brought up the topic of how fun he thinks it is to go into a vacant parking lot, make … Read more
Comfort Food!:)

Praise to the Giver of Life, Creator of Time
Happy New Year! I went for a run outside tonight and it was such a nice time to quietly reflect on the past year. Not only 2009 but the past 10 years since we are about to usher in a new decade! It’s especially sentimental because 10 years ago tonight I was on my first … Read more

Fun Finds!
Vacation is so much fun!:) This is the first time that I can remember that we’ve been on vacation but haven’t left town. It’s nice. We’ve had a good mix of relaxing (yay for sleep), cleaning and catching up on laundry, etc. and doing little fun things here and there. Oh, and the SALES! Oh … Read more

The Cone of Shame
Poor Clementine! She has to wear this after having her cherry eye surgery. In the movie “Up” it’s referred to as “the cone of shame”, something that was not lost on the boys! As soon as they saw her sporting it they remembered that instantly. I feel so bad though, she really DOES look ashamed! … Read more
How Many Kings
A new song that we’ve added to the Christmas playlist this year is called “How Many Kings” by Downhere. The lyrics are beautiful. Like this:“How many Gods have poured out their heartsTo romance a world that has torn all apart?How many fathers gave up their sons for me?Only one did that for me”.From beginning to … Read more
