Hallie takes more pictures.  Great job, kid. Seriously.


The car after our trip to Kansas City.  Cleaning it out was the last thing on our minds as we drove into the garage.


Hanna went to the doctor today. She had been anemic. She's better now.


Hallie went to the doctor later that same day. She'd been experiencing a high level of intense gastrointestinal distress that I could no longer live with.  (what I'm trying to say is we were all tired of her being constipated.)


I cut off large chunks of my hair in a fit of winter madness on Wednesday.
We had a brush of nice weather, but it left me confused. Too warm for my boots, still too cold for sandals.  I was too tired to sort it out, so I went deep into my closet and pulled out my old indoor soccer shoes. I've been saving them for years, why not wear them every now and then?







 And Devin's book was published.  Well, the book he wrote a chapter for.  You can buy it here at Amazon.com  It's selling for $199 but you can get it for $165 new and $291.68 used.  That's not a typo.  Or if it is, it's not mine. That's what it says on Amazon.  His chapter is called "Overview of Dietary Fiber and Its Influence on Gastrointestinal Health".  It's a truly compelling read, I'm sure.

    Ok I had to chuckle when I read the title of Devins chapter due to the fact that Hallie is in distress over yhat very subject, and that you used the word gastrointestinal twice in one post! we still need a haircut picture!

    I am very impressed by Devin's book! I wish I could buy it just so I could have it to pull out during the frequent occasions when I brag about him. (It really is frequent. I think all of my friends know I have a brother-in-law who is a food scientist.)

    And Hallie is gorgeous as always.

    I'm glad Hanna isn't anemic anymore. Poor girl!!

    And Jill is also recently obsessed with taking pictures. Sigh.

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
