Since I am traveling and am on super fast internet, I thought I’d upload a bunch of pictures from a recent harvest party. Me and Indigo: Brett and Emery and friends on a hayride: Fletcher with a gun (aren’t guns essential hayride equipment?) on the hayride: Jim, Hewitt, and Me on another hayride (do you […]
I need to brag on Brett a little bit. She made homemade chicken pot pies for dinner. She made and rolled out the crust without any supervision. She also laid out the crusts and crimped them. I meant to get a photo of them before we started eating. But, what can I say? We were […]
I’m getting old. There is just no denying it. My age is manifesting itself in many ways, not the least of which is my weight. In the past, my “baby weight” has disappeared before each baby was 6 months old, without much extra effort on my part. But not so after Jade‘s birth. She’s 14 […]
Grandma came for a visit in July. Here she is with the girls. Grandma slept in the “big, big bed” with Indigo. When Grandma went home, Indigo cried because she wanted to sleep with Grandma.

A large group of friends were arriving on Sunday at 6:00 to sing Christmas Carols with us. We had the house clean (well, as clean as we can get it ). We had food ready. We had children bathed. It was 5:55 and all we had left to do was get the hot chocolate going […]
Have you ever noticed that moms and dads respond to the same situations very differently? I know this, and yet, Jim still surprises me with how differently he handles some of the problems our family is always creating. I easily admit that many of his solutions are better than mine. But quite often, Jim will […]
