Yelling.
There has been more then the usual share of it around here this past week. Not what we really wanted for our Christmas… but what are you gonna do when a kid picks a fight and knows just how to get the grownups to react. Personally, I’m a yeller. It’s not [...]

X marks the spot!
Kater loves Peter Pan. I’m not talking about a passing “oh yea, that was a fun Disney movie” – I’m talking the child is enthralled with the boy! She has a copy of the complete book that she reads in bed every night… and I just found the unabridged story on CD [...]

Winter.
Oh how I miss it! I look at blogs like this one and this one and find myself near tears with longing for snow. At no time during the year do I miss the North like in the winter.
While all my friends and neighbors are complaining about needing their coats, I’m bemoaning the [...]

Vegas?
I don’t know… never been there, don’t really even think about it much – but I can’t seem to come up with anything better tonight!
So instead I’ll tell you what I did last night…
Last Christmas jme gave me this gift certificate for a massage.
Just for the record, a gift certificate for something that is “intangible” [...]

Ugh.
I have a ‘not-quite-cold’
You know, that thing where you have a weird catch in your throat, slight sniffles, minor body aches… but not enough to feel justified in curling up on the sofa and letting everything go.
I wish it would either hit me or go away.

Traditions.
It’s a season of them… we’ve been busy the past week or so decking the halls and dedicating our house and hearts to the holidays.
Jme and I light the advent candles at church on the first Sunday…
Then we had a Chanukah dinner & fun with friends on the first night.
We went to the mall Saturday [...]

Simplify.
That’s what we’re doing around here. And it feels good. It’s very Franciscan of us.
It doesn’t quite look like we’re simplifying – but we’re well into the process. I’m getting rid of things left and right… I’ve even committed to getting rid of any Christmas decorations we do not use this year – and I [...]
Red.
It’s my favorite color… but you probably have figured that out by now.
It’s also for Rory, who went to the ER tonight for her asthma again… bio-mom decided that taking the maintenance meds for asthma wasn’t really all that important – and when Rory got a cold this week it hit hard and since her [...]

Quality.
A couple of months ago our friends Kim & Kenny had their house broken into and trashed. We helped clean up, and as a ‘thank you’ (like we needed it, we love ‘em!) Kenny did a family photo shoot. And if you want quality pictures he’s the man! I really don’t know [...]
