Hey, ya’ll! I’m still alive; I just haven’t been on the computer much. The last time I posted was February and after that we went to California for 2 months, discovered our financial needs were too great to continue on in missions, celebrated 3 birthdays (Taylor turned 5, Emma turned 3, I turned 31, and [...]

Washing Dishes
Posted in Just Me on September 22, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I thought I would really, really dislike not having a dishwasher, but I’ve found washing dishes by hand to be not so bad after all. It gets the dishes done faster than a dishwasher can and I’m not left with a whole dishwasher to empty (one of my least favorite household chores). Big parties scare [...]
The New Cut and My Cuties
Posted in Family Life, Just Me on September 20, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Here I am with the smallest of my cutie pies. If Emma knew I had called her a cutie pie, she would probably say, “I’m not a cootie pie. I’m Emmmmmma.”
Gone

I finally grew my hair long enough to donate it to the making of a wig for a cancer patient. Now it’s gone… It made me think of Anne (of Green Gables) when she died her hair green and had to cut it off. I also thought of Jo in “Little Women” when she sold [...]
Unexpected Luxuries
Posted in Just Me on September 3, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I lost a bit of sleep last night, with one child waking from a bad dream and another waking up unusually early, but was rescued from exhaustion by my dear husband, who took the older girls on some of his errands this morning. This unexpected gain of “free time” meant a few luxuries added to [...]
29 and Counting
Posted in Just Me on February 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
In all honesty, the girls and I had a dreadful day today. It only got better when we were putting them to bed and we finally seemed to connect with cheerful hearts and tenderness towards one another. The difficulties from the time we awoke were: rain, wind, and cold weather that kept us indoors most [...]
Where Have I Been?
Posted in Just Me on July 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve neglected my blog for so long that I don’t know where to begin. During my absence from the world of blogging, quite a number of things have happened…both cars have konked out on us, necessitating calls to AAA; both girls have had a virus; I’ve spent many hours laying in bed with morning (more [...]
I’ll Be Back Soon!

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting for a while. We’re still having computer problems, which also means it’s been tough to use pictures. However, I will be getting my very own (used) laptop in about 10 days, which will give me more opportunities to work on my blog, e-mail, and listen to sermon and radio [...]
My Farewell to Chocolate
Posted in Just Me on July 11, 2007 | 5 Comments »
We found that Emma’s tummy problems this week were my fault in eating too much chocolate. Bummer! Once I cut out my daily chocolate treat, she got so much better – no more crying during the evenings where B-House and I play tag-team in holding her until late at night. Whew! Unfortunately, I will have [...]
One of Those Weeks…
Posted in Just Me on July 6, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Things seemed to have gone downhill this week as the days flew (or sometimes dragged) by. I thought I could summarize the week here and remind myself that there are always good things that come along with the bad… Yucky Things This Week: 1. Taylor “pushing our buttons” or “cruising for a bruising,” as my [...]
