Nothing like a family photo that didn't quite turn out We send Christmas letters every year, generally including a family photo. Or, more likely, a picture of our beautiful children. Whom the people we send photos to have possibly never met, and really don’t appreciate as much as we do… but hey, it beats trying to [...] During devotions, Michael asked Judah if he knew what cruel meant. Judah said, “Yeah, liked it’d be nice if it cooled down.” “No, not ‘cool:’ cruel.” After which followed several attempts on the boys’ part to imitate their dad in saying “cruel.” Finally, Michael asked again if they knew what “cruel” meant and Judah replied, “No, I don’t know [...] After an injury to a rather sensitive part of one of my boys’ anatomies, I took him to see his doctor. $10. They looked at the wound, thought it looked odd, referred me to the Urologist. I was hoping they’d wait a while to call to schedule an appointment, but no, they got us in today, [...] After Monica flipped the switch on the surge protector, turning off my computer and all of the routers, cable boxes, etc. underneath my computer desk – again – I pulled her out from there and expressed my displeasure. She looked up, waved her finger at me and said, “Mo, Mo!” (no, no) Really it was [...] On Saturday morning Monica was playing with stuff on the bathroom counter, while I brushed out her hair, then put in an elastic head-band. Just after I got it on, she stopped what she was doing, looked up at me, smiled, and said, “preddy.” (apparently, this is what I generally say after I fix her hair – [...] Pea-gravel is such fun Ezra, in the playstructure where he and Judah spent LOTS of time. Judah had fun at the beach across the road Shoulder Ride. Monica lived in that blue sweatshirt! We went on a train-ride in a partially covered car. Covered on top, but open on the sides. The weather was… not [...] I went and walked around a neighborhood that was having a garage sale day today. I almost bought an ice-cream maker, a weed-and-feed spreader, and some Christmas tins. I actually bought Monica a top and shorts (2T) for $1. Does the money I didn’t spend ($13.75) count in my favor in [...] Internet recipes are a gamble. Sometimes they’re really great. Sometimes they appear to have been added by someone who… well, doesn’t cook. I thought I’d do a blog “series” on internet recipes that I’ve tried that we really like. It’ll be a short series. Not because there’s not a lot of great ones out there, but because [...] Ezra: I’m going to go to Rosanne’s wedding. [...] I just got Peter Reinhart’s Whole Grain Breads out of the library last week. Being a slight “bread head” myself, I have been studiously reading through the introductory chapters which explain Reinhart’s bread journey and the successes and failures and discoveries he’s made along the way.
