Not long enough… (July 3, 2008)
We’re packing to depart DC. It just isn’t long enough. No time anywhere is ever long enough. Please choose to live in the moment…wherever you are! Must away to pack.

Negro Mountain (July 2, 2008)
Made it to DC safely, praise God! This was after a unexpected detour through West Virginia, some sort of eclipse, and rain on the mountains. There was a moment when we couldn’t see the lines on the road on the left and to the right we knew there was a steep drop. The kids were…

Stephanie’s Top 10 Thus Far (July 2, 2008)
10. Playing silly road trip scavenger hunt games. 9. People watching. 8. Watching my children realize how big the world really is and seeing their hearts grow. 7. Giving and receiving hugs with friends we haven’t seen in months or years. Friends are truly a treasure and make this trip so valuable. 6. The fear-turned-fascination…

Nilah and Me (June 30, 2008)
So thrilled that the boys got to see their former BP neighbors, but quite honestly, this stop was all about ME ME ME!!! Henry napped (actually, he’s still napping on the sofa as I blog this). The kids played outside after eating buckets of chicken. And the rest of the visit was catching up with…Nilah…

24 Hours of Fun!! (June 29, 2008)
A few years back — I think it was after we’d had our third son, S — my father, sister, and bro-i-l drove up to meet the new baby. Due to work schedules, they couldn’t leave before Friday close-of-business. The same strong work ethic required they be home for start-of-business on Monday. But it’s an…

Yard Work Complete (June 27, 2008)
We weren’t planning to do the yardwork this morning, but the threat of rain forced the schedule. The garden is looking robust and Stephanie harvested a few radishes to snack on. The toys are put away, yard cleaned up, and I’m wondering why I didn’t work harder to do this a few days ago. Oh…

Spacebags (June 26, 2008)
The boys had a blast making spacebags today! J did a beautiful job scrubbing out the car topper, a blessing that we received after comparison shopping. We pulled out of our driveway and two houses down the neighbors had one marked “FREE” just sitting there! God is so good and so faithful to answer our…

Prepping to go… (June 25, 2008)
Some believe that post-vacation is the hardest time because you realize how tired you are and you need another vacation. I disagree. If executed properly, the preparation stage is the most stressful part of the vacation. Planning and packing is a major task. It should be completed 36 to 48 hours before the departure. That…

Yeast Toast (November 20, 2007)
We’re having a yeast-roll-making fest here this week. That’s our core responsibility for the Thanksgiving festivities. And I love yeast rolls. And I’m good at making them. Got a new recipe, too. Hmm…yummy! The first batch of 30, which was probably enough to take to dinner, is gone. Made those yesterday. This morning I prepped…

Come On In! (November 18, 2007)
Come on in…the water’s fine! This is my new website and blog, and eventually a store. That will take some time. I want to have my “brain” in one place, though. Feeling a little too scattered, you know? It’s time to spend time with my littles…one is watercolor painting right now. Two are sleeping. The…

I Love My Job! (September 28, 2007)
It’s Friday. While the laundry is not done, we did have a laundry-fest day, making serious headway on the folding and ironing. The boys folded and I ironed. All the while we watched our library DVD selection: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Typical to the make-up of my children, one viewing isn’t enough. So…

God in the details… (September 5, 2007)
He really is in EVERY detail. We’ve just returned from Family Camp, a venture that I pressed hard to have for our family, and one that I think I resisted gaining the most from. I wonder about myself sometimes. I want so much, but am too lazy to do the work to get it. I…
