I seem to go in spurts with this blog...one week I do really well and then three weeks (okay a few months) later I realize that I miss writing or posting silly things here and I start up again. Well, here I am trying *again* at this blog.
Things are still where they were when we left off. Life, al…
This picture is from the beginning of August when it was so hot you couldn't do anything but sit in the pool.
Today the buses where running past our bedroom window at 7:30am. Not cool! So, very, not cool!
It was a very rude reminder that school starts on Wednesday. I have so much to do before then. I have to finish getting the boys school bags packed and ready. I have to find all the lunch bags, I have art…

I picked up some plums, peaches, blueberries, strawberries and figs at the Farmer's Market on Saturday so that I could make these beauties for the numerous birthday boys we had in our family over the 4th of July weekend (my 4 year old, my fath…
Lately it has felt as if God is out to punish me and my family. It seems as if nothing in our life is going well. In the past year and half...
While I am sure this post will cause me grief in the near future I am posting it anyway for those that don't know what to do for the Pastor and his family, particularly his wife. As you may or may not know, it is not easy being the wife of the pastor. There are few times (if any) that this position …
