• Warning! Blog breaks coming.

    So, I know all three of you regular readers really need to know my blogging schedule, so I wanted you to be aware that I’m starting an on-line course today, and I’m anticipating it causing less than 100% involvement in several other areas of maintenance in my life. Blogging, showering, sleeping, cooking and general correspondence […]

  • Awards Night (and a retraction)

    Yes, that sounds like the dinner you’d have at Pietro’s Pizza at the end of your T-ball tournament, when the coach would give out certificates to every player from Most Improved to Best Encourager. But this awards night was the dinner for the hospital employees, where Trent received his Service Excellence award. The retraction is […]

  • Bread and Butter

    OK, after a few other posts, I’m back to the bread and butter of this blog: pics of my kiddo. There is a neat place in town that is basically a big indoor playground. It has a bounce house, big sandbox, lots of riding toys, dress-up clothes, a play structure and more. You have to […]

  • Sub Surprise

    My current part-time job is as a substitute teacher. The bad parts about this job are that sometimes I get really early morning calls (yes, 5:30 am is when they start), sometimes I don’t know where I’m going until I need to be out the door, often kids are rude, rowdy or worse, teachers leave […]

  • How great…indeed.

    I totally had a “moment” at church today. For those of you who know me well, you know that it extremely normal and common for me to get choked up or full-on cry during worship. Something about corporate worship, or singing praise songs with a bunch of other people if you aren’t as familiar with […]

  • Suggestions?

    OK, all you readers, regular or occasional lookie-loos, I need your help. Pretty soon we will start really diving in to our third bedroom to transform it into an actual bedroom for the coming kiddo. We’ve done zero decorating in this room, but loved having a separate room for the computer in our little house. […]

  • What’s in a name?

    This video is not that exciting, but I was attempting to interview Carson from the bathroom floor, because he was just talking up a storm as I was fixing my hair. Of course, as soon as the camera turns on, he starts acting differently, but this is kind of amusing. Especially when I asked him […]
