Pocket Notes

I am posting my backlog of pocket notes. Sometimes details are sparse. 9/3 - Referring to two years ago, Jeremiah said, "The other day of the oott-her day (stretched out, and louder) we tipped over in the big boat." He wanted to know if the motor boat was going to tip over or not. So he... (More)

Taking an Interest

Or: How This Mom Started Playing Minecraft They say that a good way to show love is to take an interset in what the other person is interested in, even if you wouldn't care about it on your own. I'm a busy mom and wife of an entrepreneur, right? I don't have time for video games.... (More)

A Compassionate Heart

On the evening of March 4th, we were on our way to the church to get our portraits taken for the upcoming new photo directory. It was a bit chilly outside, but I didn't put my hood on because I didn't want to have to fix my hair when we got there. Jeremiah had just woken up from a nap so I... (More)

Nathaniel Is Born!

Once again, we were blessed to have Grandma and Dad-o with us for a birth. Jeremiah was still too clingy on Mommy for us to be comfortable having him at the birth. He did well completely away from me, but had trouble when nearby and I was unavailable. That is exactly the situation a... (More)

Pocket Notes

11/8 - It was gusty and the maple seeds were being blown off our big tree by the thousands. It was such an amazing sight! The little helicopters were fluttering everywhere, even swarming like a host of grasshoppers or little birds. The grand picture was the swarming, and then... (More)

Pocket Notes

I'll take this opportunity, home from church with two sick kids, to post my notes. 10/19 - JDD, "Most fun things are spoiled if you HAVE to do them." I forget the context of his quote but it reminded me of my thought at the harvest supper. The middle and high school youth groups... (More)
