ohmygoodness. Christmas is one week away!! Yesterday I completed all the Christmas worship orders on my ToDo list – Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Lessons and Carols…and they’re printed. On Tuesday, the kids and I finished up most of our Christmas shopping. Wednesday evening I made good progress with the children’s choirs and we *should* be [...]

Summertime!
As promised, here are some pictures of our summer fun! Benjamin is watching “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” as I upload them this morning. We ate some coffeecake for breakfast, and we’ll be heading to the library for storytime later this morning. I’m looking forward to an easy afternoon … hopefully to get some rehearsal plans [...]

An Afternoon of Rest
Today, I left work after my late-morning meeting. I was feeling out of sorts, and I took it as a sign that I need to rest. So I am. I brought all my work home with me (as I do most days after working in the office), but I haven’t opened my bag. I changed [...]

The last month…in pictures
And what would a blog entry be without some funny stories? Tonight, Benjamin was munching on a couple baby carrots for supper. I told him that carrots help your eyes grow strong. So without hesitation, Benjamin sticks the carrot in his [...]

‘Member, Mom? ‘Member?
Long time, no bloggy. Sorry! I think about it almost every night…and just can’t find the energy. It’s mostly because I want to load some pictures & my camera cord is never in the same room (or on the same floor) as the laptop. So another blog without pictures…but I PROMISE that [...]

A Wii bit of Christmas fun!

Santa Claus is coming to town
‘Tis the season for humidifiers. All three of us have been achey and cold-y, so I knew it was time to search for the humidifier. I actually knew where Benjamin’s humidifier was (among the moving boxes). Yes!! But alas, when I filled it and plugged it in: no cool mist. The lights and motor were [...]

Lawn mower: not intended for lawn use
I can see Buck Hill Ski Resort from my bedroom window. As I walked into my room tonight to watch the news and eat Skittles and blog, I stood at the window for a bit to take in the view. It’s wonderful. The resort has been making snow the last few days, and it’s almost [...]

There couldn’t have been a better day.
We started with breakfast at Cracker Barrel. (It was more like brunch since we took our time getting ready this morning.) Let’s just say I’m convinced the CB omelette is one of the best in the world. Wooooooo, was it good. Plus I had so much food on my plate that I got to [...]

A Lazy Sunday
After a weekend of travel for Benjamin and Mom, and a day at camp & a lock-in for Dad, we spent the Sunday at home. Well, I had to be at church in the morning for the Sunday School music sessions & to play horn with the brass ensemble; but I came home early to [...]
