We’re on the road!

Maybe.  Almost.  Any minute now.  Did I mention that we’re sick?  Just a headache/fever kind of crud that seems to pass quickly, so we’re hoping everyone will be well by Friday.
Five of us have already had it so we’re halfway there.  Not halfway to Oklahoma City, but halfway to health, which is even better!
If you’re [...]

Can I go back to bed and start the day over?

This week is going to be another whirlwind.  Here’s what we have had planned:
Monday: Midwife appointment; get the house cleaned and laundry entirely caught up for tomorrow.
Tueday: Pack for upcoming homeschool conference in Oklahoma City.  We’ll be doing the Vision Forum booth!
Wendesday: Leave for OKC first thing in the morning.  Try to leave a clean [...]

Does this blog make me look fat?

Well, that’s not exactly what I wanted to ask, but now I have your attention, right?
I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1 and updated all my plugins, and now I’m really tired (Gee, could it be jet lag or the fact that it’s nearly 1 AM?).  I’m going to be brave foolish lazy and not spend [...]

Home again, home again, jiggety jig

Saying goodbye always makes me feel guilty when I’m the one leaving.  I hate to leave loved ones, but can’t help being excited about where I’m going next.
I have had a wonderful time with my grandparents and am so thankful that God made this visit possible, but I also can’t wait to get home to [...]

Just visiting

I’m still alive, though I think my brain is rusting from all the rain. We haven’t laid eyes on the sun since we’ve been here in Oregon and I probably have moss growing in my hair, but I keep telling myself we’ll look back fondly on this weather when August in [...]

Washington Bloggin’ mamas

I’m still recovering from nearly 8 hours on the road yesterday, but it was well worth it! It was my turn to visit MamaK on her own turf in beautiful snowy Washington state yesterday.  I also met the women behind Chris and Jenni,  Heath Happenings,  Cunningham Rules, and A Dollop of Sour Cream.  If I [...]

The gear: Cybershot

At the risk of sounding like a commercial, I want to share few notes so far on the free loot one of my new gifts from Sony:
Cybershot: I was completely prepared to fall in love with this little baby, but it hasn’t quite been love at first sight. I’d say we’re still in [...]

Life without Mom (day 5)

We’re off to the dentist this morning. I realized this morning I haven’t updated anyone but Kim (via phone) on our adventures here in the shoe.
I was going to dash off a funny squib about our little odyssey here but then I realized that this is the second day in a row we have to [...]

California FAQ

A lot of people have asked me the same questions about my trip to La Jolla, so I’m going to take the easy way out.
Q. What was the point of your trip to California? Why did Sony pick you?
A. The short answer is, I don’t know but I was glad to be included! [...]

Snow

Snow.  I’m in Portland at my grandparents’ home now and I woke up to snow.  It will be in the high 80’s in San Antonio all week, and I brought my high 80’s wardrobe, because every knows it never snows in late April, right?  Right?
So I did the only thing I could do: [...]

Interesting

I was busy procrastinating, but in light of the fact that I just spent 2 luxurious days in beautiful Southern California as result of blogging, I will now graciously accept the Interesting Blog award given to me by Handy Mom and by Hercules Mulligan.
I could be making up the parts about all the [...]

Puritan Family Renewal

We need a reformation of biblical family life, and there will be no reformation without setting the doctrinal foundation and having the courage for a radical turning. Come to the conference, “A Puritan Family Reformation.” This conference is designed to help us make progress in turning to a biblical vision for family life.
My [...]

We have cameras!

Sony did it. This morning, when we entered the verandah room (4th picture in the slide show) for our first formal meeting, the 14 of us saw 14 neat stacks of camera boxes.
Each of us is now the happy owner of a brand new Cybershot, Handycam, and Alpha DSLR. The day was [...]
