start here for context
I planned to write about each of the 10 types of victories that Doug Phillips mentions in his message, Victories: Moments Large and Small Which Define Christian Parenthood and the first is the nobility of the commonplace.

We’re back to drying the old-fashioned way this week. I have to admit that I like it. I know it’s crazy, but I love the motivation to get up and go outside for a few brief minutes of physical activity. I despise exercise, but I’m finding that I enjoy hanging laundry. The chore officially belongs [...]

Recent news that didn’t make the headlines:

Like when you forget to shake out your bath towel, and find daddy longlegs stuck to your damp bare skin. Then you try to peel them off and they leave their still-kicking legs behind.
Coffee is a much easier way to wake up in the morning, but dismembered bugs work faster.

A new pet!!
Today Becca (my 6yo sister) came inside and said
“Hey Lydia, do you want a new lizard ?”
I said “Yes! where is it?” and she said “Over here.”
She walked outside and over next to the stairs and then she pointed and said:
“There it is, in that box.” I looked in the box and a [...]

This is Blue.

We named him Blue (obviously) because he is blue.
He is a Holland lop rabbit, and he is still adjusting to his new home.
After I breed him I will post a [...]
