Now that our school’s big dinner dance and auction is over, I am finding myself with a little bit of free time on my hands.  So, I thought I’d catch you up on the goings-on around here. Last weekend, Dan took Maria, Luke and Jack to Feed My Starving Children for a service project with [...]

Wow.  It has been a long time since my last post!  This morning, at 3:58 a.m. the baby for whom we had the shower made her arrival! I guess I don’t have too many excuses for not posting, except that every time I sit down at the computer to write, I end up reading instead.  [...]

While the baby cried, the dog begged, the children yelled and the TV blared, I prepared a new meal tonight.  Inspired by something I saw on Pinterest (my latest time-sucking obsession), I made this: Pretty cool! Yum?  Maybe. It was fun to try, but I doubt I’ll go through the trouble again.  Maria pulled hers [...]
