Year: 2006

It feels like we’re in a desert land right now. It’s dry, and hot. We’re tired, and as far as we can see all around us, it’s only sand. No one else around, and that’s the problem. Oh, there are plenty of people. We have great friends. They are quick to help with things we…

I had an interesting moment last night (that would be Friday night) as I left our boys’ room after a hasty “Good Night.” We had spent another evening on many activities we enjoy doing together, and at that point, I was tired and needed to leave. We always talk with God together before Mom or…

Check out Julia’s first video! It’s just over 10 minutes long, so it’s pretty hefty. If you’re still on dial up, I don’t recommend trying it! 🙂 Stream Video | Download Video (iPod ready) (To download, Option-Click on the Download Video link, or Control-Click to bring up a menu of options, then Save As… to…

Wow. I’m usually much better at this. Well… it’s 2:30 in the moring, and here are the photos I have been wanting to post: Julia in her hat from Dr. Landgraf. (Yes, our doctor made Julia a hat!!!) 🙂(Click to enlarge) Babies are always so tired! Julia is no exception. 🙂 Julia has a cool,…

I forget if I have mentioned this here, but, remember the new book I have been working on? It’s now two. I decided (based on advice from a few folks) that two would be better than one. One was going to be about 350 pages! So, we made it two. The first one is on…

Speaking of madness… Perhaps my life at the moment could be described as madness. Although, I must admit, just the fact that I am sitting here blogging is a good sign that there has been a slight reprieve in the constant happenings. It all started … well, it all started quite some time ago, but…

It’s about to begin. At 12:20pm EST, the madness will commence. 65 teams (what happened to 64?) will duke it out, in a manner of speaking, for NCAA hoops supremacy. It’s actually one of the greatest sports moments of each year, in my opinion. Lots of people who are not into college hoops during the…

I heard on a podcast recently that Starbucks has a policy that they will stay open 10 minutes later than their posted closing time, just in case someone was rushing to get there and wanted to get some coffee before close. Ten minutes is not a lot, but if you recall, one of my pet…

To The Parents of More Than Four, Hello. I hope this letter finds you well. (As well as can be expected, with more than four kids in your house!) We are thrilled to let you know that God added to our family yesterday. We are now the proud parents of four healthy children! The latest…
