The summer of 1990, my parents drove me from Slidell, Louisiana to Kerrville, Texas to work at a camp for physically handicapped children.  I wanted to interact with deaf children without going to summer school and a professor had suggested the camp.  I was a bit more than nervous since it was my first time [...]

Thinking About Driving to Albuquerque

April 30, 2012

As I prepare for our very first drive to Albuquerque as a family, I was reminded of this post (from December 2009).  The sad part is that the drive will be four hours longer.  Seriously. We drove to see family in Louisiana today. I missed you. I figured you missed me. To help you feel [...]

What We're Learning 140 Fridays

What a week.  The stacks of boxes.  The empty walls.  The big fat mess.  Egad. Here’s What We’re Learning, amid the boxes, walls and mess: 1) Foraging can be fun. I’m not kidding in the slightest that my kiddos have basically become foragers for their lunches.   It’s simply a matter of necessity.  I keep [...]

Eleven … Seriously

Today we celebrate Princess’ eleventh birthday.  I can’t believe that.  It seems like just yesterday I held her swaddled self in my arms (and giggled at My Sweetie’s shock) and wondered how it was possible to love three babies so stinkin’ much. She is a treasure.  She is soft hearted.  She is thoughtful.  She is [...]

This little girl has always loved playing with worms. Grosses me out (yes, I grew up in the 80s, why do you ask?) Do the kids in your life enjoy holding worms/caterpillars/inchworms?  Recommend on Facebook Tweet about it Subscribe to the comments on this post

moving system

Two weeks from today we will be leaving our home in the Hill Country of Texas and driving to our new home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  That means we’re packing up every item we have so we can take it all with us.  Fun stuff. Or not. I’m using the color coded system I used [...]

A year and a half ago I shared a post on hope.  Hope for a baby.  Hope for a couple.  Hope for a family.  I was reminded of that hope, just not in the way I had wanted. God took Gwendolyn home much, much earlier than any of us wanted, but our hope was still [...]

What We're Learning Web Ready 140

My, oh, my!  Moving is a mess!  Seriously. We are still learning lots around here, and not all of it is related to packing up eight Americans (who tend to have waaaaaay too much stuff) for a life changing move. 1) We fit in another field trip.  This time to the Sauer-Beckmann farm, a living [...]

Kale Chips Rock!

kale precooked

We have a new favorite vegetable in our home.  It’s weird because it’s a vegetable that most people don’t know what to do with really.  I didn’t either until I signed up for Pinterest. Now the kids request it.  Does it get any better for the life a vegetable than that?  Requested by children! Add [...]
