A New Interest Emerges
March 28, 2009 – 9:09 pm
Anna has opened an etsy account this week to raise money for the Caring for China Center. So far she has posted two items and will soon post a third. On each item she has to write a description. I have been very impressed with her written description. Why don’t you take a peek at [...]
Halfway to Adulthood
March 27, 2009 – 10:34 pm
Anna turned nine last month! I can’t believe she is already half-way to adulthood!! In some ways it is cool, but I am not ready for her to be grown yet! I mean, I could be a grandmother in another 10 years or so!! Huh?!? Me?!? Anyway, here are some pictures of my half grown [...]
In the Meantime
March 26, 2009 – 11:49 pm
When my brother was in kindergarten, he went through a phase of being mean right after school. When I asked him why he was being so mean, he said, “because it is in the mean time.” I am not sure where he got the idea that after school was the meantime, but I am guessing [...]
Group Writing Project: Goodbye Winter – Results
March 25, 2009 – 11:26 pm
Winter is officially over. Spring Equinox has past and the weather was beautiful today. It is time to say goodbye to winter, but it is a fond farewell. Two weeks ago, I announced a group writing project on the topic of the best things about winter. I have listed all the participants so far below. [...]
Winter's End
March 24, 2009 – 11:54 pm
Even though winter is technically over, it still feels like winter here in New England. Now is my last opportunity to think of those things I want to make the best of before winter’s long nap. Here is my list. I am sure there are more things, but I can always add those later, right? [...]
Routine Diet
March 23, 2009 – 8:59 pm
Well, it is that time again. I need to work on losing weight….again! I have been working on it off and on this year, but now is the time to get serious! Wanna know my diet plan? It is very much linked to routine. When I lost 30 pounds a few years ago, I lost [...]

B/t 2 adults and 7 children, we just polished off 5-6 apples, 3 bananas, and 3 oranges! # There is nothing quite like sitting down after a long day on your feet! # Ever see a dog chase his tail? It is hilarious! # @lgedeon Aren’t they always blushing? But since I have never seen [...]
A New Favorite Movie
March 21, 2009 – 10:03 pm
I watched a particular movie today for the second time, and I now believe it may be one of the best movie I have ever seen! Of course, part of that may be due to the fact that it is a Christian movie that gives much praise to God! The name of the movie is [...]
Air Hockey Tournament
March 20, 2009 – 11:52 pm
Since we are babysitting for friends at their house, and they have an air hockey table, we decided to have an air hockey tournament for family night tonight. We had 9 participants, ranging in age from 5 to 31. Now I know that sounds unfair, but we all had fun, even when we were losing. [...]
One Man Show

This video was screaming to be posted even though I have no idea what they are saying. So, if they say anything inappropriate, please forgive me. After the video is over, click here to find out how you can help the people of China in their pursuit of freedom (uhm, to make it possible for [...]
A Full Load
March 18, 2009 – 9:28 pm
This has been a week of full loads. As I type I have a full load in the washer and a full load waiting to be folded. That is more than usual, but I have a really good reason for it this week moreso than others because we also have a full house. You see, [...]

Looking for a quick and easy blog post? Karen Swim introduced me to something called Lazy Bloggers Post Generator. Here is what I came up with using this blogging method. Peter Pan! I just had a cup of tea and realized I have not updated this since you last visited… You would not believe how [...]

Return of the Bug
March 14, 2009 – 10:16 pm
Well, the yucky stomach virus is visiting yet again. I keep trying to explain to him that he is not welcome here, but I am not sure he speaks English. Even if he did, I am not sure he could make sense out of the words coming out of my mouh. I am falling asleep [...]
Dinner With The President
March 13, 2009 – 11:29 pm
Luke and I had a very exciting evening tonight. I didn’t know when we went to the China Care Brown benefit dinner that we would get to sit next to the president. She seemed really nice, and someone there said that she was the most popular president in America, but I think he might have [...]
Early Bird Blues
March 12, 2009 – 11:28 pm
All of my children have been early birds at an early age, but most of them started sleeping in as they got older. Peter has always been an early bird and probably always will be. Family night is a time when it is unfortunate to be an early bird. Peter is always the first one [...]
Group Writing Project: Goodbye Winter
March 11, 2009 – 10:52 pm
Well, Spring is right around the corner. Anybody have Spring fever? Me too! I think it would be a good idea to let Winter go out with style instead of with a “good riddance” attitude. So, here’s the question. What part of Winter are you going to miss? Wondering why that is important? If you [...]

At our last grill-out of the summer/fall season, I decided to take pictures of the fire to see how they turned out. What do you think?
Tea Party Revisited
March 9, 2009 – 11:19 pm
Today I learned about a tea party inspired by the Boston tea party. It is called the New American Tea party. Basically the idea is to send a tea bag to several different representatives on April 1. This will ensure that the tea bag is received by April 15, the day of the tea party. [...]

Time to Sell Ole Faithful
March 7, 2009 – 11:20 pm
Our 24 Hour Van is for sale! Can you believe it!? We outgrew it. Not because of extra children but because of friends we are bringing to church. I guess Beacon has a bus ministry now. Pretty exciting, isn’t it?

March 6, 2009 – 11:29 pm
Luke and I decided to post our favorite February blog posts tonight. Because I am having a hard time choosing just one (as usual), I am posting two.Which would you have chosen? Real Love Candy and Snow

Ready to POP? Here goes! I will Pick One Pic and post it. What easier way is there to post 1000 words? I just hope I don’t get in trouble for posting this one!
Snow Shovel, Anyone?
March 4, 2009 – 11:59 pm
A few days ago we got 6-7 inches of snow. We usually borrow our neighbors’ snow shovel. Because he wasn’t around to ask when I went out to shovel, I decided to use a regular shovel. It did not take me long to discover that a regular shovel was not intended for snow. Most of [...]

Someone gave us a few summer hats, and the girls in the family enjoyed a photo shoot with them. Can you tell we had fun?
