This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin. Esta es una parte de la foto grande. Hay que adivinar lo que es. En una semana [...]

It is like special ordering a doiley to be used on a specific chair and then not using it.  Oh?  Well, I guess it isn’t like that at all, it is that.  This is mostly meant to see if she is reading this site.  And to show off my handiwork, that never was used for [...]

Yesterday I was working at the preschool again. We were in the gym* playing. There were two new little girls**, so I was trying to get them to play with the other kids and make friends. One little girl that I happen to be playing with***, Girl Z 2 yrs, was playing on the indoor [...]

Our friends Jason and Jessie had us over for steak tonight. It was good. Aiden referred to the dinner rolls as biscuits. So, I did the best thing I could think of doing, I started talking with an English accent. She gave me funny looks, but by and by, she started to pick it up [...]

When we started this blog, I promised that I would never post about what happens in bed. Today, I’m breaking that promise. This has been a busy work week for me, and I’ve been up very late solving problems and doing the general geeky stuff that I do.  Last night, I didn’t get to bed [...]

So we live in a house. Since we moved in it has precipitated quite a bit. We have had rain and snow, and the snow melted, and we got mud. Lots of mud. Ideally, for us, there would be a paved driveway. But we are not demanding people. And I was extremely pleased to find [...]

Yesterday I was at the preschool, here are some highlights. Girl T, 3yrs called after Girl EJ, 4yrs: EJ do not walk away from me! (For some reason I sense a pattern for future relationships…) Boy LM, 3yrs playing in the gym (well bellow freezing could not take kids outside) was trying to use the [...]

If you can read this, then this site has been successfully moved to a new server.  It looks like all posts, comments, photos, etc… migrated successfully.  With a little luck, you would never know that we changed servers if I hadn’t told you. If you do encounter problems, please let us know, and I’ll get [...]

In the recent months I have begun to eat more beef, however this is turkey.  I took the picture a couple weeks ago because I was grossed out by the blood, and it almost caused me not eat it.  So I am sharing it here.

There was an episode of Saved By the Bell where Jessie was on speed and that was her “melt-down” line. I am not sure why, but that is one of the random facts stuck in my brain. As part of my new calling, I get to clean out the Primary closet. This is a great [...]

Today is the day we put Rick and Ginny’s wedding announcements together. They are cute. She is glad though that we only get married one time! Too much work. For one day, perhaps I am projecting my latent Wedding preparation stress onto her. If she is lucky that is all there is to it. I [...]

Jacob agreed to accompany our friend again for a music contest.  When he called to see about picking up the music, we were invited to eat with them.  So we made an impromptu dessert with some leftover mousse and strawberries.  Still yummy.

Tonight we had the missionaries over for dinner and we invited our friend John over who we haven’t seen in over a year. It was nice to have him over and visit. Jacob made fettuccine from scratch and Alfredo sauce too. I made white chocolate mousse tarts with strawberries for dessert. (The same kind from [...]

Today we drove to St Louis to take Erin back to the airport.  We will miss her and hope she has a great semester.  After we dropped her off we went to find the Panera Bread Company and The Viking Store that we found on our honeymoon.  So we took Karen to see the cool [...]

Here is the answer to the last quiz I posted more than a month ago.  I apologize for such a delay.  We had some holidays take over my life.  I updated and now I will be back on task, I hope. I figured mom would get this answer easily.  She has a remote just like [...]

I have been keeping a list of things I needed to post about, and the location of pictures to go with said posts for a long time now. Today I finished posting them. Now I can get back to a regular routine of posting. That means on Monday the Quiz is back!!!! Today we got [...]

The crazy Schedule of the holidays has caught up with me and now I am sick*.  I haven’t felt this bad since May of 2001**.  Next Christmas I am definitely starting in August, and getting my beauty rest each night.  Anyway I have been working on back posting for a while now, I hope to [...]

Today I went to the store to get groceries and I needed more deodorant.  While I was in the deodorant aisle, a family passed though.  The little girl, probably about 4 years old** said, “Daddy I need new deodorant!”  he said she has some already, and she answered, “Yes, but it is dry.”  I am [...]

We stayed in our PJs all day.  When I did go outside I just pulled overalls on over my pajamas and put on my jacket!  Hooray for sleep day.  But I got sick this evening, I think the crazy holiday schedule has caught up with me.  Tomorrow I plan to sleep too. *I am writing [...]

Mother nature decided to usher in the new year with bad snow, yet again.  It took us almost two hours to get from Macomb to Danville.  When we finally got there we celebrated Geneva and Gretchyn turning one!  They have come such a long way. After the girls ate cake** and opened presents, we were [...]
