We had a cookout dinner with our Sunday School group today. Mike learned to play Bocce and the girls really enjoyed the hammock. That’s now on their wish list for the backyard. How they think we’re going to get a swing set, a pool, and a hammock all in our little yard is beyond my powers of time and space. […]
Lighting conditions don’t always allow me to turn off my flash, and minimike’s eyes are light enough to go red. It’s the best red-eye correction method I know of and the results are very natural.
It’s official – I am now a grad student at SUNY-Binghamton! They like me – they really like me! The girls made motivational posters for me in honor or the occasion.

Tonight’s prayer was (condensed version follows): Dear God, Thank […]
I keep an extra car key in the kitchen island. Minimike likes to rummage around the island looking for candy, since that’s where the Easter baskets, Halloween baskets, and goody bags get thrown. Whenever she finds the key we have the same conversation about how it starts the car and she puts it back. Yesterday morning as we were getting […]
I had to pick up something at the high school today. High school is a thousand times scarier than I remember it. As soon as I set foot on campus I knew in the very pit of my soul that I was not wearing the right clothes, shoes, or accessories. I instinctively ducked my head and desperately hoped no one […]
I intensely dislike reading people’s rants about about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ relationship – so many cruel words for people they don’t personally know – it’s gotten so out of hand on the entertainment public forums I find so addictive.
