Let the Season Begin

Scenes from 2009

The kids decorating the tree.

Looking forward to this most special, blessed month.

Somewhat Wordless Wednesday / Mini-Moments

Everyone needs a place to just sit and think.

(He thought it was funny getting his picture taken in the dryer and wanted to pose for more pictures. But I liked this first one the best, when he was unaware I had entered the room)

Working on those fine motor skills.

In answer to your question, yes, my son is riding his Big Wheel naked. Well, almost naked.


Forever on the prowl for food.

White Party 2010

Labor Day, or as I was brought up to know as The Last Day to Wear White for a While Day, will soon be upon us. Now, I have to admit something. There are times I’ve worn white well into September. When it’s 95 degrees outside it’s hard to remember such a rule. Anyway, to kick off the end to our official season of white I’m joining in on the fun of posting a White Party started over at DSS. Enjoy this somewhat wordy Wordless Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday - Cats in Hats

According to the news last night, hats are making a comeback.

To be honest, this makes me kinda happy.

Already one cool cat!

My favorite silver screen cat.

Even gals look great in them!

Wordless Wednesday

A future Ferris?



" Danke Schoen, Darling Danke Schoen..."

Teacher: Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Girl in class: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Wordless Wednesday - Window With a View

A hot, stormy day

A stormy evening.

Mini-Moment...John-Heath is really getting into Shark Week. He thinks the sharks (especially those Great White ones) are awesome. But he's somewhat conflicted, too. He feels for the seals. In fact tonight, while I had gone to pick up Ren from football, he told John they needed to pray for the seals. When John failed to produce an appropriate prayer the boss took over. This was his entreaty.

Dear Lord,

Please protect the seals.

Don't let the sharks eat the seals.

Please love the seals.

Amen.
