One of the things I love about Kent’s family is how close-knit they are. Four generations of extended family turned out for one of the games we attended last week, for the dual purpose of visiting with us traveling Floridians and cheering on the star basketball player. It was a riveting game, even for this […]

Well, I didn’t think it was a stupid question. It was a legitimate observation from a non-sports enthusiast who was making an honest effort to better understand what she was seeing. I only wanted to know why the basketball players kept touching the bottoms of their shoes. Maybe I asked rather too loudly, because I […]

I’ve just had an eye-opening revelation about exactly how dependent my family has become on portable electronic devices. I’m packing for our road trip and it looks like we’ll need a separate suitcase just for the gadgets we require to stay connected and entertained. The list includes: 1 digital camera w/ spare batteries (to capture […]

I have no time at all to blog this week. Much to do in the next 24 hours at work and at home in preparation for our road trip. I plan to have some good new material when I get back, but in the meantime I leave you with a repeat of this comical lesson […]

Chaos at work STOP 80 bazillion urgent projects all dumped in my lap at once STOP All due in the next two weeks STOP Already losing two days due to road trip next week STOP That’s what I get for complaining to others that work has been slow STOP God heard and delivered in overabundance […]

The other night, Maia and I were having a serious conversation about God, faith, and church, when she said the funniest thing about our minister. She said he screams. Well, he doesn’t exactly scream, but there was more than a nugget of truth in her observation, because he can be a pretty passionate speaker and […]

It was a spur of the moment plan, but we are going on a road trip next week, without the kids! It will be a quick trip that will have us in the car almost longer than we’ll actually be at our destination, and I can’t wait! I’ve always loved a good road trip. There […]

Kids sure do tell it like it is. My favorite comment so far about my weight loss, because it was so refreshingly honest, came recently from one of my daughter’s classmates. I picked my kids up after work the other night and this girl, whom I haven’t seen since probably May, spied us walking down […]

Maia has recently decided that everyone has a superpower, and I was informed the other day that mine is reading. Reading? Really? A superpower? Who knew? All this time, I’ve been selfishly thinking that my love of reading was just for my own personal entertainment. But this is, after all, the child who, when I […]

My rascally son is such a little tease. His latest amusement is fake kissing. He butters me up with a snuggle and a real kiss or two, then pretends he’s coming in for another one, only to stop short and smooch nothing but air. He’s quite proud of himself for inventing this game, but of […]
