I don’t usually remember the dates when people died, but my grandmother’s is stuck in my head because she died on my birthday.
Two years ago on December 17 my father’s mother was expected to leave the hospital and go home.  Instead of returning to her earthly home she went to her Heavenly home.
Now, she was [...]

Sometimes when I listen to a sermon I hear every word. I’m audibly glued to the message floating through the air waves.
Sometimes I’m totally in another place in my mind.  Thinking about yesterday or what’s coming.  Shame on me.
Most often I’m writing notes, settling the kids, and listening intermittently.

Thought I would brighten your Monday with some clips of my most favorite baby.
She’s not mine. That’s part of the fun.  I can hand her to her mother when she’s cranky.

Check out this crazy musical toy. It is a yellow duck, in a red santa suit, that sings We Wish You a [...]

Last Friday we bundled them up and took a field trip.
Before, during, and after we had to keep answering questions like these:

What’s a field trip?
Why do we go on a field trip?
Why are [...]

The writing style of Robin Jones Gunn is excellent in her book Engaging Father Christmas.
I did find the plot a bit weak.  It is a sugary-sweet story where everything works out just so.
Miranda is engaged to a perfect English man who seems to do nothing wrong. She herself is loving and forgiving while she [...]

I would say that I’m sorry for not posting sooner except I dislike constantly reading on blogs how the writer is sorry for not posting sooner.
The way my life gets leading up to Christmas I’m sure that I will be posting at different times.
I’m strapping on my skies and heading into the holiday season.
