Kid’s Journals

January 19, 2011

Our desktop computer is officially on the fritz – forcing me to use husband’s cute little laptop. Cute and cramped. And all my pictures are on the desktop (don’t worry, we have carbonite back up for them). Nevertheless, I am determined I won’t let this stop me from blogging.I’m grateful to at least have a…

Grace for Simple Days

August 17, 2010

Yesterday I wrote in my journal: “Got my kitchen clean.Did Laundry.Made dinner.Kept 3 kids alive, learning, and loved.This is…

From my journal, last night, 9:00 pm – Well, of course a bat would come on the one night Jeremy was gone!!! And I couldn’t freak out ’cause I didn’t want Jesse to get scared. And he didn’t – he just lay in his bed casually watching is mother flail a towel around the hallway,…

Notes from the North, part third

February 21, 2010

Journaled at 2:34pm, Friday afternoon For the first time our White Face trip has felt like a Vacation instead of an Expedition to the North Pole. It still feels like the North Pole, but it is so much more relaxing. When Christine asked me what made the difference, I nailed it down to 3 things…….

Notes from the North, part second

February 20, 2010

Journaled at 11:15am, Friday morningAfter only 6 hours of sleep I slipped quietly out of our room in search of something to make me feel human. A long, hot shower and the luxury of making breakfast for myself without multi-tasking made up for not being able to sleep in past 7:30. I was just enjoying…

In which we reccomend 3 books and speak of listening

November 4, 2009

The Lord has been faithful to me. Even when I am not faithful to Him – when I neglect our relationship, forget Who He is, and how much He loves me – and begin living my life based on lies of the Enemy – yes, even then, He is faithful. He doesn’t give up. If…

Travel Diaries: Comfort Zones

July 23, 2009

It’s nice to have the comforts of home, even while on vacation. Claire is certainly glad we brought her Bumbo – we use it during each meal time and it really saves space and is more convenient than a highchair. We also brought her play quilt which we spread in the livingroom each day for…

I have been reading a Louis L’Amour and it has me longing for Colorado. Horn Peak on our last visit to Colorado, Summer ’07 “Ruth said I was a man who loved to look upon distance, and it was true. There is no majesty like the grand sweep of miles upon miles of mountains and…

Contentment

February 12, 2009

“Contentment doesn’t come from having money to spend, or no money to spend. It comes from believing that whatever circumstance we find ourselves in, it is from the Lord to root out of us what is not like Him, and replace it with His character, with Himself. Happiness or becoming content isn’t getting what you…
