  • Welcome, Little Joseph!!

    My brother's (John's) wife gave birth yesterday to their fourth child (and fourth son!), Joseph Telios. (8 pounds, 10 ounces, 21 inches) We're going to their house for Easter to see them and get my baby fix in. Very e…

  • Changes

    I was realizing on Saturday that we have entered a new stage of parenting. Maybe I actually realized it last week when I went to a mom’s event at our church and sat with a couple of mothers of one child. But it real…

  • Lost

    So, I was sitting at the table this afternoon, making one of those lists I love to make for fun. Thankfully, I rarely feel compelled to actually live up to my list or accomplish what I doodle, so I have the freedom t…

  • Spring Days

    Spring sprang today, and we basked in the balmy 65 degrees the thermometers reached. After church, the kids begged for a picnic lunch, so we set out folding tables (I haven’t persuaded Dave on the need for that lovel…

  • Picky Eaters

    I am not a stupendous cook, but I have pretty much figured out how to cook food that my kids will usually eat and that we all find palatable. Unfortunately—is it just a necessity of being a mother?—I occasionally fee…

  • Perceptions and Spring**

    If you’d seen me tell the neighbor kids that “I’m sorry but the kids can’t play today” on Sunday, you might think I wasn’t very hospitable. But maybe you’d reconsider when you saw us entertaining friends for dinner t…

  • Bible Studies

    So, I finally took the plunge. I decided since I can usually count on my youngest staying in the nursery, it was time to sign up for a Women’s Bible Study at my church. After all, Bible studies are my thing. In my …

  • Snow Days

    Winter is finding it hard to leave and dumped several inches of snow on us today. So, schools were cancelled, and I rolled over and slept in after my husband brought me the news. So nice to start the day out in a r…

  • Why?

    It was a year ago on Saturday that I started blogging. It started out innocently when I received a hilarious Christmas letter from my cousin which I read to my brothers and called my sister to see if she had yet rea…
