J’s First Soccer Practice

Grandparents and all, photos and video are here. Today, after we finished with school, we headed out to Target to get J’s first pair of shin guards, cleats and socks. He was so excited! He helped pick out the shin guards (he had to chose between two) and then he tried on the cleats. He’s [...]

Thankful Thursday

I get to live where I am able to vote. Imagine living somewhere that changes leaders by who shows he’s a bigger bully? I get to live where I can speak freely. Hold on…it doesn’t matter where I live, I can speak freely because Christ has given me liberty. I live in a time when [...]

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day

He’s got an Intel processor this time (first time ever to build one using something other than AMD) and a supah fast mobo—err, mother board—and goops of RAM. Just the [...]

Silly Puppy!

MVI_7558 Originally uploaded by Phisch Along with learning to master climbing up stairs, she’s climbing up furniture. In this case, it was by accident. Serves her right for trying to herd children who climb furniture! Funny thing is, she absolutely refuses to go down. I think she has a fear of heights. The first time [...]

New Bookcases

They’re finally here! Woohoo! Yes, I was impatient since I had to wait a whole 24 hours for them to arrive. We bought them yesterday at a tent sale that Fourhands has a few times a year. They supply a few of the bigger furniture stores that you find at malls. But, I promise we [...]
