Apologies again for my lack of posting. I think I need a new blog name. I’m not so sure that I like the fact that my name is the blog address, because even though I currently have the blog settings to make it not searchable by google, I’m getting hits from parts of the country where I don’t know anyone.… Read More »Writer’s block
My oldest daughter recently informed me that my blog doesn’t even know what’s happening in my life. Guess I should fix that. Here’s what’s been happening: January – The kids reacquainted themselves with the joys of snow. Sadly, we had just moved back north and didn’t get sleds. No problem. They used moving boxes. We had plenty of those.Kate left.… Read More »Updates
Today, I got to spend time alone (yes, ALONE) with my husband!! Emma was freshly fed and changed, and my hubby invited me to go for a walk. With him. Alone. Josh, Zach and Maddie stayed home, Kate was out running some errands. So Tom and I suited up (yes, getting ready for an hour or more outside when its… Read More »A Walk to Remember
It’s Christmas Eve, the day before the second most celebrated holiday for Christians. The stockings are hung, the tree is strung with lights and decorated, there are presents wrapped under the tree, whispers and secret comings and goings, closed doors and smiles of anticipation all around. Katie and I are finally baking Christmas cookies – yes, its late, but its… Read More »Christmas Eve
I had all sorts of amazing blog posts planned. Photos of our old view vs. our new view. Blogging from the road on our journey to our new home. Photos of the moving truck delivering our “household goods” (mover term for “stuff”). Photos of our new home. Yep, lots of things planned, but not much actually happened. For the record:… Read More »New Surroundings
We had a cold front come through the other day. Ok, it was a “cold” front. Texas style. Took us from about 75 degrees down to 60. Brrr! I’m gonna miss the weather here! The clouds were really pretty, so I took a couple of pictures to remember it. The sky really is bigger in Texas.
If this doesn’t make you smile, nothing will.
Katie is flying home today so she’s here for Josh’s and her birthday. She scheduled a non-stop flight out of Portland Maine. It was a little late (an hour) taking off, but we weren’t concerned because it was a non-stop flight. So I just pick her up at the airport a little later than planned. No big deal. EXCEPT…. I… Read More »Non-Stop
A rather fitting title I think. Its been a long “stretch” since I last posted. No, it didn’t take over a month to get my computer back. The Mac came home safe and sound. By some miracle, I lost absolutely nothing on the computer, but we did purchase an external hardrive to back up everything – especially those priceless pictures… Read More »Stretching
My computer died. On Sunday afternoon, I turned around to look something up on the internet (what in the world did we do before Google?). I searched, got a few options that looked like they potentially had the information I was looking for. Clicked on a couple. And then… Click. Just like that. Click. The computer shut down. It even… Read More »Click
