We literally had a MOUNTAIN of laundry for Amanda to fold this weekend. It really piled up this week when we were all busy studying for our scuba class. I think we did about 15 loads over the weekend. That is TOTALLY out of character for us. NORMALLY, we do …

Here is the note I woke up to! I try to stay awake until “B” gets home, but I don’t always make it. She’s supposed to call when she’s headed home so I know she’s on her way, but sometimes I don’t remember that I answered the phone (LOL) when …

On the SHS internet loop I belong to there’s been a discussion about weather. I happened to mention that if it’s above freezing here we wear our sandals. Here’s Amanda getting ready to go out somewhere in her CHACOS and I don’t think it was even 32 degrees. I’m pretty …

Ididn’t take the time to load a link for La Bamba so you’ll need to hum it to yourself as you read this post. (LOL). Our co-op decided to do Spanish this year. It’s been a great introduction to the language and culture. For our 2nd end of unit celebration …

The worship team that Tim and I play with had the priviledge of playing all 5 Christmas Eve services. I was asked to play for the band that played the following weekend since they don’t have a keyboard player. However, I had been so sick before Christmas that things really …

TThis is quite the story. It was SO FUNNY that Emily decided to write about it for her free journal assignment for co-op last week. You’ll see it below. On a side note, after Emily wrote her free journal there was one more little switch-a-roo with the KEENS. I really …

Amanda’s cell group and leader went out for a fancy Christmas dinner! They had fun going out shopping for their dresses beforehand and the 3 girls had a sweet surprise for their leader. They all pitched in to purchase her a diamond necklace for Christmas. They were so excited to …

We’ve been having this ongoing discussion with Nathan about not wearing diapers. For the most part he is potty trained except for wearing a diaper at night. However, he has decided that he doesn’t want to do “all” of his business (LOL) in the toilet. We’ve bribed, we’ve punished, we’ve …

It doesn’t really seem quite right to post this right in the middle of all the Christmas decorating and reminiscing posts, but here goes. This blog entry comes with a *****WARNING — DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH***** I can hardly stand to look at …
