Alternately titled: Car Ride of Random We were heading home from Russian school, altogether as a family (in our smokin’ hot minivan that we now officially own, no less. HAWT!). It was raining. Again. We were tired and a little hungry since I failed in my mom duties and forgot to pack us dinners to […]

Dear Mom and Dad in England
April 24, 2011 by
Hi. So while you were off galavanting (something I’ve found you seem to be quite good at) about the English countryside this weekend, I was left to handle Easter on my own. While you toured Shakespeare’s birthplace and hiked through the animal infested forests, I realized that not only did I need to create some […]

April 22, 2011 by
No words today. Just silence and thought. Remembrance. FATHER! Pierced for our transgressions. Bruised for our iniquities. Thorns. Mocking. Caiaphas. Pilate. Herod. Taunts. Manipulate. Whip. Silence. Cross. Terrible. Dice. Gambling. Darkness. Grace. Forgiveness. It is Finished. Jesus.

Four years ago, a runner friend of mine convinced me to join her in a marathon relay downtown. Fancying myself a runner with untapped potential, I happily agreed and then spent the next four months cursing myself for agreeing to do something so reprehensible. I finished the race, running the last leg, which was uphill. […]

The amazing spring day yesterday made for spontanaity when the younger kiddos and I met up with a friend for a last minute trip to the Zoo. I love our Zoo – it’s big, it’s beautiful, it’s free… In addition to seeing animals, we also got to soak in the Zoo’s beautiful landscaping. I just […]

I am having a hard time focusing on blogging lately. There are a few reasons for this: First, I am just really busy. Between the kids activities, Lee being out of town, preparations for Easter at our church, the house on the market and general everyday things that pop up, I have little time to […]
