A Good Mom

Posted on 8:59 AM by Unknown
Sometimes, a good mom is the one who seizes the opportunity to use her energy most efficiently.  Someone who occasionally bypasses the “teaching moment” regarding her child not crumbling an entire sugar cookie onto his lap, and instead opts to conserve her sanity with a Dirt Devil.   Luckily Jayce thought it was hilarious....

A Pre-Review

Posted on 6:45 AM by Unknown
This past June, Chris’ book was officially released.  We’ve been waiting for it to be reviewed, and a pre-review appeared this weekend on the personal blog of the reviewer.  It is by Rafael Rodriguez, who is reviewing it for the Biblical Theology Bulletin.  Chris was in Seminary with Rafael, and I was eager to see what he had to say.  First, I cannot resist posting an interesting side-story about Chris and Rafael.  Before...

Cheater Pillow

Posted on 12:16 PM by Unknown
I have been seeing lots of lovely pillows popping up everywhere this holiday season as gift suggestions, and I am always jealous because they are so adorable, but fall into that category of stuff that I just can’t mess with because I don’t have a sewing machine. (Other “stuff that I can’t mess with” are projects that require power tools, a printer, an assumption that there is spare wood lying around, etc. I am happy for these limitations because...

Lights & Santa

Posted on 9:01 AM by Unknown
These are from our recent trip to Peoria’s Festival of Lights.  Jayce was fine with Santa, didn’t love him, didn’t hate him.  But he loved the lights....

Sometimes We Take Christmas Pictures

Posted on 8:23 AM by Unknown
One of the reasons I was itching to get my hands on a better camera this time last year was so that I could take Christmas-y pictures of Jayce. My other camera literally would not let me do what I wanted, since it couldn’t focus unless I was 3+ feet away, and not using a flash with a wiggly 7 month old made for super blurry shots. But this year I have my camera, have been learning about it for almost a year now, and sometimes my pictures look like...

Beautiful Burlap & Tree Trimmings

Posted on 6:13 AM by Unknown
Last week one of my friends got a fresh live tree. She was telling a bunch of us about it and mentioned that they had trimmed a ton off the bottom of the tree, so if anyone wanted any fresh branches to let her know. I was first in line. We have a fake tree at home, which I like, and I really like not having all the hassles that come with a live tree, but I really miss that fresh scent. This was the perfect opportunity for me to have my cake and...

Favorite Time of the Day

Posted on 8:18 AM by Unknown
I just read an article in which various writers discussed the most meaningful part of their days. As I was reading these, I couldn’t help but think about my own favorite part, which only took me a second, it’s when Chris comes home from work. As the night goes on we inevitably fall into our various routines: dinner, cleanup, bath, and bedtime. But for that first half hour or so, it's all excitement. Jayce's manner of greeting Chris when he walks...

Winter Wonder

Posted on 12:36 PM by Unknown
Jayce discovered something fun this morning.  Can you tell what it was? Really, what is more exciting than discovering that you can fog up the window, and then write on it with your finger?  This is the closest that we have come to playing in the cold this week.  It is freezing here.  I hope this game is still fun in a few months when we all have cabin fever. ...

Non-Committal Decor

Posted on 9:15 AM by Unknown
First off, I’ll start with my version of what everyone seems to have going on this year. Ta da! Ornament wreath! I must confess that I have decorating commitment issues, and therefore couldn’t figure out what to do with this baby once it was finished. There is no light on our front door so you couldn’t really see the wreath, and I liked it too much to not let it shine. So I found this old picture on sale at a thrift store ($5), punched out the ugly...
