So here it is Wednesday again . . .
Pictures: From our church’s harvest party
News: Tonight, Mark and I surgically removed a red plastic peg from Charis’s ear. It took bribery to get her to remain still enough to put the tweezers far enough into her ear to get a decent grip on the thing, but […]
News: I got a new-to-me ipod nano. It arrived in today’s mail. I have been playing around with it, but it will take me a while to figure it all out. Already Nevin showed me how the volume control works. I think of myself as technologically savvy, and here I am one of those parents […]
First, A Photo
We spent Labor Day weekend at a campground/rv park in the Ozarks. It was fun for everyone. We had a little taste of camping with a campfire where we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. We went to a swimming hole in a natural spring in the Ozark National Riverways Park, and we visited the […]
Well, not really, but the weather sure is great. After a whirlwind trip to my sister’s funeral last weekend and attending a performance of my sweet Evangeline in the children’s chorus of the Sound of Music, this week has been busy but good.
Here’s Evangeline during dress rehearsal week with all her “stage make-up” on.
Mark’s parents […]
I’ve been home from visiting my mom in PA for nearly a week, and I wanted to post something before I forget some of what went through my mind as a part of this visit. I didn’t take any photos on this visit, and that is my only regret. I took my camera, but I […]
My friend from our Seattle days, Lindy, is a runner. She does marathons, etc. A few years back, my then seminary-wife friend, young Jessie, ran a half-marathon here in St Louis. Now I see that my friend from Atlanta, Jennifer, is running in 5ks and 10ks. I am always impressed when I learn about their […]
The gang on Halloween. Calvin opted out of Trick or Treating this year.
The girls chose to be “good witches,” while Nevin was a soldier as he had been at the Harvest Party a few weeks earlier.
Here are the “good witches.” Evangeline assembled both costumes. She’s a great big sister!
Nevin misplaced his pit helmet, so his […]
As promised, here are some more pics from the cruise:
This is the view from the road as we entered the LA Port
Inside our stateroom on the ship. Every night our stateroom attendant created a new towel character like Sebastian to welcome us to our room.
This was taken from our stateroom window near the coast […]
Remember that post way back in March when I told you I won a Disney Cruise? We finally went last week, and we had a great time.
The we included: me, Calvin, Nevin, and Evangeline. Mark and Charis held down the fort at home for a few days and then took a quick trip […]
we’ve had a some birthdays:
We’ve been to the Magic House.
Doing things aroud the house:
And we went to visit boy scout camp:
We’ve also been to a Cardinals game, the science center, Grant’s Farm, the park, the pool, and the library (countless times). I should have a photo of Nevin reading because he has read 18 Redwall […]
