During a mandatory nap time for all family members in our household yesterday, Cole and Josiah made "good" use of the maps that hang above their beds.The following is their collection of original jokes from their "naptime":(all answers are states/countries)1. Which state wears the most contacts?2. Which state washes the floor the most?3. Where do ants go in the winter?4. Which state goes to the

Isaac has the habit of spontaneously proclaiming "it's a niiiiice day!" It may be because the sun is shining (which is something to celebrate around here this spring) or it may be because we stopped for ice cream or just because Dad is home and we are enjoying being together again. It never ceases to make me pause and reflect on the simple good things of life when I hear him say those words.

And because sometimes he found my doll Emily in the car for me." "I am thankful he plays football with me. And that I can play football with him."

I was experimenting with the video feature on our camera (the kids were expecting me to take a picture at any moment, so kept posing)...but the end of this video is so cute I knew a few people would enjoy it greatly. Isaac to Dad's rescue!

I made a new rule several years back of "no more war movies" together. I'm not anti-war...far from it...but simply found the gratuitous violence less than relaxing when we get the chance to watch something together. There's always exceptions to that rule and true stories always tip the scales for me to break "the rule." The movie Defiance that is just coming out is definitely one of those

Pittsburgh's going to Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Big Ben and Polamolu did us proud...January 11th is my sister's b-day, so the boys were thrilled to celebrate at her house (and get to watch the Steelers game on the big screen). In classic aunt amy mode, she gifted (on her b-day) every member of our family with terrible towels! Maddie has got the twirl down...she watches every moment of the game (

I love this picture that reminds me of the feeling of being surrounded by those I love. Thanks to all who made our Christmas so special! Josiah in his prized Polamolu (am I even spelling that right?) jersey...clutching his Boise Broncos shirt and ball (and wearing the hat!)...priceless picture that summarizes his gift interests this year.

Because I am in the midst of trying to mail out Christmas cards this post really spoke to me on simplifying. While I love both the sending and the receiving of cards (because I'm a bit extroverted and love connecting) I thought this lady's thoughts were really good to read in the midst of the process. And the following quote relates to so much more than sending (or not sending)/receiving cards:I

Yesterday we were really impressed by the Build & Grow program at Lowe's. Our kids were able to participate and build (from wood) gingerbread houses. Your child gets goggles, an apron, a badge for that day, and the project kit for that day. On future visits (they offer programs 2x/month) your child can earn additional badges to add to the apron for every workshop they complete. And, I would have

You ask what I am doing to celebrate advent? I'm searching for Jesus. Every day. Literally. We have a nativity that has a minute sized Jesus that is removable from it's manger and can be placed in Mary's open arms. This nativity set is plastic and made for children to manipulate. While last year the thought of Jesus possibly being a choking hazard was an issue...this year we are passed that

These pictures are not complete (hopefully I'll be back to add more later) as I was using our old camera (remember "rolls" of film!) for most of the trip. We got a new camera (yeah!) at a Black Friday sale....only to be disappointed greatly in it's performance (to be returned)...and my sister offered to gift us with her old one (yeah again).

I had never heard of winkflash.com until reading in Real Simple magazine today that this website was at the bottom of their price comparison chart for being most economical at $8/20 (and that price includes the 4x8 or 5x7 sizes). Tonight (or this morning) I hurriedly placed an order through their website before Tom leaves tomorrow with the computer again. Unbelievably their prices are 40% off

Tom is teaching away this weekend, but the kids and I decided to try and surprise him and get the leaves raked while he is gone. I thought it was a good way for me to get exercise too (unfortunately I also purchased a bag of my all time favorite Christmas candy last night...Hershey's candy cane kisses...and can never stop with just one)!Where's Si?

Ever the prepared chef, I called my friend Kate on Saturday night on the way to the store to get this recipe. We had eaten this at their house a while back...but it had lived on in my memory. Well oh joy that when I made it, it indeed tasted wonderful and the kids (and hubby) all really loved it. They serve their chili over cooked elbow macaroni and topped with a little shredded cheddar cheese.

Tom took our 2 oldest boys to MT (along with uncle Jeff who drove from PA to meet them here) where they all met up with Grandpa and a friend. Everyone limited out with deer and antelope and the boys thought hiking along behind dad and their uncle was just the coolest thing ever. They came home wanting to tell me all about the biology lessons they learned from watching the animals field dressed...

Tom rarely is able to take or pick up Maddie from preschool so a couple weeks back they were both excited when the chance arose. Tom and I had both been amused/disturbed by a song she had learned at school that she constantly sang around our house. This is how she sang it:"Shake, shake, shake your baby,shake, shake, shake your baby,shake it on down to New Orleans."We were sure something was lost

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd wind up living pretty much in the middle of metro suburbia when I dreamed about raising a family someday. Especially when I fell in love with a guy who only wanted to talk about mountains, 3rd world countries and places like Tibet. So it's kind of funny that we winded up where we are now. My husband loves teaching at TEDS and we both thoroughly

Okay, I think up to this point most of the recipes I've shared have been desserts (and I wonder why I struggle with my weight?) but I am excited to share a main course this time around. I love this recipe for many reasons. First it is from my dear friend Jill (does anyone else love recipes more because they come from someone you love or is that just me?), second it uses instant rice so it cooks

Cole turned 8 at the beginning of last month. It was a low key night at home (our favorite kind) with a visit from Grandma to make the day extra special. Nana & Gramps will be happy to read that his favorite dinner, and request for his birthday meal, was finger steaks. He also had soccer practice that evening and the entire family has really enjoyed cheering for him at his weekly games.A picture

Okay, I know it's probably too hot for some of you to even want to attempt turning on the oven, but around here we've had delightful weather. After reading the "moneysavingmom" write about making a peach pie in which her preschool daughter cut shapes to create the top layer, I was inspired to try baking a peach pie. I tried linking to this post--it was part of her "making your home a haven"

Tom is out west this week working with his Dad (we tried to squeeze in the suitcases but with 4 kids it was a little snug). Well, the boys spent a night at Aunt Amy's in downtown Chicago this week. Yesterday Maddie, Isaac and I rode the train in to pick them up. What a blessing that turned out to be as we made it in SO quickly with no worries about traffic. Our only "problem" was that Cole's

The day before we left for New Jersey, I was so excited to be able to meet up with my old B-hall buddy from HSBC, Michelle. Ah, the stories I could tell (but definitely won't because she could definitely return the "favor")... How is it we can be so close and then~boom~11 years has gone by since we've seen each other?! All I can say is, as I drove home that night (yep, you guessed it I got

This week at Walgreens the Premium Comfort Stretch diapers are on sale buy 1, get 1 50% off and there is a $5/2 in the August monthly easysaver catalog. Which means you will be able to purchase a Jumbo pack of diapers for $3.50.I tried these diapers right before we went camping (because of another great sale I had stumbled upon that week) and I have been surprised by how well they have held up.

Our family with our friends, Jill & Rod, and their 4 boys who are all born in relative close proximity to our own kids. Our families are friends in every sense of the word...everybody always has a buddy (though some are more talkative than others!) when we are together. "Just sitting here thinkin' with myself."

Josiah really, really wants a dog. He was delighted to participate in a "canine capers" reading program at the library this morning. You can't really hear on this video but my camera is on the blitz and wouldn't take a still photo either.

"I am 16 going on 17..." Maddie loves to reenact that part of Sound of Music everytime she sees a circular fountain or gazebo. Here Daddy joined in the reenactment by the Smithsonian Castle in D.C.She spins and she sways to whatever song plays without a care in the world.

Last night, we finally got to read a book we have been trying to check out from the library for a couple of weeks...the original Fancy Nancy book. We've read three others that Maddie has enjoyed altogether but I must say the original is the best in the series. The last page is one of those classic children's book endings.

Well, our clan is officially on summer vacation and we are all really enjoying it! Last week we were privileged to have two of Tom's sisters come to see us. Krys and Jeff came so that Jeff could attend a medical conference in Chicago. Krys and I enjoyed hanging out with the kids and doing several fun day trips together. Deb was only here for a day as she came to help Krys drive on to their

We were THRILLED to break 80 on Memorial Day. It felt so good to wear summer clothes (how easy to get out the door...no coats!), only to be back in the 50s again today. Tonight is supposed to be in the 30s. We plowed up the garden patch but the question still remains of when to plant.It looks like another year of zoo visits is in store for our brood.

I have never had the privilege of meeting Dr. Kinlaw...but through my husband's interactions with him and largely through reading his devotional (This Day With the Master) I have grown to deeply respect this man, his writings, work, but mostly his journey of faith that he shares so freely and sincerely.

Always loyal.Mom has always been sacrificial. She always looks for ways to serve others, to help others, to make others succeed. I remember many times Mom waiting until she was sure that there was enough for everyone -- even for everyone to

Being sick has it's advantages...it reminds you of the gift of health...and in this beautiful but hectic world we live in, sometimes it is the only way we truly slow down.

This post is for all my old college friends. I was so surprised to recently participate in one of those e-mails where you answer 20 questions about unusually mundane items (like ice cream preference) to learn the very exciting news that my friend Dara had gotten married in London! That was definitely not mundane news...after a few e-mails I was able to hear more details and then see these

Cole anticipated last Thursday for the entire week...and seemed to think that working with Dad lived up to all his expectations. I highly suspect two reasons for this: first he really loves spending time with his Dad and really enjoyed hobnobbing with all Tom's colleagues but we cannot also overlook the fact that he got to play on Dad's computer in the afternoon! Tom was highly amused by a

Maddie and I got to have a girls outing where we went to see the musical Little Women put on by a local high school. I love the book and the movie but had never seen the musical (had no idea there was one). It was a really sweet rendering of the story and the students did a great job. I especially was moved by these lyrics that Marmee sings to Jo after Beth's passing:So Believe that she matters!

This dear, dear beautiful boy of mine is at such a crazy and fun little stage in life. He recently raided the spice drawer, opened up the jar of bouillon cubes (screwed lid), unwrapped one of those shiny papered cubes and was trying to eat it. I caught him at this point but he didn't realize I was there yet. The funniest part was after he tasted it he made no puckered face...just calmly started

It has been five years ago, today that my Dad left this earth...and our daily lives. My Mom had part of the following quote inscribed on his grave:"Nothing can make up for the absence of one whom we love, and it would be wrong to try to find a substitute; we must simply hold out and see it through. That sounds very hard at first, but at the same time it is a great consolation, for the gap, as

Tom and I have been taking Dave Ramsey's class, Financial Peace. So far, we are enjoying it and picking up some great tips...but I think both of us would say that our favorite part of the class is just being together and purposefully dreaming about tomorrow. My one big caveat with him is step #7 where he says then you will be "the rich getting richer" and while he says this is the goal so that

Actually, it's been rather refreshing to just hang out around the house together.

Joint baby dedication--August 2007Isaac & Preston, cousinsIt is so sad to realize that we have only been with you a few short days of your first year in our family...we love you so much and wish we could have been with you to help you celebrate. What a sweet, snuggable, huggable bundle of love you are!!

6 years old! Josiah, being the animal enthusiast he is, really enjoyed going to the Rainforest Cafe on his birthday. Today we are off to the Lincoln Park zoo in Chicago for him to get his fill of the real thing. He is such a joy to watch, especially in his enthusiasm and delight in all things wild. It was a really sweet night to remember how very special he makes our family. I don't know, Nana &

Be sure to see the conclusion of Sense and Sensibility (Sunday night, PBS) if you can. This is a new reendition and I found it thoroughly delightful. This is also the conlusion of The Complete Jane Austen series, which showcased all six of her books. In my humble opinion, I enjoyed Persuasion the most of all.

(Better late than never :-)!)We wanted to take this opportunity to say how thankful we are that you are in our family. The picture above reminds us all of a really fun walk we got to enjoy while we were camping together last summer. Have fun playing ball this summer...we want to hear all about it!

...this Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at Walgreens. Just take your printer cartridge with you (color or black ink) and use the coupon from their weekly ad flyer (it was in Sunday's paper but they always have them in the store right inside the door). I missed it last time but am planning to definitely get in on the deal this time around!

My sister-in-law, Julie, was my friend long before I ever thought her brother would look my way with any interest in his heart. It has been so fun to experience all four of my pregnancies within relative proximity of hers.

I know you've all been on pins and needles waiting to hear if I made it to the end...and what meaty thoughts I have to share from my reflections on it. Let me say that this was a "plow read" through and through. I never would have finished without the accountability of my reading group. I am glad I finished but still have trouble putting it all together.I loved the quote on the back of the book

Last weekend I had the great privilege of traveling to Normal, Illinois to attend my 4th Hearts at Home Conference. Hearts is founded by Jill Savage, a pastor's wife and former teacher whose passion in life has become professionalizing motherhood (a title of one of her books) and affirming mothers in their decisions to pursuit their vocations with 110% of their being.

Reading princess stories (while wearing princess jammies)! Our "guest" room is actually Maddie and Isaac's bedroom. Normally we move those two out when company comes over. However, Maddie was thrilled beyond words to get to stay in her room and have "sleepovers with Ms. Kimmycakes." She is still telling us now that she is "afraid to sleep in her room without Ms. Kimmycakes." Hmmmm.... Does the

Since we had a half day off school we drove into the city on Martin Luther King day to enjoy a trip to the Field Museum. Amy had read about a new "Maps" exhibit that she thought Cole would be very into so that had been the original idea behind our visit. Amy and Steve treated Cole to the maps exhibit, while the rest of us ventured through hall after hall of animal exhibits.Josiah brought MANY

Date: Jan 24, 2008 7:33 AMToday we had the Pastors Conference all day again. We heard two more testimonies of the pators from Orissa. It is difficult to comprehend these viscious attacks. The attackers came from outside the villages. There were about 3000 of them. It was clearly a planned attack on Christmas eve and Christmas day. The pastor who still has not seen his wife shared his story. His

Just received an e-mail this morning asking for help petitioning the president for helicopters to back up the peacekeepers recently deployed (and attacked, although they have no way to defend themselves or the innocent refugees they are trying to help). The main fault here lies with the Sudanese government that is repeatedly dragging their feet on addressing the problem. However, in my opinion,

This picture is such a good memory...Aunt Amy took us all to the Chicago planetarium one Saturday in May while Tom was teaching out of town. My first memory of this day is the fact that our boys were more interested in jumping off the steps than they were in all the exhibits....don't get me wrong, they loved learning....but they had overdosed just a bit on all there is to know about the universe

Today has been a beautiful day of reflecting for me. The tree (upstairs at least) is down...almost all signs of Christmas are packed away or on their way to being organized again. And honestly there was a huge sigh of relief to see the bare walls and open space in the living room. As I packed things away this week I began to wonder, what will happen between now and next Christmas....what stage

It was so, so special to see Nana & Gramps in Pennsylania this year. Nana went to so much effort, and through so much pain (traveling is really painful for her due to a hipbone that is deteriorating) to be with her beloved family. It was also extremely bittersweet for me as I had to leave early to try to quarantine our sick kids (that we thought had gotten better) from their young little cousins

Mama was so excited to let the grandkids eat at the "good table" this year. She has always loved setting a special table. I love having people over but the fascination with china and settings has not worn off on me yet (maybe a little...special days are definitely worthy of such effort).
