I’ve not said much here lately. I’ve had a lot going on in my head. I think I needed a bit of time to catch my breath and think about a few things. I guess I’ve had a season of personal growth but I’m not sure how to put it all into words. My take [...]
These photos looks like we lived at the beach this year. That’s not far off the mark, actually.
The past two weekends we’ve been busy, busy, busy. And I’ve got the photos to prove it!
Space and Rocket Center
Some friends came to visit for the day and we played at Rocket City’s biggest attraction.
Halloween
This year Eli finally got “trick or treating” and Liza thought carrying her bag of candy was almost not worth the [...]
What crafter doesn’t want to hear these words from their children? Painting though is my least favorite because it involves water. Both kids really love to paint, so it’s always a special treat at our house. These are from this past week when it rained and rained and rained.
Yes, that’s paint all over Liza’s face.

There are not enough words to describe the awesomeness of my trip to Atlanta to see U2 and visit with friends. The show was full of awesome. A friend of a friend said that Bono was the best worship leader that she’d ever had and I’ll have to second that. I think the show was [...]
I started this Teresa Wentzler before Liza was born. I stopped to cross stitch something for Liza’s room and then just never picked this piece back up.

My childhood may have been filled with Asimov’s books and the spectacles of Star Wars and Star Trek, but I hadn’t given much thought to becoming an honest-to-goodness scientist. In high school, after [...]
Yes, I’ve been working on Etsy shop stuff but I’ve also been taking care of other things. How is that whenever I decide to embark on something kinda big the whole rest of my life decides to be busy and awesome and crazy and full at the same time?
The kids both have colds this [...]
Saturday night I had the privilege to see a house concert. Geof hosted Eric Peters at his condo clubhouse and the audience consisted of me and six other people. And Eric. Eric playing some really amazing music.
I don’t know if the concert would have been as amazing with any other singer. Would I have [...]
I am waiting in the funeral home foyer, listening to the grandfather clock across from me tick, tick, tick. I am standing with the other pallbearers. The clock’s big hand points to the phrase TEMPUS FUGIT.
I’ve been a pallbearer at three funerals now. When the time comes you lift the casket, marveling at how heavy [...]
