There are roosters and there are roosters. Roosters are a lot like men. Some are tall and some are short. Some are loud, others quiet. Many are bold, others meek. Some are colorful, some dull. Some protective, some just plain…chicken. Roosters can be adorable or aggressive. Some are fluffy, others are missing a few feathers. …
So the ‘fun’ didn’t really happen on a Friday, it happened on a Wednesday but whatever. I had to travel 50 miles to work several hours and I knew the day would be slow and drag on forevermore if I didn’t bring an activity for Addie and me. I decided we should paint so paint…
I spent the first half of Wednesday baking heart-shaped cookies for our homeschool group decorating party, which was also held at my house. We decorated and ate and had fun. Then my good friend Amanda helped me prune my fruit trees, It was the most stressful thing I think I’ve ever done. There are no…

Rachel will turn one month old next week and finally got some friends in her own species group. Mind you these are not permanent friends, they’ll go back to their own home in a few months, but she doesn’t seem to mind. One friend even looks a bit like her, only our Rachel is WAY…

A truly amazing process. I have a good friend who has done…

Rachel has rapidly gone from small, somewhat defenseless, calf to charging, milk-crazed manic. I had the pleasure of caring for her almost exclusively this week. My legs are bruised, my arms are sore and I ate dirt for breakfast Wednesday morning when, apparently, her bottle was insufficient. I guess by running to and butting me…
Disclaimer. I love my husband and am so happy he thinks of me often. A few weeks ago I mentioned I would like new towels. The navy towels I bought for us at a department store 7 years ago were disintegrating rapidly. They had served long and well yet featured holes and torn seams. “Time…
