Yesterday the weather was cold but sunny so Miles and I used the opportunity to walk to Wylies school to pick him up. The boys have been cooped up in doors way too much lately and any chance I have to get them outside in the fresh air, using their little active muscles I try to take advantage of. On our walk home Wylie asked me "why did Picasso paint instead of taking pictures?" As I answered (as ... View Post
Prize Movie
Well we did it, Sunday after church and some napping, we battled long and hard and finally we reclaimed our house and got it into fairly presentable shape! Nathan tackled our room,I tackled my Studio and the dining room, and the boys worked on their room and their things in the living room.

Wylie is already planning his 7th Birthday Party Battle Re-Enactment. It's still 7 months away. Also today they had a read-a-thon at his school. He took a book he received for Christmas on the RW that weighs as much as ... View Post
Human Beings not Human Doings
My friend Amy is always coming up with great comebacks or observations. Recently while discussing some of our mutual frustrations with the way people think about how to "do church" she remarked something to the effect of "We are after all Human Beings, not Human Doings."
