He Knows Who He Is

Yelled, upon hearing the suggestion that perhaps he was too loud for Panera this morning,
I isn’t a noisy fellow; I’m ASHER!

Blessings on All Sides

You can’t really pick your neighbors, can you? Even if you could, life happens, and they can pick up and move in a matter of moments. We have been blessed with generous neighbors on both sides, and we’re feeling really grateful.
Last week, our neighbor to the west gave us a snowblower. It needs work, and [...]

Tender Heart

Asher has a tender heart, and his lip is quick to quiver when he’s been reprimanded or upset in some way. After a particularly teary moment, Jason asked, “Do you have a tender heart, Buddy?” To which Asher immediately replied, enunciating every word,
I got Daddy’s big heart.
And then my heart swelled to twice its size. [...]

Advent Snapshots

My pretty girls this morning before their Christmas program at church (sorry, focus is off):

And I just love this little guy:

It’s December!

I could have my baby this month! Or next. Whatever. January would be nice, because it feels less busy than Advent, but we’ll take healthy any time!
According to the forecast, this is one of the last nice days for a while. High of 47 and sunny this afternoon. It’s gorgeous. It will be wet and [...]

32 Weeks, 6 Days; Also, Misc.

It’s gray and wet outside. Also, cold. And still hunting season. I need a nice, refreshing walk to lift my mood, but looks like it won’t happen today…

Related to hunting season: I start hearing guns go off (mostly target practice) in early- to mid-October. It gets more frequent until 11/15, opening day. Then I count [...]

Misc.-y

It’s a cloudy, cool day. But the weekend was gorgeous! It was like the summer we never had…

Still haven’t fixed my Links page. It’s really driving me nuts. And it’s difficult to get help via WordPress, though I’ve gotten some. Still, it’s not fixed. I’m very frustrated over it.
We are still getting about 8 eggs [...]

He’s TWO!

Okay, someone agree with me that it’s INSANE that Asher is two today. Anyone? Because I can hardly believe it.
Here’s a link to his birth story. I just re-read it and got teary eyed. Can’t wait to do it again in a couple of short months! I think mothers feel differently on birthdays than other [...]

Randomness

Wherein I type as my little listy brain desires.

We have lived here over a year now. Whenever I get discouraged by the ups and downs of our first big garden, I remember meals like last night: herb roasted chicken, spaghetti squash, roasted sweet potatoes, baechu kimchi, radish kimchi…all grown on our farm…in addition to rice, [...]

Just Because

Sometimes I like to make bullet points out of the things on my mind. Lucky you!

I brought out the roasted barley tea teapot today. See, my mom always makes hers in this pretty (and enormous) stainless steel teapot. It doesn’t whistle, so you have to watch it. But it holds a lot of tea, and [...]
