Subtitled: Fun with a camera on a rainy afternoon, which turned into Daddy’s Father’s Day book. Let us introduce you to our cast of characters. These are our heroes — Super Scuba and Granny… And these are our villians — the evil Leaf Man with Sparkles, the attack giraffe… …and the “too-cute-for-words” dragon, who is … [Read more…]
A friend of mine sent me this video… I’ll have to update this post because I can’t remember right off-hand how she got this video (whether a friend actually attended this wedding or not), but I wanted y’all to see it. At first I was a bit put off by it — after all, a … [Read more…]
#1: Never, ever, ever let the baby walk away with the cell phone. I know, this should be a no-brainer, but somehow I forgot this simple rule and now… well… I seem to be completely phone-less.

It is taken from an ancient homily for Holy Saturday: Today a great silence reigns on earth, a great silence and a great stillness. A great silence because the King … [Read more…]
I have been wrestling with how on earth I was going to be able to tell this story. I’m afraid it’s going to take a lot of rambling, but if you’re willing to follow along, I hope it will be worth it in the end. All of my adult life I have struggled with fear … [Read more…]
