Before I go on to blog about other things, I must post the Easter pics. My friend Chandra brought her camera to church to catch these cuties. She is a fabulous photographer, and I love letting her practice on my kids. I'm so magnanimous that way. Ha! ...

There is nothing so simultaneously soothing and invigorating as taking a walk. Ellis had school again today, for the first time since last Tuesday. It's snowing out, but only about an inch or so. Not feet. I forgot to send along something he needed, so ...

Oh my, I really failed at the last two days of December Photo Project. Well, that's what happens when you're Santa Mom. So, before the end of the year, the last two days of DPP. It says "To Poppy, From Ellis" (for the uninitiated). Ellis ...

We all have them. The ornaments we made in school when we were little kids. I think mine was made of pipe cleaners and beads; it was supposed to be a wreath. Ellis came home with probably the best school ornament ever. The ILY glove--a little ...

I seem to be posting two by two lately. It's been a rough week. Hard to actually get to my computer. And posting blog entries is the one thing I haven't figured out how to do from my iPhone yet. That and cook dinner. I just can't seem to find the "cook ...

Happy Solstice!!! The shortest day of the year. Welcome Winter! I love celebrating the season's changes. God is faithful in ordering the seasons. Yesterday we went over to Whole Foods to pick up a few things. The boys wanted a snack, so when we were ...

Eek I'm getting a little behind here. Well, the snow finally stopped on Sunday morning. We were so snowed that the morning service at our church was cancelled. So they bumped the evening service up an hour and then we were able to have our Christmas ...

I was happy to see this yellow bus pull up yesterday. It meant that we were spared a very cold morning walk, and that Marlowe and I got to spend a little extra time in our jammies. And after this past week, we needed it! And Ellis this it's ...

I got a little help from my mom today and holed up to work on Handmade Holidays. So lots of creating in my neck of the woods, but nothing I can share yet. I'm sharing Marlowe's creativity from yesterday. I had Ellis and Paints and Handmade ...

Ellis had his winter program at school yesterday. Each class did a presentation based on the universal theme "things that move." One class had a "wheels on the bus" thing, another "how animals move", and Ellis's class, well, they "got down, ...

I sure am glad I ventured forth to get the boys new coats on Thursday, because our walk to school on Friday was COLD!! When we got home from school in the afternoon, I brought chairs to sit around my kitchen table and made hot cocoa for Ellis ...

So today I had an unavoidable trip to the mall. The coat I had ordered Ellis online came yesterday, and it was too small. The weather is taking a turn for the very cold, and I couldn't face walking him to school in the morning just wearing his ...

I hadn't intended to use this for today's DPP, but coming up dry in other respects. I just love this picture so much. I was addressing Christmas cards at the dining room table, and Ellis was just drawing. He made all these faces and told me ...
