kaele has been bugging me for months to join InstaGram. i never have. but now you're on it so...
maybe i will.
it's summer here
i did a strange thing a few months ago: i bought my first cell phone. that's right, i had never owned a cell phone prior to february of this year. a total of about 12 people have the number, and i still get nervous that they will, you know, call me (i know i know, but i'm not a phone pe...
deb - can you believe he played for the high school team this year?! he had a blast...and i worried. he ended up having an amazing season -- you would never have guessed he'd had two recent brain surgeries. he inspired me with his determination and courage.
i'm glad to hear you went ahead with your surgery. i hope you're doing great.
walker... a happy new year
Every year, I tell myself and my kids this is gonna be our year. However, the last few years, although happy and blessed, have been kinda tough. This last year, as you know, has been challenging for Walker. Two brain surgeries in one year...well, that's not easy. But he's handled it all with ...
oooh...this post made me hungry.
my sister comes to KC + an unofficial restaurant guide
i forgot to post about my sister's visit to kansas city last month. (and the pictures of her are so classy and flattering!) ah, well, instead of a trip report, how about a short list? one which i shall cleverly entitle: favorite places to eat whenever, but especially when we have fam...
what a great photo -- especially of you! hot!
and, i see The Engineer's beard is back. crikey!
(k-in your case, "crikey" means "hot". unless c hates it. then it just means..."crikey!")
and the gang's all here
have a great weekend, everybody! ***
i love this post so much. it made me miss your kids. and you, of course.
i think our kids are here to teach us. yours are doing a good job of it.
kid portraits january 2012
Hiya. This post is for people who like to see regular photos of the children. I took these last month for my mother-in-law’s birthday. There are two specific events from the last two weeks that I want to remember. Event One: It finally snowed one day, and the middle child volunte...
a shout-out (for my mini pies) on my favorite blog?!
made my day. :)
ps-i made more pumpkin chiffon pies (regular size) today. i hope you did too.
the thing about pumpkin chiffon pie
the thing about pumpkin chiffon pie is that it's tradition. the thing about pumpkin chiffon pie is that if you use pre-made graham cracker crusts, it takes exactly the same amount of effort to make 4 pies as it does to make one. so always make the full recipe. the thing about pumpkin chiff...
it turned out...amazing. i knew it would. everyone should have a friend like you.
pre-baby bash for both parents-to-be: part 2
After sort of a wild week featuring the birth of one sister’s baby, the impending arrival of another sister’s baby, a nephew’s major surgery, and my own ill-timed health issues—I was really hoping this party would go off without a hitch. And almost without excepti...
i love those pictures. your kids are so delicious -- each one so different, spunky in their own way. your pictures really show that. totally made me smile too.
home educating series: our back-to-school photos
[third grade / kindergarten / 2 years old] pretty much making me smile this morning. have a great weekend! ***
oh, those pictures!
that first one gave my heart a squeeze. it's so... her. yum! i love that girl!
junior librarian birthday party
i'm kind of in love with how these pictures turned out, even though they are far from perfect from a technical standpoint. 8-year-old teeth/smiles/poses/models are classic, no? the eyeglasses are my favorite. they are actually sunglasses from the dollar store. (i punched out the lens...

c- the glass pitchers are by luminarc. i got a set of four, in different sizes, at (where else?) costco. love em.
nothing to eat
How is it that my kids can stand in front of the fridge for 5 whole minutes, then declare that there's "nothing to eat"? Really? Nothing? That was the verdict. Several times over. Apparently, the trips to Costco and Whole Foods that have become at least a part-time job for me, have been all fo...
dina, i got it at WinCo. we just got one near us. youll be happy to know they also carry the poo-lar bear: the sub-zero poopin hero. we got some of those too. (sigh)
getting ready
The countdown is on. Nine days 'til Christmas. This week we're getting gifts ready for the kids to deliver to their friends. (yup! someone is giving super dooper reindeer poopers. i ask you: what else would a 10-year-old give out?) Most of my shopping is done. My cards have been sent. My kids ...
the computer programmer shoes came before the full-time, all-purpose wingtips, sister! (could it have been before your time? you missed out!)
computer programmer shoes
When I was a kid, my dad wore brown suede shoes. He was a computer programmer at the time. I don't know what the official name of these shoes is (wallabees maybe?), but in my family, they've always been called Computer Programmer Shoes. Back in the day, I thought these shoes were terribly uncool...
