I wrote this journal entry:


I rediscovered it while sorting through some boxes yesterday, and what laughing we have done while reading it!  The next journal entry, written by my Dad a couple of weeks later indicates that I had completed the 3rd set of book reports, for a total of 45 written book reports.  Not bad for a first grader!  (And this will totally confirm to my brothers and sisters that I was just born a nerd.)  I find it amusing that I could write “mosquito” and “giraffe” but thought that “bonus” word was spelled “bones.”  My seven year old daughter found it all especially funny.

It’s good to be alive.

A few days after coming home from Denver, my sister and her family joined us for a weekend at our house.  Except for attending church, where we had 14 children sitting between a set of parents on each end of a VERY LONG row (18 chairs, to be exact), all we did was play.   It was great.  It’s so satisfying to watch cousins run together, building friendships and making memories. It was the perfect recipe for a great weekend:  lots of down time for the kids to play  and a couple of late night chats for the adults.


I managed to take my camera with us on our little walk to the park.
















The weekend was as wonderful as it was fleeting.


Thanks for coming, guys!

I just love these faces.
