This little boy is about the cutest little 3 year old name Michael Joseph that ever lived, will live, or lives now. I know, I am SLIGHTLY prejudice, but I can't help it!!! I love to come to hug him, kiss him, and see his smile light up.  His eyes have a light that shines and his smile is so sweet and precious. First I hug him, then he looks up at me, he wraps his arms around me, and says...

Note that this is part one, even though part two (when it comes) will before these photos in order... First don your best hat and shawl.  Sit on the ugliest green sheet you can find. Then dress in black and Christmas colors to play at a local tour of homes as background music.  Then play the "barnyard sounds" game until your family take it away. Start the advent calendar 5 days

The difference between management and leadershipManagers work to get their employees to do what they did yesterday, but a little faster and a little cheaper. Leaders, on the other hand, know where they'd like to go, but understand that they can't get there without their tribe, without giving those they lead the tools to make something happen. Managers want authority. Leaders take responsibility

For those of us who know us.... and wish they didn't... this is for you. This is compliments of Erin and Ryan.  For about 3 weeks everytime I came into the kitchen the letters on the fridge had been rearranged to bear a new message. As we are missing most of the letters and numbers the messages were somewhat choppy.  Example:  Ryan l0ves M0mny.   Except one "m" was made of a "3" turned

As the days grow shorter, colder, and the fire seems more cheery inside... we have come up with a lot of interesting past times!!!   We also enjoyed some sunny weather on Saturday.  But on Sunday, Monday, and most of today... the rain continues to come down.  So we went roller skating!!!  Well, just Michael.  He also discovered that your baseball helmet is the best thing for skating crashed.

Today while reading the blogs of our friends, I discovered that someone had posted the words to one of my favorite hymns.  We sing it a lot at Bible Study (which his father leads) and I always enjoy it.  (Maybe we could sing it this week.. hint, hint!)  Anyway, I always forget what it's called and a lot of the words.  I always tell myself "email the T. family and ask them for the words", but I

My motto from the Bible: “With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased witha thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”  8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and

I have a scar on the outside of my right pinky finger.  And that story is funny... but painful at the time. When I was 9 and Rachel was 7, we were playing in the basement of our old house.  We had gotten kind of silly... shocking I know... and were having a ton of fun.  Rachel picked up a pair of scissors and open and shut them at me!!!  I asked her to stop and she did and turned around.  I

Eyes. Not just the colors that they come in.  Although, the different shades of green, blue, and brown are lovely.  I'm green eyed, as are most of my family.  Two of them have brilliant blue eyes.  The others have a marbled look.  Not quite green and not quite blue. I've heard eyes called the window to a soul.  And that's quite true.  They express emotions.  Love, fear, caring, indifference.

Time flies.  Happy or sad, mournful or singing.  Time flies.  That is how God made it, but still at times I wish I could grab hold of a moment and savor it.  Drink it in for longer.  Smile and laugh just a little bit longer.  Laugh out loud til you can't laugh anymore.  Feel the sun on your face and the wind in your hair.  There are other moments that are so happy, I wish I could remember them

A childhood memory I have is playing at my grandfather's farm.  He lived on 100 acres (I think) and we would run through the fields, run through the woods, track deer, listen to turkeys, and catch fish.  Also on his property was a little house that he had sold and then bought back (my grandfather was anything if not interesting), so we could go down there and "live".  With running water in a

A Recipe for Preserving a Husband Be careful in your selection. Do not choose too young. When selected, give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use. Some wives insist upon keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly getting them into hot water. This may make them sour, hard, and sometimes bitter. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, warm, and tender and with kisses,

I want to be remembered as... Someone who laughed, but could cry with a friend. Someone who would willingly hug a lost and afraid soul Someone who smiled and still let a tear run down her cheek for a hurting person Someone who held babies and talked to the "little ones" Someone who loved unconditionally and gave it all. Someone who loved deeply and never ran out of love. Someone who

Didn't I just do this? Oh no, that was a talent. Is reading a talent or a hobby? Hmm. Oh well!Some hobbies I have are writing, filmmaking, web design, taking care of babies, and playing the violin.

A talent of mine.I read. I read a lot. This past year I set myself the goal of reading 100 books. I'm not to my one year mark and I am almost to 175 books. :) I REALLY like to read.I read everything! But here are some favorite authors: Donita K. Paul, Douglas Bond, Chuck Black, Jannete Oke, Jan Karon, and Mr. and Mrs. Castleberry.

I don't know if I have actually cried yet when I hear this song, but it brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me so much of April 27, 2011.Jesus draw me ever nearerAs I labor through the storm.You have called me to this passage,and I'll follow, though I'm worn.May this journey bring a blessing,May I rise on wings of faith;And at the end of my heart's testing,With Your likeness let me wake.Jesus

Well, that would pretty much be my mother!!! She is pretty much one of the greatest people I know!!!!But, since I said Mommy last time... I guess I should try someone new.I also admire Anna C. from our church. She reminds me of my mom in a lot of ways, she's a second generation homeschooler, she's the oldest of 8, and she acts like she's the big sister I never had. Happily married to the man

Uhh.... hmm.... well....Doing my math! No, not really!Seriously, I guess I have guilty pleasure when I find a great book and I skip all my afternoon jobs to finish it. Like playing violin, editing, doing the website, and cleaning.Fortunately that only happens rarely. Okay fine, it happens a lot!!!!

She lay on my bed today.  Curled against me as I read.  She scratched my feet and tickled them.  And I thought. She's seven years old.  A young lady.  An older girl.  Trapped between two worlds.  Is she older?  Or is she still a little girl. Her mind is maturing.  Handling words and sentences.  She can think through a problem.  Her body is maturing.  She can run like the wind and climb as high

Dear Siblings,Thank you all for being who you are and what you are. I love every moment you live, every smile you have, and every tear that rolls down your face. The 7 of you touch my heart in a way that few people understand. That is what being siblings is all about.I love when we talk so fast people don't know what we said, but we do. I love when we have private "sibling" jokes to laugh

The moment I knew that I had a second little brother. We had decided to keep it a secret until the kids were able to visit the hospital.  Daddy wasn't supposed to tell us when he got home.  He was on the phone when he walked in the door and the first thing he said was.  "I don't know what we'll name him."  What??? !!!  I had a second little brother. Note: Michael Joseph didn't get his name until

Wow!  This is a hard one to start out on.  Mainly because I love music and I love to sing. (Note: that doesn't mean I do it well... but I love to sing)  I also love to play songs on my violin.  Erin always tells me that I know the words to the hymns and songs and she knows the tune.  Sad, but true! So, here is my favorite SONG... because hymns are to hard to do.  How can you pick a favorite

In the midst of planning and recovering from the Film Festival,  I have to make sure that I take time to remember and jot down the memories that still come in our day to day life.  I have to make sure that I journal them so I can hang onto them. All of my siblings have called me "Gaga" as the grew up.  Don't ask me why.  I have not the faintest idea why.  Jessica to me sounds nothing like Gaga

21 Years of Love!!! Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Pardon me while I take a short break from Film Festival news and share with you a very funny thing from our family!!!! In our family we have 3 email address.. I have one for work and friends, Mommy has one and Daddy has one for work.   Pretty much we all share Mom's.   Erin has to send emails - to our violin teacher, to Mommy, to me, and to HERSELF! I have no idea why she sends herself

The Fellowship was sweet at the end of the Festival.  Getting the chance to spend time with 212 wonderful people was a wonderful experience!!! The following photos are just a taste of what we enjoyed on August 18th!  Some photos were taken by Bria C.  and some were taken by Rachel when she stole Bria's camera!

The first part of this huge event was setting up.  This involved my family driving to the church and home.  To the church and home.  To the church and home.  To the church... and you get the point. Setting up sound, chairs, tables, presentations, cameras, scripts, guest lists, movies, and a dozen other things is time consuming.... but we had lots of smiles! Precious Jamie Sarah!

Picture the sweet family gathered around the table.  All ten people are happily eating their supper.  In a lull in the conversation  (do we ever have a lull in the conversation?) the little gentleman in the corner raises his hand (okay fine, he demands a chance to talk). Michael: Who made the bread? Mommy: Emily did.  Michael: Emily, this bread is awesome.  Very good. He is so polite.  The

Change the fear to gladness Lord.  Make me see the blessings.  Help me to smile and lift the hearts around me. Help me to see your hand. As the stress turns to fear. Keep my eyes on you.  The day will pass do quickly. It'll be over in a heartbeat.  Keep my eyes on youAnd calm my heart oh God.  Change the fear to gladness Lord. Make me see the blessings.

I can't believe it, but it is true.  Today I saw that ERIN had posted on her blog what I had wanted to do on mine.  If you visit this page you can see that there are 3 days, 8 hours, 59 minutes, and 3 seconds until the big moment.   I love it when we plug in the computer and I turn on the slideshow.  I love to hear the music of Lead on Oh King Eternal coming through the microphones.  Call me

A very cute little masked cowboy attended the tea party with me yesterday.  He was hard to take a picture of, but I think I finally got him. Michael, you are a joy in our lives.  A precious gift from the Lord who knew our arms ached to hold another little gift.  Your fun loving spirit is a treasure to us!!

The birds are using potholders to pull worms out of the ground. The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. Hot water now comes out of both taps. You can make sun tea instantly. You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. The temperature drops below 95 F (35 C) and you feel a little chilly. You discover that it only takes 2 fingers to steer your

Fence building is a family affair. It is a family affair when you cut the neighbor's phone line. It is a family affair when you smile through the sweat trickling down your brow. It is a family affair when you smile at the end. Another project complete, by our family.  Through team work, hard work, and constant work. Keep up the good work guys!!!  And gals! :) Acting... courageous?
