It is amazing what a nice hot shower can do for the start of your day!
After what feels like an ETERNITY of dealing with a problematic hot water heater, Kent and I BOTH took LONG, HOT showers this morning with water to spare!!! My skin didn’t know what to think when it felt hot water again, and I actually had to [...]

To everyone who contributed to the “Baby Shower in a Box” that arrived on our doorstep this week, thank you! We are sad you couldn’t be here in person, but through this video we hope you can catch a glimpse of our amazement, laughter, joy, and tears.
Our New Wheels

Our family has finally gotten its new set of wheels! Whaaa-hoo!!!
After much debate and deliberation on my part (and my husband’s loving pressure to actually pick one) we have a new ride for Hannah, “Thumper”, and groceries. We picked it up a few weeks ago when Kent’s parents were here with a car, and it [...]
Sleepless in Scotland

It is now 5am, and I have been awake for several hours now thanks to a combination of: seasonal insomnia, a CRAPPY mattress, sunsets at 11 pm and sunrises (which also include serenades from the seagulls) at 3:15, and all that comes with being 34 weeks pregnant (4 trips to the bathroom, restless legs, and [...]
8th Year Anniversary
Posted in Uncategorized on June 16, 2008 | 3 Comments »
June 10 was our 8th anniversary.
I will never forget the message at our wedding (that our dear friend Matt Heard gave) about seeing our marriage as a dance, and the importance of continuing to dance even when things may get rough, tiring, or sloppy.
It has been quite a dance…these last 8 years. At times it feels as if [...]
Hannah’s Big-Girl Bike

We have traded in the trike for a big-girl bike! A fellow PhD student and his wife were wanting to get rid of a few things before their move back to the States, and when I heard about this bike I couldn’t resist. 5 pounds for a little bike and several great kids books is [...]
32 weeks…

Just thought you might want to see my ever-growing “bump”, which feels more like a mountain at this point! Baby and I are both doing well, and I am enjoying being pregnant (although a good night’s sleep would be nice…)
August 2 will be here before we know it! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, we [...]
Catch-Up

Forgive the several weeks that have passed since my last post… I am starting to get harassment emails and calls from friends and loved ones who are ready for some new material!
So much to say, share, and show, but knowing where to actually start is crippling me… Call it “Blogger’s Block” if you will. So all [...]
Kilconquhar Retreat

There is something about packing up the car, leaving the city and getting away for a few days for a little R&R. We were blessed to be able to do that twice this spring, once with my parents when we went to the Antonine Wall Cottage for 3 nights, and then again with Kent’s parents when we [...]
