Snowy spring

Last night it snowed maybe 4-5 inches. Doesn't sound like much, but when it's 17 degrees, that can lead to some dicey ice. And so, Scott got the day off work!




Hopefully, if all goes well (please!), the last two wainscoting boards will go up in the next hour.

Adrianna enjoyed the extra time we had at home this morning. She likes to give what she calls "shows", having Mom and Dad sit and watch her do something. Today, she ventured into the world of writing on her white board for her show. I was pretty impressed that she was writing actual letters without any direction. I usually say, "Write a line down and then a hump to make the letter N," but not so this time! Our favorite word that she made up was "Arly." I told her it would make a pretty good stuffed animal name. :)

Looks like you guys had a good snow day. Though you got one with one 4-5 inches. I think they need to work on that. It too us 15 inches the same day to get a snow day. ;)

Driving on

Image
After eleven years and 127,000 miles, Scott's Saturn has driven on.  That amazing little economical Saturn saw us through life in the college dorms, life in married student housing, our first apartment, our first home, our first relocation, and the addition of our two kids.   We're happy to say it ended up in good hands, with my cousin, Angei, and her husband, Adam.  We had a wonderful time visiting with them for a speedy 12 hours, before they needed to drive it on to its new home.  We even got to show them some small town fun at our annual Christmas parade. Thank you for the loyal service, Saturn.

Meet Abel!

Image
We are praising God this morning!  After two unsuccessful court dates, we passed court in Ethiopia today! And what verse should I read this morning, but Psalm 34:3... "Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together."    (When I read it, I was hoping beyond hope that I would be able to post it on here after we passed court!) Now we are finally allowed to introduce our son to you!  His name is Abel (which means "breath").  We love his name and are so excited to raise our son in the legacy of the Biblical Abel, a faithful and righteous man, and the first prophet (Luke 11:46-51). These are the pictures I have been longing to share.  The first is the referral picture -- the first glimpse we got of our little boy. Here are the pictures we took of us with Abel's picture, which we put together on a ring to send to him.  (We're hoping he'll get to see those now that we have passed court!) The following are ones that families trav...

Teaching supplies

Image
I have an inkling that teaching supplies do not spark a wide-eyed wonder in most of the readers of this blog.  I also have a feeling that most people would wonder why I "wasted" my time, staying up until 1:00 am on Friday night and working another three hours on Saturday morning to reorganize the aforementioned supplies. Well, teaching supplies do spark wide-eyed wonder in me -- always have.  And over the years that my supplies have been in my garage, they have gone through times where they have become very hard to reach -- through the layer of lawn mowers, ladders, strollers, spare chairs, and so forth.  The whole reason I have these supplies (and have added to them from garage sale finds over the years) is to use with my children and with children whom I teach.  Having all these goodies available while teaching Adrianna and her friends preschool over the last two years has been invaluable.   But it reached the point with my supplies where that lay...
