My Lasik Experience

2008-07-18T19:32:19Z

So yes. After considering it for the last 6 years, I finally went in and had my Lasik surgery yesterday. I would have written yesterday, but my eyes weren't up to focusing at short distances. Turing the ringer back on after turning it off durin...

Our Weekend

2008-07-14T22:29:26Z

On Sunday we headed out after church and lunch and tried out some local hiking trails. We ended up stopping on the sledding trail we were on in winter. It was so beautiful. The entire hillside was covered with wildflowers, lupines, daisies an...

Summertime

2008-07-11T20:52:59Z

I just got back from VA after dropping off my oldest for a week with her grandparents. After a call or two over the last couple days she does not appear homesick at all and is having a fabulous time. We got back Wednesday and have been enjoying...

After the Mole

2008-06-27T19:41:45Z

At last, we have a trap and David and I watched the Video "How To Get Your Mole" -- They demonstrated how to set all the major model traps and showed fresh caught moles. Very furry, BTW. I had read earlier they were the size of chipmunks, bu...

Eye treatment

2008-06-19T22:33:47Z

So I finally went in and had a consulting appointment for Lasik. I'd been putting it off for the last couple of years after being done with the pregnancy/breastfeeding thing. Both my parents and my sister-in-law have done it and had no trouble...

Berry Yummy?

2008-06-17T04:20:39Z

When we moved into the house we got, in the bargain, a few rows of various cane fruits; namely thornless blackberries and raspberries, though we bought it at the very end of the season so we didn't actually see much of the fruit. So back in the ...

Emergency Room

2008-05-23T16:52:29Z

Had our first *real* emergency room visit the other night. (I'm not counting the one where dear little son had stuffed about five peas up his nose) Guess who? -- my four year old. She had been running in a portable at church, slipped and ba...

Sweet project and StickK.com

2008-05-09T05:20:50Z

I take the younger two kids to pre-school library storytime on Mondays, and this last time they had a really neat project that can be done by the younger crowd. You need: a sugar cookie on a stick (stick not necessary, but it is cute), a tab...

Deja Vu

2008-05-05T19:16:55Z

The other day we decided last minute to attend the school play at Benjamin's school. The play's title was completely unfamiliar and I wasn't expecting much, though it being a Christian school I knew it would be appropriate for children, however ...

Got our tax refund

2008-05-04T02:48:32Z

Having a nice weekend here. Benjamin did his jog-a-thon fund raiser at school, and I even joined in for several of the laps, as did Rose. In her dress shoes and velour dress she ran the whole time with the kindergartners, then proceeded to run...
