We just love the tradition of palm branches on Palm Sunday. The kids look forward to waving them and yelling “Hosanna!” I got this adorable picture of my two after church this week. It is sad to look back and remember that the same people who once yelled “Hosanna” turned, just a week later, intoContinue reading “Palm Sunday”

Tonight during dinner, we were thrilled to see a world of white outside our cozy house. It hailed and then snowed! We went outside and got a plateful of hail to look at it, touch it, taste it, and make predictions about what it would do once inside our house. Then we went outside againContinue reading “Spring Snow”

Look who got to hold one… until she fell asleep. 🙂 JT got to hold her too… but I couldn’t back up any more for this photo! Little farmersContinue reading “Spring at the Farm”

I listened to a Grammar Girl podcast on this years ago. Anyway. Tonight was Dads Night at preschool. Jim left work early to be homeContinue reading “Dads Night”

Sunday morning, as we were enjoying a nice family breakfast, it looked like sunshine outside. Jim said, “It’s too bad we can’t ski today.” And then I said, “Um, why couldn’t we ski today?” We had plenty of time before we left for church to get organized, so we kicked it into gear: dry suits,Continue reading “Spring Skiing”

Tic-tac-toe with Grandpa Love this one! All those blondies… Getting serious about sprinkles Reading Violet the Pilot – our new fav –Continue reading “Birfday Weekend”
