Well, since we happen to be studying the middle ages, and since it happened to be on Friday night…  we all enjoyed the second episode of Warrior Challenge-Knights on a local PBS station… and soon afterwards my home was overrun with a band of little warrior knights!  Aren’t they the bravest (cutest) and most gallant [...]

by Alison on February 21, 2007

Well, praise the Lord!  Mercy’s RSV test was negative!  But she’s still trying to shake this cough and congestion.  The pediatrician thinks it’s just a bronchitis type of thing as her RSV was negative and her lungs sound clear and fine, but her upper respiratory tract is pretty ‘rattly’… you know how it is when [...]

New Banner for the Banner Impaired

by Alison on February 18, 2007

    For those who can’t see it- for some weird inexplicable reason… here’s the result of an hour or two on my lazy Saturday afternoon-

    I really want to get to the bottom of why it randomly doesn’t show up for some people… grrr… it makes no sense, it’s in my code…

Prayers Needed

by Alison on February 18, 2007

    Some dear friends of ours called yesterday to let us know that their 2 month old daughter tested positive for RSV.  She was doing okay for the time being, they took her home to watch her closely.  They ended up taking her to the ER a few hours later as she was retracting a [...]

by Alison on February 17, 2007

    I’ve been playing with color… and color scheme generators… and decided to go with a little bit of a nice and feminine pink for a while.  I’ll get to work on a new banner to match, stay tuned…

Snow Much Fun!

by Alison on February 16, 2007

    One of the things we managed to accomplished during all that ‘down’ time when the plagues moved through…

What fun… all you need is some boiling water and WAY TOO COLD OUTSIDE!
What do you do in Minnesota when the temperatures fall below zero and the wind-chill is down another 20 or 30 degrees?  Go [...]
