Spring Seems to Have More Than Sprung

by Alison on March 31, 2010

I’m no fan of winter, but a Minnesota March with no snow is simply unheard of.  It seems unnatural. 
I find myself hesitating to wash and pack away the heavy winter coats.  I’ve done it before, washed through everything after a week in the 50’s and sneaking up into the 60’s, only to face the following week’s [...]

A Video Diversion

by Alison on March 26, 2010

In an effort to put something, anything, in this space while I keep working out some things behind the secenes- I present a video I took last night of our 3 oldest playing their violins together.

And then they got a little goofy…

Which we encourage, because a merry heart really does doeth good like a medicine…!

Ok, Here We Go

by Alison on March 24, 2010

It’s not perfect yet- I miss my header.  I know there’s a way to get it up here on Wordpress.  I just don’t know how, and Wordpress doesn’t exactly make it easy for a gal.  I can post again though, and that will have to be an adequate trade-off for the time being.
The times, they [...]

Another Blogger Blogger Moves to Wordpress

by Alison on March 17, 2010

It was going to happen eventually… I heard rumors of blogger’s plans to pull the plug on ftp publishing a few weeks back, but I hadn’t received any kind of notice until I was directed to this post, via a link that showed up on my dashboard a couple weeks ago.  I was planning on [...]

A Nice Time for a Break

by Alison on March 11, 2010

It seems that our web server had some sort of brain freeze. Mr. Extraordinary has been running on nearly empty for weeks with too much work and too little sleep, so it may take another day or two until we get it all figured out.

The children and I have been busy as well, it [...]

302. a teenager who sees the sin and brokenness in our society in the daily headiness, and who understands the [...]

Tissue Paper Flowers- Think Spring!

by Alison on March 5, 2010

It’s time to think spring! With temps climbing up around 40 degrees (yes, that’s warm up here), and more minutes of sunlight every day, it’s finally time to take down the snowflakes, the snowmen, the scenes of winter wonderland, and even the tiny sweaters that speak the language of ice and snow. It’s time to [...]

O is for observant, she has a keen and discerning way of discovering the world around her and she finds delight in [...]

Multitude Monday 291-300

by Alison on March 1, 2010

291. children who color so many darling pictures that we don’t have enough room on the walls to display them and they need special folders to store the archives…
292. a teenager who volunteered to stay home with a sick toddler (not too sick, but enough to not bring out to play with friends) and insisted [...]
