I snapped this picture yesterday while we were (obviously) at the park.Typical, Elisabeth sat close to me and played more by herself while the gangs of the other kids built (and destroyed) sand castles a few feet away. Before we left, she ran over and joined them and was awarded Best Sand Toy Cleaner-Upper by...Continue Reading
I’m so sorry you’ll have to miss the 1,000+ words I wrote about my hair. My blog broke and I have no record of the outstanding advice I had about doughnut buns and hot rollers. I’m guessing this is either a tragedy–or God telling me my hair isn’t that important.Continue Reading
We’ve talked about Sam and Elisabeth’s wedding around here before. But, more than the nuptials we celebrate constantly at our house, a marriage is a good analogy for what it means to be a twin.

Even the sweetest, most patient readers among you probably won’t read a couple thousand...Continue Reading

Writing about the Ten Commandments, and how they are boundaries show us how to love has been on my heart for a long time. Writing about how each commandment is a Love Rule proved to be interesting and challenging. Lots...Continue Reading
It was a rodeo weekend around here. And, while it may not have been my first rodeo, it was my first rodeo cook-off. Which doesn’t sound that significant because what’s a rodeo cook-off? A few old men grilling up some burgers? Maybe they’ve got some tents with homemade poster boards hung from them, saying “vote...Continue Reading
The Texas Country fans among you will recognize this post’s title as a lyric from the Jerry Jeff Walker song, “Manny Was A Maker of Hats.”“Manny was a maker of hats./ Manny was much more than that./ He was the kind of guy you and I would want for a friend./ He was a regular...Continue Reading
1. Elisabeth’s first tooth! That’s what’s missing! After all kinds of drama, and her NEXT ROW of teeth growing in and crowding her current teeth into a crooked mess, it’s out. Now we just have to convince her to pull the other four crowded teeth out. 2. When you look at the picture below, you’ll...Continue Reading
