::windows into our lives::


::listening::
the ghetto:  donny hathaway
a mighty fortress:  christy nockels

::eating::
stuffed shells
homemade applesauce
espresso chip ice cream

::reading::
a lion to guard us
the house at pooh corner
star wars: jedi apprentice
the shaping of a christian family

::planning::
the official finale of our garden with a layer of fertilizer (aka "manure")
costumes for the murder mystery we're in this weekend
a new hair cut (this? or maybe this?... not sure yet)

::wanting::
a return to a regular running routine
chore cards printed out
to get the front porch pressure-washed

::watching::
kipper the dog
babies

  1. 1. We're almost done with A Lion to Guard Us. Great book!
    2. I LOVE LOVE the second hair cut!!! So cute and fun! (You'll look amazing with either choice though!)
    3. Just told my sister we should run the 5k, the Turtle Trot, next summer. I really need to start exercising. NOW, if I'll actually do it is another story?!?!
    4.MISS YOU ALL.
    5.I got your message. I'll try and call you soon!

  2. WHAT!? I love your hair the way it is right now! It looks great.
    But if you must chop, I vote for the second one.
    AA Milne was a genius.
    Now We Are Six is one of my all-time faves, but
    only Colby has read it...what a shame.
    I better get on that.
    :~)

  4. ooooh! Second as well! You could pull that one off amazingly. Is the color up for debate too? One is dark. One blonde.

  5. Kipper the dog is great.
    Power washing the house has been my top priority for, oh, 2 years now. It is a disgusting array of cobwebs and dirt out there. Hubby just never seems to get to it; poor guy has to cram every "man" project into a couple of months each year. Somehow that one always gets replaced. I'm hoping for spring. 
    Ahhh...a running routine. That sounds delightful!

  6. Just realized that my 6 week visit is coming up next week and I wondered when you started the Couch to 5k program did you actually follow the instructions and guides they give you for starting? I guess what I'm asking is what did you do and how did you start? I just need to do something. I've lost 30 pounds since delivery but still have around 30+ to go...:(

  7. @michelleross - Uh... March?!?!  Many months after Claire's birth.  I'm afraid I am not quite so motivated as you.  In fact, just yesterday I proudly told Daniel, "I officially weigh the least I've weighed since before Aubrey was born!" only to immediately realize that most of the other recently-pregnant women I know have lost their baby weight in 3-12 weeks.  Bahahahaha on me!
