I’m getting ready to shut down my computer and head home. There’s power, but no internet back home. So I’ll be blind to the world when I get home. I’ll be forced to do things like clean my room, vacuum and scrub the floors (Zoe’s a crawling machine now growing elephant skin knees), and help [...]

Seth is six! He had a fun day… He ate McDonald’s for lunch (yours truly had to actually get out of the car and go into Walmart to get it since they tore down the stand alone building and are building another one… we never go to McD’s so he was stoked); had Ninja Turtles [...]

I have an email that I sent to Josh’s parents during the first month of living here (which was 2 years ago) and have decided to share it with y’all. I read it to the kids last year in December and they were rolling with laughter. So it inspired me to read it to them [...]

Seth is learning a lot in kindergarten. He is reading and writing more and more everyday. He loves to draw pictures and spend time at the homework table on his own when inspiration hits. He always wants a new spiral notebook when we go to the store. And he always likes getting new drawing tools [...]
