I need to do a comprehensive Christmas post, but that involves uploading videos and resizing pictures and writing witty and creative content – none of which I am willing to do right now. So, in the meantime, I present to you my two most favorite piano students performing their Christmas songs. Enjoy! Note: The camera… Continue reading Sounds of the Season

A Dickens of a Time
‘Twas “A Dickens of a Christmas” and all through the town, Visitors were coming – from miles around. The streets were bedecked with holiday cheer, Knowing that Christmastime soon would be here. We bundled up cozy, and soon headed down To the Christmas celebration in the neighboring town. We entered the square through a cheery… Continue reading A Dickens of a Time
My Christmas Letter
Dear Santa, I’ve been a good mom all year. I’ve fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor’s office more than my doctor and sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out over… Continue reading My Christmas Letter
Picture Perfect!
It’s a holiday tradition at our house that we take our children for Christmas portraits. That doesn’t sound so unusual until you realize that their birthdays come less than a month after Christmas…and they get portraits then, too. It doesn’t make sense to Matt, either, but in my mind there’s a perfectly logical reason. I’m… Continue reading Picture Perfect!
An Architectural Masterpiece
There’s a saying that goes something along the lines of, “If you do something three times, it becomes a habit.” Well, apparently in our family, doing something twice makes it a “tradition.” Therefore, I bring you the Great Gingerbread-House-Building of 2008 in all it’s blog-worthy glory. Now, before you get all impressed and start the… Continue reading An Architectural Masterpiece
Waitin’ for The Big Guy
One of the greatest things about living in Fairview is the way we’re “Keeping it Country”: quiet, close-knit neighborhoods; glimpses of wildlife including bobcats, coyotes, hawks, falcons, rabbits and armadillos; dark sky ordinances to allow the night sky to shine in all its celestial glory; two-lane highways for easy country cruisin’; and a GREAT BIG… Continue reading Waitin’ for The Big Guy
Oops – she’s a Daisy!
As a child, I often dreamed of being a Girl Scout. We’d walk into the Sears & Roebuck Department Store and I’d see the mannequins dressed as a Girl Scout and a Brownie, and instantly I’d be filled with desire. The desire to be that girl…the one in the little brown skirt with the brown-and-white… Continue reading Oops – she’s a Daisy!
Goodness, Gracious, Great Gobbler Goodies!
This weekend is the annual Pack 303 Family Campout at Erwin Park. We always try to go once the weather is cooler. I think we achieved that. With an overnight low predicted to be in the upper 30’s, I’d say it’s cooled down just a bit. I’m still trying to be excited about sleeping outside… Continue reading Goodness, Gracious, Great Gobbler Goodies!
Onward and Upward
Back in August, I posted about signing the kids up for soccer this fall and how Crisana was convinced she was going to play in pink cleats. Here it is, now November, with only two games left in the season, and I have yet to post a single picture or game description. And what’s worse,… Continue reading Onward and Upward
“The Dog Ate My Homework”: New and Improved!
There is a story in Edwards family lore that is often repeated at family gatherings and special events. Poor Dan, he will never be allowed to forget this, because, well….it’s just so darling. He was quite young at the time, and was in trouble for some thing he had done. My parents asked him quite… Continue reading “The Dog Ate My Homework”: New and Improved!
