A wise person once said, “The best laid plans”… well, they don’t always work out. I had already planned to post this evening about David’s visit and the early 50th birthday party we held for him tonight. Everything was going along perfectly… …and then Crisana’s tooth fell out. I mean 50’s great and all, and… Continue reading Trumped!
Month: August 2008
And the award goes to…
Okay, so it’s not the Oscars. There aren’t discussions about who wore what and who came with who. There are no reporters hiding out at after-parties. But the day that the David L. Edwards Servant-Leader Award for Faculty Excellence in Spirit and Service is presented tops any award ceremony in our book, hands down. And… Continue reading And the award goes to…

A Change of Seasons
With the beginning of school, we look forward to the end of the hot, dry Texas summer and the cooler weather of fall. While fall in Texas doesn’t last very long (usually no more than 24 hours), the relief is always welcomed and enjoyed before we are ushered into winter’s chill. But this year, the… Continue reading A Change of Seasons

Their school supplies have been sitting in their rooms for nearly a month, neatly packed in big sturdy bags. They have… Continue reading Meet & Greet
We came. We saw. Yeah, we pretty much rocked.
Every so often, you find yourself involved in a project of creativity where the finished project actually somewhat resembles the vision you had when you started. And you stand back, revel in the glory of what you’ve created and think, How in the WORLD did THAT happen? This week is Meet the Teacher week for… Continue reading We came. We saw. Yeah, we pretty much rocked.
Today is the first day…
…of Phase Two! Yes, we survived our fourteen carb-free days. And though our hunger pangs and cravings did subside somewhat, we never did truly get out of the habit of asking, “The steak will be cooked in about 5 minutes – will the potatoes be ready?” or “Did you start cooking the rice before you… Continue reading Today is the first day…
