Delight yourself in the Lord

Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Psalm 37:4-6
I bought Genevieve some of the Seeds Family Worship cds and they are [...]

Potato Peeling Broth

I’m sick. John has been sick for the past 2 weeks, but it never occurred to me that he might so generously pass that illness onto me. But alas, he has. It started out small but yesterday and today this cold has hit me hard.
So today I finally started fighting back. I swallowed some garlic [...]

Roast Chicken

I love Ina Garten. 
I really do. I love watching her cook. I love watching her entertain. And I have absolutely loved every recipe of hers that I have tried. Hearing about celebrities breaking up is so commonplace these days, but I have to say that if I ever found out that Ina and Jeffrey had called [...]

This picture was taken when Genevieve had just turned a year old. I just saw it saved on the desktop here and I had to post it. Isn’t it precious? I just love her perfect technique and how serious she looks! We used this for the Music Academy Christmas card this year. It just seemed [...]

So what have we been doing to enjoy this nice weather? We’ve gone to the park…

And to the aquarium:
 
We got to see some animals up close and we watched a walrus eat his lunch.

So Cute!

Why is Genevieve sitting so still and with such a big smile? Because she is looking at herself in the mirror! She just couldn’t get enough of seeing her reflection in her little turban.
I understand why- I can’t stop looking at her either!

We’re Walking!

We have been on many walks with Genevieve and so far they have consisted of us pushing her in her stroller or carrying her in the Bjorn or the sling. Well, today that all changed. Genevieve went for her very first walk… in which she did the walking!
I had been dreaming about the heat wave [...]

Girl with a Pearl Earring

I recently read the book Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier.  I had been reading a lot of nonfiction lately and was really looking forward to immersing myself into a good novel. That is just what I was able to do with this book- although I must say that it ended a [...]

Genevieve’s First Award!

Thursday was the last day of the fall session at the Little Gym. So, Daddy, Genevieve’s two grandpas and one grandma came along to class with us to see Genevieve’s progress! Of course Genevieve loved to show off!

John video taped almost the entire class- I think he was a proud daddy! For the group activity [...]
