new books
February 28, 2008
Two books arrived in the mail this week, Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola & George Barna and Simply Christian by N. T. Wright. Buying select books is still a fairly new trend in our house - oh I love books. So excited about reading Pagan Christianity! Reading it encourages me ...
Ethnic Eclectic
February 27, 2008
In anticipation of my parent's visit next week during which my dad is going to paint our kitchen I've been doing renovation research. It all started last weekend when we were at the hotel Saturday night and I watched 2 hours of HGTV (very addicting tv). Afterwards I did a ...
Happy Birthday Laurent
February 26, 2008
Yesterday we celebrated Laurent's 7th birthday with a race car themed party. Laurent decorated the walls with large drawings of cars and sent racing car invitations. Daddy set up an xbox borrowed from friends to play Need for Speed, we put together Laurent's hot wheels track and raced little cars ...
Finding Normal
February 25, 2008

Banff Mountain Film Festival
February 13, 2008
Our family attended the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour last night at Merrill Auditorium in Portland. What a blast. The whole program was 3 hours long and we didn't get home until 11:30 but it was worth it. The films were beautiful and the people and geography they explored ...
Weekend Sledding
February 11, 2008
We went sledding this weekend with our good friends the McLeods and Russells. I'm fairly certain the adults had as much fun as the kids - maybe more.
February Lilac
February 11, 2008
I feel a bit like this lilac bush today - frozen in midwinter blah. We've gotten lots of snow these past few days and we haven't seen much of the sun. Just bright white snow and dull gray skies. Kind of sums up my spirit. But the buds on the ...
Professional Development
February 1, 2008
My Making Herbs Simple video arrived in the mail this week. I was fairly giddy as I finally had time in my week to watch it this afternoon. The kids learned with me how to find, identify, and dry basic herbs and how to prepare tinctures and poultices. I added ...
