Click the picture to take you to the wordle page. These are all the tags on our public photostream pictures over on flickr. hcbcnorthwest is our church, ravelry is a yarn-knitterly-crochet haven online, and daves collection are his hot sauces. The rest should be self explanitory.
I enjoyed an evening with other women at a friend’s house last night and by the time the evening was winding down, we were discussing various boys’ names. David and I have settled on a girl’s name but not on the boy’s name. We are the kind of people who would love to have the [...]
We have started emptying the boys’ bath water into buckets at night and then pouring the “greywater” on the mulch around the base of the trees and we are amazed at how about 5 gallons per night per tree is resulting in new growth all over both trees. I say trees, but they’re [...]
I just had my second prenatal visit with Roswitha at AABC. She did most of my check-ups for the last pregnancy and it was good to see her again. She did another quickie ultrasound since the last midwife did not take any measurements. My fundal height was only measuring 13 cm (normally [...]

Now, as James would say, “Wanna [...]
My mom and dad came down yesterday afternoon and surprised us with a new garage door opener (and a drill for David) for Father’s Day. David and my dad got to spend the rest of the day installing it in the garage (which was a virgin garage, never having had a garage door [...]
