happy 5th birthday to Caleb!
5 years ago our son was born. it seems so long ago, and yet it has gone by quickly.
he is such a big boy now, growing and changing quickly. as Michelle noted in our prayers for him this morning, even at a young age it seems that he has a heart for God, for which [...]
| a strange dream
I don’t often remember my dreams, but this is one I can’t forget. this is how I remember it, two days later:
it was something of a scene out of one of CS Lewis’s space trilogy books. it was dark out and I was swimming in a murky green sea, with little floating islands all around. [...]

speaking of: Selah is [...]

Caleb’s Christmas Present
I made a few Christmas presents this past fall but am only just now getting to think about posting them. I think I’ve got a good excuse though and she’s the cutest little baby ever. We are so enjoying Selah. I love just sitting and snuggling with this little one. I look at her and [...]
| Sweet Gifts
Here’s my snuggly baby girl wearing a hat made by my friend Christy, a sweet little sweater from my friend Linda and wrapped up in the blanket that Sara made for her. I love them all.
| Handmade Baby Gifts
On thanksgiving day I received my first gift for this new baby from my good friend Sara. She handknit this baby blanket, its simply beautiful. I love making gifts for people and realize how much I love receiving handmade gifts too! I know the love, thoughtfulness and time that goes into making them. Thanks Sara!
I received [...]
| They crack me up
Overheard this morning at breakfast and it just cracked me up:
C: “Alice, when you be a mama then you will like gluten free too.”
A: “Yeah!” “And take showers too!”
C: “Yeah, and sometimes daddys take showers.”
A: “Yeah and grandmas and pop-pops take showers too.”
Well they’ve got it all figured out don’t they? I couldn’t bring myself [...]
| Princess Cake
Alice will be 3 in a couple of weeks but we had a princess party for her 2 weekends ago just in case this baby comes early! We had all the little girls dress up as princesses and had a blast doing girly girly things. A good friend came and painted the girls nails and gave [...]

also, we’re playing Prater’s Mill this fall, which should be really cool. I’m looking to [...]
| show at Pasha
I’m very excited to be able to play my own songs for the first time tonight at our local coffeeshop’s grand opening celebration. I’ll have a report on how it goes soon!
| a little dormant
we’re thrilled to have a new baby in the house as of 2 months ago, but that’s put a bit of a damper on extra-curriculars like music stuff. but there are a few things to report/remember from the last couple months.
at our Christmas Eve service in church, I was able to do my “Shepherd’s Song” [...]
| I aint on the good list
here’s a santa-inspired song. I was up in the middle of the night with a head cold, and somehow the first line came to mind and stayed there until I got this down:
I aint on the good list – by Bob Wiegers – 12/1/2008 – tune: the usual campfire kinda thing
I aint on the good [...]
