I know all you Southerners think we Yankees are crazy... ...and I would probably agree. Still, if we're gonna inhabit this tundra, we may as well make the most of it. Frozen extremities notwithstanding. So here's where we were: And here's who we are: A bunch of crazies from Minnesota, joining a bunch of other crazies from who knows … [Read more...]
3 Quick Takes
[Only three, 'cause that's all I got time for.] [Although I'm including a giveaway to make it worth your while.] - 1 - We're on our way to see the ice caves today! So much for that face of mine coming unthawed... - 2 - As we head into Lent next, I'm discerning my use of time online. Specifically, how--and should--I be blogging? Because … [Read more...]
A Free Pre-Valentine’s Day Message
Do you love your husband? Then love your husband. Love your husband the way he needs to be loved. * * * I was at Walmart last night picking up treats for tomorrow. There were heart-covered vases, heart-bearing teddy bears, and enormous heart-shaped boxes of candy. (My personal "favorite" was one that had the picture of a cartoon bikini-ed … [Read more...]
Boxed In
This post is dedicated to everyone who's feeling boxed in by life: the fed-up, the lonely, the huddled, the cold. The temperature is {minus} ten degrees right now.

On the 12th Day of Christmas…
...someone's decided that he's quite enough celebrating, thankyouverymuch. That would be a white chocolate-dipped pretzel, by the way. Minus most the chocolate. Little does this kid know that we're still celebrating! Indeed, we're having his very own godparents over tomorrow to celebrate...wait for it...his first birthday that was, like, … [Read more...]
Our Holy Family
A 5th Day of Christmas Recap I thought long and hard yesterday about what it means to be a "Holy Family." And then I thought about my own crazy crew... And about our family get-togethers, both in North Dakota and down here... And about how none of us is perfect and yet, we are all of us loved... Will those big baby blues get him a sugar … [Read more...]

Then and Now: a Brief Birthday Retrospective
Then: And now: Francis is one year old today! (He was born on 12/20/2012 which is kind of cool if you think about it.) We celebrated by attending Joe's Junior Play--a one-act drama called "Noah and the Flood." (Joe played Noah. Can you tell?) "What the heck?" Francis appears to be thinking. "What's this...stuff on my brother's … [Read more...]
