I cannot stop watching this video of this lawyer on a Zoom call. “I’m not a cat.†The look on the cat’s face seals it.
Playing at a couple parks
Oh, how we needed this beautiful afternoon outside. It was so restorative. First, we visited a park where the girls played on the playground and ran around the nearby field. Then, we tried to visit a different park but it was too busy with children that were not wearing masks, so we didn’t even get […]
Makeup
Adrianna has recently started wearing makeup, which means that Cate has wanted to do the same. I do let them use mine, for the time being. Cate came downstairs to show me a recent experiment: mascara on her eyebrows. She then washed it off and redid her eye-makeup (with Adrianna’s help.)
21 Years
For our 21st anniversary, we had a nice dinner in. Adrianna offered to make dinner for herself and the little girls and that she would watch them in the basement so that Greg and I could have some time to ourselves, but we decided that we would prefer a nice family dinner all together. So […]
Impossible Burger

Come Little Children
I’ve been enjoying Greg‘s latest recording project and thought you might, too. Here’s his [rock] arrangement of “Come Little Children.” (Inspired by Erutan)

Some were eBooks, some were physical copies, and many were audiobooks. Fiction: 28Non-fiction: 8 Some of my favorites were: The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the American Church’s Complicity […]
Drawing Birds
Bree and Cate have been taking a weekly class on Outschool that gives instructions on how to draw a different kind of bird each week. It’s been a lot of fun watching them draw and their finished art is so amazing.
Dachshund Koozie
I got to open one of my gifts early tonight. Cate made me a dachshund paper Koozie for my Diet Cokes.
