Very Good Friday

On Good Friday, in addition to going to church, I told the kids that we weren't going to watch tv, use the computer or have candy or other treats, as a sacrifice to help us remember that Jesus sacrificed His life for our sins. After church, we came home, ate lunch, and dyed Easter eggs. Then the snow began to fall, eventually accumulating 8 inches. The kids went out and played in it for while. Later they just played together, my 15 year old son wrestling with his 3, 4, and 7 year old siblings. They got out the cheap Dance Dance revolution game we got for Christmas and danced and laughed. Then we had a big family dinner. All in all, a lovely day. Thank you, Jesus.

Love

Today I took K, A, and M to the local Hands-On science center. One of the displays was 2 giant metal discs shaped like satellite dishes and placed about 100 feet apart. If you whispered into one, the person standing at the other one could hear you. I stood near A. while K. whispered to her. I asked her if she could hear him, and she said yes. "What did he say?" I asked. She replied, "He said, 'I love you, A." Tears came to my eyes. She whispered back to him, and I called over to him, "What did she say?" "She said 'I love you K."

On the couch, also in my pjs!

I know it's hard to imagine someone, so I am posting these pictures of me on the computer so you can imagine me sending you a message, posting on a message board, blogging, etc.

I have no idea why I'm frowning. The kids say I always look that way when I'm concentrating on the computer. Maybe I need my eyes checked?

Where you might find me
