Happy Easter and Breslin's New Buddy!



Happy Easter, everyone! It's Breslin's first "real" holiday. Colby and I made biting comments about all of the ridiculous people who bought Easter baskets for babies...after all, they don't know what's going on, so why should they get an Easter basket? Well, we finally caved and went shopping for Breslin's Easter basket on Saturday afternoon. Breslin got a couple of onesies, a Baby Einstein CD, some wrist wrattles, and a bunch of Easter Eggs filled with nickels. Alaina got a substantial number of Reese's peanut butter eggs and Colby stocked up on Starburst jelly beans. Not a bad trip, all in all. We (meaning Alaina) even colored Easter eggs and wrote the letters of Breslin's name on each egg. It truly bordered on ridiculous, but it was fun. Breslin got a cool new outfit and posed for a picture with Dad. After all of the Easter excitement, he took a three hour nap and has now decided that he is officially "Eastered out", until next year anyway.A big congratulations goes out to our buddies Brian and April Montague, who after a very successful move into their beautiful new house, finally adopted their long-sought golden retriever puppy, Bella. Bella is a future therapy dog, so it is important for her to have good manners around all kinds of people and other dogs. The initial meeting was quite exciting for both parties.



Happy Easter, everyone! We love you!

Day 162 -- "Showing Us the Way"

Image
One of my favorite things about the spring is the baccalaureate celebration that takes place the week before graduation.  I love the chance to see my seniors in their caps and gowns and to praise God for their arrival to the finish line.  For every year since I can remember, I've listened to Western's Select Choir perform the song "Showing Us the Way" by Michael V. Ficocelli.  When I was a senior, I even got to sing it at my own baccalaureate.  That year, and every year since I have taught at Western, I get choked up listening to the perfectly fitting lyrics of this song.  Tonight, on a perfect evening at the Cascades Falls, tears ran down my face as I watched the seniors I taught sing the words of this song to their classmates, parents, teachers, and friends.  I smiled and cried a little more as I realized that someday there's a good chance I'll be watching my own kids sing it at their baccalaureate. I had to share it with you.  This isn't Western's

We Dance...and We Sing...When We Play the Drum!

Let it be known that my son gets his money's worth out of his toys. Or, in this case, someone else's money's worth. Whatever. You know what I mean. The toys that he likes, he really, really likes. He uses them a lot for a long time. This particular toy is a drum that was given to him by our friends, The Tappans, at his FIRST birthday party. Needless to say, tonight he was REALLY enjoying his gift.

Day 80 -- Calvin and Hobbes

Image
When I was in junior high and high school, I used to read the anthologies of several comic strips, including Garfield, Fox Trot, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes.  I remember reading them by the light of my bedside lamp, trying to stifle my giggles so that my parents wouldn't come bust me for staying up too late reading (the horror!). Calvin and Hobbes, especially, resonated with my sense of humor.  I found the strip simultaneously witty, funny, thought-provoking and perceptive.  I collected all of the anthologies, but somewhere between then and now, I either lost them or gave them away.  I told my husband about my tendency to read them from cover to cover, and how I was sad that I no longer had them.  Not too surprisingly, for Christmas, I received The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book from Santa. I have been slowly working my way through the book, and tonight I was reminded of Calvin's finicky eating habits and of his gift for creating macabre snowman art.  I w
