Rings: A Memorial to My Dad
http://reflectings.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-memorial-to-my-dad.html
Growth rings: Where there are clear seasons, growth can occur in a discrete annual or seasonal pattern, leading to growth rings; these can usually be most clearly seen on the end of a log, but are also visible on the other surfaces. A Memorial to My Dad. However, while Mom and Dad were plunged into this life-changing trial of unending lurches, suffering, trudgery, loneliness, and blockages, I marveled at the new life- True Life- that they together and individually allowed to spring up in them. And fo...

Marigraph: January 2012
http://marigraph.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Pics from the Pile: January in Review. Last week, when I described to my husband how, some days, my life feels like a "nondescript pile of crumbs," he countered, "Well, at least it's not a pile of nondescript crumbs.". I hope the following fragments from my heap will add a descriptive spark to your day, dear reader. My second annual attempt at Rosca de reyes. One of my favorite moments was when the pastor carried H around to be blessed by each person. H sits up proudly.

Marigraph: November 2010
http://marigraph.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 15, 2010. It's time for a photo update. Some of these are already a month old. The other week NS and I got to go for a hike with sister and bro-in-law C&D on a local trail. It was our first time there; I was pleased as punch with the discovery. About halfway through, NS surprised me by asking to get out of the backpack and hiking on her own two feet the rest of the time. Posted by current typist. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Marigraph: August 2011
http://marigraph.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 17, 2011. Now that CP's back to work, the girls and I have gotten out for walks a couple of times. Here, N takes the stroller. Yesterday, though, she opted to walk the whole quarter mile to the playground. These days, there's no end to how she surprises me with her grown-up-ness. Posted by current typist. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Posted by current typist. Monday, August 1, 2011. Here's how we've survived the heat wave of the past few weeks. Shedding clothes and taking lots of baths:.

Marigraph: August 2012
http://marigraph.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Summer so far has been a bumpy ride, sometimes downright scratchy, but sweetened by camaraderie and tranquil vistas along the way. Recently we enjoyed a gathering of my maternal extended family. Part of the festivities took place at t he Farm- my mom's childhood home. N participated in her first water balloon toss and played like mad with her newly acquainted second cousins. Walking to Bible school at the little church up the road was a highlight for N.

Thursday, January 24, 2013. This week a friend invited me, N and H for an "Africa Activity Day"- part of a geography unit she and three of her children are studying at home. Another friend, who grew up in Kenya, joined us along with her two little ones. We examined maps and read a Maasai storybook. We passed around samples of major exports like cotton, dates, millet, and coffee. We made play dough animals and ground peanuts with a mortar and pestle. We tried on Maasai beads and clothing.

Marigraph: Ballet
http://marigraph.blogspot.com/2013/03/ballet.html
Monday, March 18, 2013. For some people, all it takes to become a ballerina is a couple of ballet books from the library, a hand-me-down tutu and sparkly pink shoes.or even just a pair of pink tights, too-tight church shoes, and a big sister to imitate.

Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Little H turned a big numero uno. Here she is, riding bike with big sister N, on the very spot where she was born:. Playing tea party on the front porch:. H in her favorite hand-me-down hat and standard summer outfit:. H's first birthday was a bit of a bummer; feeling miserable from a double ear infection, she just wasn't as much into opening presents as everyone else was:. She was a good sport, though, and tried out her first cousin R's handmade blanket right away:. By way of sig...
