Just Virginia: Strangers to Her
http://justvirginia1218.blogspot.com/2008/11/strangers-to-her.html
Monday, November 17, 2008. This past Saturday we ventured North to visit family. We had a wonderful time with Uncle and Auntie, talking and eating. After lunch Daddy, Andy and Uncle went out on the back half of their property to fire a few rounds. Andy was able to shoot a .22 and a 9mm hand gun. Later Auntie and I made 2 batches of her famous fudge and she sent us home with pickles and pickled green beans, which are half gone already. I remember her holding Andy for the first time. It was useless though ...

Just Virginia: January 2011
http://justvirginia1218.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. I need to knead. Can I just start off by saying that I love dough? I love dough. To be more specific, I love yeast dough. I love the smell of the yeast in dough. I love the way if feels when I am kneading the dough. Truly, it is like therapy for me. When I am having a super hard day, I will make bread. I will stand at my kitchen table and knead away all the frustrations and anxieties that I may have had. I fold it and turn it and squish it until I am sure that it is just right.

Just Virginia: Run Away!!!!
http://justvirginia1218.blogspot.com/2009/05/run-away.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. Recently, Alena and Olivia were out in the backyard "playing" and I could hear Olivia hollering. As I got to the back door, Alena was coming and and she says to herself, " Oh, this is so much fun! Knowing Alena like I do I asked her, while she rummaged through the junk drawer, what she was doing to her sister and she said they were "playing". So I let her take the safety scissors outside to free her captive and all is well, or so I think. Well, why didn't you run away from her?

Monday, November 24, 2008. Happy Birthday, Olivia! At 12 am on Thanksgiving Day 2005, my water broke and less than 4 hours later- I was holding my tiny, little, precious Olivia. Happy 3rd Birthday,Livi! Monday, November 17, 2008. Later Auntie and I made 2 batches of her famous fudge and she sent us home with pickles and pickled green beans, which are half gone already. We had one more stop to make and we were a little hesitant. We had to see Great Grandma Dupee. And in that moment of staring into her fac...

Just Virginia: Proverbs 22:6 Ponderings
http://justvirginia1218.blogspot.com/2009/05/proverbs-226-ponderings.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. Have you ever read a verse so many times that it kinda becomes a recording in your head? I had an "aha" moment while on the phone with a friend recently and it made me think of child training in a whole new light. Train up a Child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.". So we train up our kids and do our best to teach them " the Way". But what happens when our sons and daughters still don't come out right? He will not depart from it.". I have been ...

Just Virginia: April 2008
http://justvirginia1218.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Way back in January, our dear friends the Dickinson's decided to fill our yard with discarded Christmas trees. We had more than 15 trees standing up in our front yard. It smelled absolutely wonderful but what do you do with 15 trees? Well, you wait until the city comes to pick them up. When the spring finally came we still had reminders of the prank from the millions of pine needles in our lawn. It was late one Wednesday night and we hatched a plan for payback! We walked throug...

Just Virginia: The Test
http://justvirginia1218.blogspot.com/2011/01/test.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. Do you see that beautiful boy up there? That is my youngest. He has been a joy since the day I had him and not really much trouble. Of course, being the fourth child, he has learned a few tricks from his siblings. The most notable ones, he learned from Olivia. Or rather Vija, pronounced BEE-hah, as he calls her. She taught him how to be unabashedly cute. So adorable you just want to kiss their cheeks all day. Yesterday, however, we had our first "test". I got up, went to Matt a...
