A Run in the Arts: June 2010

http://runinthearts.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 10, 2010. Years ago, one of my roommates created an illustration based upon E. E. Cummings. I loved how she portrayed an old, gnarled satyr with an odd smile. You can see it on her art blog here. Wake Lily, wake," she heard someone say. The voice sounded merry, if not tinged with an unnatural hint of worry. She caught a whiff of strong, sweet pipe tobacco. A Gloryroot, that's the name," she said aloud triumphantly. Sunday, June 6, 2010. S "Goblin Market.". I don't attempt her scope, depth ...

Abbott Haven: August 2010

http://abbotthaven.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Unfortunately, I have no big news to share. Our situation is pretty much the same as it was before. We seem to be in a holding pattern, but we have hope it will change for the better soon. In the meantime, I thought I would share one of the random moments of our lives. I guess I could have made spinach omelets but ,oddly enough, I have no idea how and was too lazy to look up a recipe. Last night, however, did not go as planned. The slight sweetness of the rice and what was left ...

Abbott Haven: August 2011

http://abbotthaven.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 3, 2011. I've missed a lot of updating the last few months. I even missed Ethan's birthday last May, so here's a little summary (and then lots of pictures). OK, the koala's a bit much, but I've always thought they were really cool. We had cupcakes (gluten-free but tasty! Sang Happy Birthday and helped the little man open his presents. He loved everything, as much as a two-year old can, and I loved his clothes! He's slowly getting to the point where he can wear all of them! I really have...

Abbott Haven: November 2010

http://abbotthaven.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 23, 2010. I could just talk about everything that I'm grateful for, but I don't think anyone would have the time to read it. Ethan certainly wouldn't give me the time to write it. But we do have good news! Derek got a job! He was hired the day after my last post, so our hope was well placed. The hours are good, he always. Gets Sundays off, he's home in the evening and he makes enough that we should be caught up with our finances hopefully around Christmas. Yippee! I wish I could record ...

lines from the clines: April 2013

http://linesfromtheclines.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Wes' 2 new attractions! The Bumbo seat gives him plenty of time to examine his feet. And the Johnny Jump Up. well, though he's a lil too small for it, he likes to sit and twirl himself around with his big toe. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Out With The Old. Another visit to the duck pond but this time with Grandpa C! I have discovered that birding isn't a Matt thing, it's a Cline thing! Looks like he will carry on the tradition. Grandpa C giving Wes a ride. 3 generations of Clines.

Abbott Haven: June 2010

http://abbotthaven.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Thursday, June 10, 2010. A Dangerous Place to Sit. If you have come to visit our little haven you know that, until recently, we had been harboring a dangerous item. Though unassuming in appearance (I did buy it some camouflage after all), it was only a matter of time before our couch turned on us. How cool is that! It's like we're grown-ups! We were even blessed with Ben and his great moving know-how that got it from Idaho Falls to here without a single blemish! Thursday, June 3, 2010. No-Bake, All Bite.

Abbott Haven: August 2012

http://abbotthaven.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Well, after some negative responses to my last post, "'We're Back - Part Three' Cancelled", I just want to make sure that everyone knows it was all just a prank. It was just me dragging out the attention more and trying to get everyone a little more riled up about not finding out what is currently happening with us. So. sorry. Please don't hate me. So, just to re-cap, "We're Back - Part Three" is still on it's way. Sunday, August 26, 2012. Sunday, August 19, 2012. So, being th...

Abbott Haven: Who wants a gold star?

http://abbotthaven.blogspot.com/2014/03/who-wants-gold-star.html

Monday, March 17, 2014. Who wants a gold star? Ethan has been doing so well with everything. Forgive the bragging but he's so smart, and he loves school so much. He's sweet and takes good care of his little brothers, when he's not trying to take their toys. One of the major problems we're trying to figure out with him is food. He will not eat! Who doesn't love a treasure box? It just has little dollar store toys but when we sat down with him and explained everything he was over the moon about it. It'...

lines from the clines: A Weekend Visit

http://linesfromtheclines.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-weekend-visit.html

Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Another visit to the duck pond but this time with Grandpa C! He came to spend the weekend with us so we planned some fun schtuff to do with him. And yes, sitting at the pond feeding ducks like a couple of old geezers is fun to Matt and I! I have discovered that birding isn't a Matt thing, it's a Cline thing! They like their birds. And for the first time this day Wes gave us lots of laughs that we didn't have to tickle out of him. He thought the ducks were hilarious!
