a long way from the Theta house: April 2012
http://www.alongwayfromthethetahouse.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 9, 2012. Sometimes, he'd ask for a ride after dinner because it was dark and his granny didn't want him walking home alone. Outside his front door, waiting for him, his cat would almost always be pacing. Brandon would pick him up, scratch his head, and wave goodnight. Then, last Fall, on the way to the court at a park near his house, Brandon pulled a .22 out of his pocket and shot another kid seven times. Brandon's victim lived and made a full recovery, then his granny moved him back to Lou...

a long way from the Theta house: June 2012
http://www.alongwayfromthethetahouse.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Old friends and.(much) older friends. Graham was born in February 2002, just 13 months behind his big sister giving our family three precious children under three years old. I remember talking to my friend Carey ad nauseum about how in the world I was going to go to Target. Do I leave the kids in the car, grab a cart, and then load them up? What if it was hot and someone saw me and called CPS and they took my children away? For the next year or so, I got to hang out with Afi and...

Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Not as newsworthy as the Olympics. I apologize for taking so long to update the seven of you on Franklin's. I'm sure you've barely slept. This would have come sooner but we've been packing and shipping the girls off to camp at Pine Cove which is awesome. You know what would also be awesome? Their dentist will be thrilled. Also thrilling was the to-do list I found taped to my door when we got home. By it, you can see two things: 1. Franklin survived. They actually drilled holes in ...

Monday, October 29, 2012. For when our kids get married. A little less that 18 years ago, Trey and I stood on a stone patio in the Mexican sunset, surrounded by our family, and started a life together like one I could never have imagined. We've moved, changed jobs, had babies, moved again, started ministries, mourned, rejoiced, and felt the grace and mercy of the Lord wash over us again and again as we fumble our way through together. I can smell the salt in the air still. 2 Huge weddings are fun parties...

a long way from the Theta house: January 2013
http://www.alongwayfromthethetahouse.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 8, 2013. Oh, the blank page of a new post. Sometimes, I can't get my thoughts out fast enough and others, well, it's been three weeks since my last post so that pretty much explains it. The kids went back to school today and the house is quiet. No t.v., video games, or the constant bing of incoming text messages and I'm loving the quiet. We had a great break. Quiet and relaxing with just enough to do to keep things interesting. Trey broke out into a huge smile, "Roger"! Links to this post.

a long way from the Theta house: March 2012
http://www.alongwayfromthethetahouse.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. Close to home. (or Why friends don't let friends read their blogs.). The morning Olivia was born, I woke up at, like, 2 am because I had a few little cramps and probably needed to eat something. Obviously the forty-two pounds I had already gained weren't going to just sustain themselves? Anyway, they were at the door for Tee before sunrise, ready at a moments notice to help us through the crazy. And it's been that way ever since. Our oldest boys are two months apart and all ...

Monday, June 24, 2013. Hope for the Limping Soul. Wrote this last week for the North Texas Presbytery. Thought I'd share it here as well. And speaking if limping, our dog, Scout, tore her ACL chasing squirrels in our back yard.because that kind of stuff happens at our house. June 21, 2013. Hope For The Limping Soul. And there's a sincere love we have for one another that can only be the work of the Holy Spirit. Each family there has been called into a ministry that is a holy mess, so getting to lock ...

a long way from the Theta house: December 2012
http://www.alongwayfromthethetahouse.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. Taking matters into her own hands. Admittedly, it's been a little more hectic of a Christmas than usual. Maybe it's not actually more hectic because I'm by nature a procrastinator but it sure feels that way. It was awful. Even two weeks after our last fever broke, we're still a little weak and pale and thin. And it consumed the week of December which has made getting ready for Christmas crazier. Sometimes, he forgets about the long-term consequences of spilled glitter. As usual...
