Just a couple quick hits… Big Family…I realized for the first time tonight that we really are a big family. Oh, there’ve been times where I “knew” that… but when I had to move two tables together tonight at Wendy’s just for our family… I finally understood the bigness of our not-yet-completed family. 🙂 Kirstie…

Benevolent Inventor I saw this on Chris’ blog. It takes longer than I thought, but is interestingly accurate in many ways…
If I Had The Time…
I’d let you know that my “church book” shipped on Thursday, and will likely arrive at my house on Monday! The printer said they look awesome, and I’m inclined to agree… 🙂 Even better, I am hopeful that the content will be an encouragement, and a help to people who are tired of organized religion,…
From Floods To Heat Waves?
I was looking at something on my Dashboard, and noticed my weather widget said that we’re going to be in the NINETIES the next four days! Argh! From torrential downpours to sweltering heat waves. I thought I liked NY weather? 🙂
Speaking of Floods
One more thing on all this flooding… I have been talking about the probably at least 1000 gallons of water in our basement, right?

The Floodgates
If you live around here, chances are you are wet. Since last night it has been pouring. I mean seriously, super-heavy downpours. Dumpings. Tons and tons of water dropped on our house. Well, the floodgates finally opened. At about 3:45, I noticed it was still raining really hard outside, and there was a persistent thought…
Revealing
It’s a beautiful thing when a daughter invites her Daddy to join her for a cup of pretend tea in her own little pretend world. I think that has begun in our house now. Kirsten, my two-year-old daughter invited her Daddy to come pretend with her after lunch today. But, perhaps my obsessions were revealed…
