Light as a Feather

August 31, 2007 By

From my nouveau devo, Take Flight by Robin Jones Gunn & Cindy Hannan. Black Winged Guilt: The enemy did in my heart the same thing he has done since the beginning of time: He broke in, stole and destroyed.

      My great grandfather and his two sisters. This is probably around 1912. He was 19 at this time–the same year he married my great grandmother at age 14! Notice the girls’ hair. And their clothes. And don’t you just love my great-grandfather’s smile? (for more ww click here and here)

Toddlerhood Part 2

August 28, 2007 By

(part 1 here) Last night I put Lydia to bed 40 minutes early. She slept for over 14 hours! When she woke up she wanted to drink her milk while laying in my lap in the rocker for another 30 minutes! Now she’s happily eating waffles in her high chair–smiling and talking the whole time. [...]
