Fall Fun
Beautiful fall day today…a little pumpkin carving – including E being disturbed by the inside of the pumpkin (thus, some of his facial contortions). K did several faces for me (excited, frustrated, angry, confused).

Interesting Self-Portraits
In preparation for a Parent’s Open House, our children drew self-portraits of themselves. Here are the results of this little art project. I have to admit I was a little concerned about E’s self-image, until I heard that he was actually drawing himself as a particular Star Wars character (click here to see who). With [...]

Slice of Life: “don’t let him see this”

Excursus on Sycamore Trees
My previous post reminded of this article I wrote for our church newsletter three years back: I have found at least two great reasons to have Sycamore trees in your yard – preferably one in the front yard and one in the back, as we do at our home. First, these two wonderfully tall and [...]

Slice of Life: Conversations with a 5 year old
Here are some random conversations with my son from recent weeks: This one came today (while the kids were riding bikes in the street): Me: When are you going to let me teach you to ride your bike without training wheels? E: (with stern look) Never. E: (a few minutes later) Were you seven when [...]
