RANDOM FRIDAY RAMBLINGS

Arctic Blast 2008 - We're suffering from the snow storm that happened six months ago. Tim's last day was supposed to be yesterday. Now he's working through Tuesday. Now, I realize many husbands work full-time all year and that Tim got an extra week off in December because of the storm ... but I still want to whine a little. It's been a doozy of a week and it would have been great to have him home today. Oh well.

Bad Memory - We recently read George Muller: The Guardian of Bristol's Orphans and a picture very similar to this one is on the back cover. This is George.


Every time Naomi sees the picture she says "Papa". Ummmm ... nope. I think it's been too long since she's seen my dad!! Good thing he'll be here for the weekend and can spend some time reacquainting himself with Naomi.

The Grocery Budget Poll - I must say that I was a little surprised by the results of the poll in my sidebar. I knew there would be a variety of numbers, but I expected a stronger grouping somewhere in the middle. It would be interesting to see what those amounts are spent on (lots of eating out, just basic food, diapers, etc), but there's just no way to do that here. Anyway, thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

The Boys & Church Stuff - Devon was recently spotted online watching a puppet show (first pic, on the right) at church. Silas showed up in some pictures from a beach trip he took with the grade school group. They spend a Saturday in Tillamook - playing at the beach, visiting the Tillamook Cheese Factory, and eating at Abby's. You can find him blindfolding Teacher Kaipo and flashing peace signs with him (first and second pics), telling two truths and a lie to Teacher Pat (first pic), listening to Teacher Josh and digging for buried treasure (third pic in the center, fourth pic on the top), heading up the dune (fourth pic, grey sweatshirt and red shorts), and concentrating or feeling confused (third pic).
.
Wonderful Summer Dinner - I tried two new recipes a few nights ago and fell in love with both. These two things make a perfect summer meal, light and fruity with some chicken for substance. Go check out the recipes - Tropical Salad and Grilled Hawaiian Chicken. Yum!!

Great photos of the boys and, yeah, Naomi definitely needs a Papa-face-identification-refresher-course as soon as possible! Like, for instance, today!
