October 19th, 2009 by melis

Children, on marriage

September 17th, 2009 by melis

I was pretending to be a 5th grade teacher today, a thing I do every other week, when I take the big kiddos out to recess for a half hour and watch them kick soccer balls at each other for fun. I guess we have many future goalies in-training because that is the big thing [...]

Personal Blog o’ daily goodness

April 3rd, 2009 by melis

Christian was trying to convince me that my shoulder pain may be because there is a ghost on my shoulder, like in a horror movie he saw. The only thing I have killed lately is a bug or two…and plants, I do kill plants. So we are now planning a Summer Blockbuster called Ghost Bug, [...]
