Our current read-aloud is Stuart Little after finishing all but Now We Are Six of the Milne books (we’ll go back and pick it up later). Today’s chapters include the one where the family thinks Stuart has gone down the mouse-hole. I just put Margaret and Nate to bed, am sitting at the computer surfing…

OK, so I’ve never ever done this, but here is a giveaway contest I’d actually like to win: Biblical Womanhood: Giveaway: Ballantyne Christian Adventure Library
We went to an art show at Easton Town Center tonight. It was a beautiful evening, and we saw a lot of beautiful art. One of our favorites was Terry Hsu. His landscapes were breathtaking, I wish some of the pieces we saw this evening were on this page. We did actually buy something, a…
