I wonder what she’s thinking… Not many good shots from this year’s dance recital. The lighting is difficult, to say the least. But, I do like this one.

The Princess and the Artist

I think Ella (the princess) will give her Papa fits when she is 15 or 16… and Lily (the artist) will have led the way! We travelled for holidays this year. Thanksgiving was spent in Florida with David and family. The girls shared their many interests with us:…

Marie, Genevieve and Lily at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Lily had a grand time using the iPad2 as her personal camera and photo editing device. I have no idea where Ella was when this picture was taken… or Michelle or Shawn. I didn’t take nearly as many…

Presents Are for Tasting

by Beth | January 10, 2011 | Featured, Pictures | 0 Comments

It was Genevieve’s first Christmas. The part that was celebrated in Birmingham included opening gifts over at Uncle Dan and Auntie Shawn’s house. However, it seems that paper is meant to be ripped off of the gift and then tasted. Over and over again.

Sleepy Claw

Aren’t smart phones like the iPhone or Droid neat? Kevin sends us the “Picture of the Day” from his iPhone several times a week. When we were up in Birmingham last week we noticed that Genevieve works hard to free her hands before she settles in to…

Falsely Accused?

by Beth | Nov 29, 2003 | in the Spirit, war & peace

Earlier this week, I had the unforntunate experience of a visit from the local Animal Cruelty Investigator. In the aftermath, I cried – sobbed, harder than I have in since we lost our schnauzer last year. Before that – God alone knows when I’ve cried…

How’s that diet going, anyway?

by Beth | Nov 9, 2003 | diet & lifestyle

So – does anybody read this stuff anyway? I’m still sticking pretty close to the Atkins eating and I’m down 30 lbs since I started. I still feel really much better than I did before I started on this way of life and I’ve noticed that I no…

Journey to myself

Healing
Luke 17:11-19 offers us the story where 10 lepers ask Jesus for help. All 10 are cured of leprosy as they were headed out to follow his instruction to present themselves to the priests. Only one, a Samaritan (foreigner, not a chosen person) turns back to say “Thank you.” Jesus tells this one that his […]
Of Kings and such
This Sunday the Catholic Church (at least in the US) celebrates the feast of Christ the King. Interesting how the readings for mass focus on shepherds and sheep and goats. Even the Psalm is Psalm 23 (The Lord is my shepherd.) If you want to read them yourself, look here: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112623.cfm The Gospel is Mt […]
Reconciliation
What about this Sunday’s Gospel hit me? For reference, read below. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20. Jesus said to his disciples: “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he […]
