I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Lisa Simpson was my college Bible study leader, dear friend, mentor, and matron of honor. We used to hang out all the time when we lived close to each other. But it has been a whopping four years since we last were able to get together! The winter weather squashed our original plans to meet […]
There’s something magical about being the first one out in freshly fallen snow. …though it’s fun to share the snow with your family!

We’ve spent lots of quality time sitting around the fire in the family room… …reading books… …playing… …and watching the kids put on special performances for us…

If you’re on facebook, the full album is here. Janie is sleeping in the room with the computer, so I’ve had to squeeze editing these in between her naps. Here are a few of my favorites!

John is getting married today, so I’ll catch up on this week and post wedding pictures next week. My parents resurrected the traditional Willett family scavenger hunt this Christmas–with separate hunts for the big kids (eg, those in their 20s and 30s) and the small kids (eg, the under-7 crew).

Since we’re currently without a church home, our only Christmas program this year was the one the kids did at CBS. Janie had a meltdown in the nursery, so I had to hold her during the program and couldn’t inch around to get good pictures. Good thing everyone else in the world has smart phones […]

It was a pretty low-key visit, mostly hanging out, playing at some local playgrounds, and watching football. The big kids and […]
