  I’m exhausted. Everyone else has gone to bed, but I’m waiting for the two oldest–a junior and senior in high school–to return home. They both arrive at the same time and I follow their easy banter as they come up the stairs and into the kitchen where I am squeezing oranges into fresh juice. They talk about their

  Happy Birthday to my second born, Z~. Let me tell you about Z~. One year during high school he decided he wanted to run track. Now Z~ is a pretty talented kid and a lot of things come naturally to him. In fact I admire how when he decides he wants to do anything new he goes right after it and just does it. I wish I were that bold. But running

  I remember that while waiting for my own mission call at some point I realized they could send me anywhere and I had pretty much already accepted. Although I am mostly in denial at this point that the time as flown by so quickly, there is a little something–tugging at my mother-heart–that tells me not only could they send Luke

  Remember this? Suddenly allowing my child to hurl his body down the canyon on a piece of 1-inch plywood seems like such a small thing. (Of course I still have to breathe deeply and say a little prayer every time he picks up his longboard and heads out the door.) I knew it was only a matter of time. (Because in my younger and less mother-paranoid

  A big Happy Birthday to my “baby” who is now a whopping nine years old. K~ had a birthday party today and I had the best time observing hims as he made his plans. “We are going to play tree tag for 42 minutes, and then everyone will be tired so we will need a ten-minute rest break!” His initial plans were to do a service

  That’s my boy! After going 1-11 during regular season they are now 1-1 in tournament play. They won tonight 11-10. (Or something like that.) I don’t know whether I’m prouder of him for being such a great slider or of myself for figuring out how to upload video on my blog. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks.

  I spent the weekend getting rid of the bugs that were attacking our veggie patch. Now for those of you out there with active imaginations, I'll bet you're envious of me spending a hot summer's day in my huge veggie garden. Hold that thought right there! It's a 2ft by 2 ft plot of land [...]

  tradition of the season: snails! Yes, that's right, Caracois are to the Portuguese as hot dogs and hamburgers are to the Americans this season, and they're both cheap eats. From what most Americans know about snails in general, we know from the French, and still don't quite understand why they would regard such things as a delicacy! Well, it
