I've seen this meme floating around and it somehow seems just right on this windy Friday...
Saying no to:
Feeling grumpy
Letting people down
Watching burn-out creep in
Saying yes to:
Taking the time I need to finish things
Being braver. Just a wee bit.
Baking as much as I want, ...

This week we tried a new soup recipe from my beloved uber-healthy vegetarian cookbook . Because when it gets cloudy and windy like it has the last several days, I start craving soup. I was intrigued by this recipe for a Southwestern corn soup that incorporated sweet potato, so I thought we'd ...

We've had an interesting--and unexpected--series of emails this week. Someone in Firefly's extended family, on her birth dad's side, reached out to us through the adoption agency.
To understand why they were so unexpected, you should know that Kevin chose not to tell anyone in his ...

This is Heather's husband, Todd. She is
feeling very ill right now, but not because of
these noodles. She woke up last night---well, you don't need any details. She has commissioned me to post this photo and recipe on her blog. I ...

Three beautiful things on a November evening...
Children giggling as they lie down to sleep

This has been one of Those Weeks. The
kind in which just making it to the dinner
table at the end of the day feels like an accomplishment. So any meals hav to be (1) fast and (2) made of ingredients already in our pantry or freezer. Our trusty ...

Open Adoption Roundtable #9
I forgot to tell you we came home one night last week to a message from Ray saying that he wanted to wish Puppy a happy birthday. Just to close the birth parent birthday loop that I thought was closed but was apparently half-dangling.
It was late, so Todd called him back on ...

For Halloween, Puppy dressed up as a Holy Crusader and Firefly went as a monkey.
I kid, I kid!
Puppy was a wizard, Firefly was a cat and it was all quite fun. Although Todd tells me the wizard costume would not have flown with his parents during his childhood years. Too evil, apparently. ...

I feel like a big cheater this week.

Today was a Little Church day, a Sunday we worshiped at the AME Zion church in town. We've been alternating weeks between that congregation and (what used to be) our usual church since mid-summer. Puppy dubbed them Big Church and Little Church based on the size of their buildings, but I'll ...

I had a hard time deciding what to
post this week, because we actually lucked out with
a string of tasty vegetarian dinners. (I think my family got a little tired of me taking pictures of our food.) So I'm going with the one that was a surprise to us ...
