I went to the mall today with the big kids and Doug’s sister. I had a pair of shoes for Aaron to exchange that had been a gift, and another pair I had purchased for him in Seattle that needed to be returned. Our first stop was a Croc’s kiosk where Aaron got to pick… Continue reading Ignorance as bliss?

We’ve gone green
Our family is completely under the spell of the Wicked soundtrack at the moment. Every time we get in the car, the cries arise from the back seat: “Put on Wicked!” “Wicked, please!” “Put on the starting part!” The kids have their favorite songs and lines, and I am amazed at how many of the… Continue reading We’ve gone green
Tributes to David Scholer
Fellow Fuller grad and Scriber, Patrick George McCullough, posted some great links to blog posts, articles and even some audio related to David Scholer and his passing. I found many of his links helpful and wanted to share them.

Though I have limited time for pleasure reading these days, I have a handful of blogs that I tend to check every day. They range in style and substance and for different reasons I appreciate their daily offerings.

Remembering David
It was with a heavy heart that I received the news yesterday that David Scholer had passed away. Dr. Scholer was a truly remarkable man, remarkable most in his kindness, gentleness, and humility.

Officer friendly
Last night was the second time on this trip that a police officer approached us and called us over for the sake of giving the kids little “Junior Deputy” star stickers. The first was at our early morning Starbucks breakfast stop in Fresno, and the second was last night as I was herding the children… Continue reading Officer friendly
Narrow is the road…
We have a narrow driveway that leads to the parking area behind our apartment. I am so grateful for on-site parking in our building (Kenwood is notorious for it’s overcrowded parking situation) but I have a complicated relationship with this driveway: I once popped the tire on my sister’s little Nissan Sentra when I borrowed… Continue reading Narrow is the road…
39
My parents celebrated thirty-nine years of marriage on Saturday. When I talked to my mom that night, I thanked her for her and my dad’s commitment to each other for all of these years. I realize that I am likely in the minority of my generation with regards to still-married parents at my age (not… Continue reading 39
