late nights

crush the desires of my heart.
I lost the voice I had found.
I want to find it again.

Hannah knits! All my girls know how to knit now. When the boys are old enough, I’ll teach them too.

The finished Prayer Shawl for my sister (I know it’s a crummy picture - the shawl is layed out on my lumpy bed, and I’ve already shipped it to her, so I can’t take another picture):

Monday, January 21, 2008

Yesterday, while the boys napped…

I cut up some sandwiches and baked some organic chocolate chip banana muffins,
and brewed some vanilla honey tea…

… the girls invited some dolls,

We had a lovely afternoon tea!

Her childhood friend from New York came to visit:

Birthday?

Saturday, January 5, 2008

What? Who? Where?
Okay, if I must admit.
It was my birthday on the 3rd.
I am now 36.
40 is approaching must faster than I thought.

40, HA! I laugh in the face of 40!
