Emily, she is so sweet. Hope you are surviving the blizzard like conditions that you spoke of so eloquently the other day. It's still too hot here. I wish it were snowing, or at least windy. I'd even take cloudy.

I was watching a little "america's next top model" over my lunch break, and Norah blows those girls out of the water!

Where did you get your pictures taken? Britain is due for an 18-month photo soon and I've been debating about where to take him.

Emily, I had no idea you had a blog...I am excited about it though! It is so fun to see pictures of Norah. She is a cutie, and looks so much like her brothers, but in a girly way:) I think I even see a little bit of red in that hair of hers!!

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that.

This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...

I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
